Finding Life Lessons in Literature

3. “We begin reading books for fun and from
curiosity. We first read novels or watch films as a
means of entertainment and later we realize that we
get to know so many people and we can learn about
their innermost feelings, their way of thinking and
their thoughts.
No human being could be so honest and open-
hearted to reveal their entire soul and mind like a
book, especially a novel! Thus, we begin to look for
the people we know or would like to know in novels
and films and we are taught valuable lessons by
being shown clear-cut differences between right
and wrong, beauty and ugliness, kindness and
meanness, the real and the fake …and we discover
that some characters are similar to our age,
4. Little Women
A 1994 American drama film whose screenplay is based on
the Louisa May Alcott novel of the same name. The film focuses
on the March sisters - beautiful Meg, tempestuous Jo, tender Beth
and romantic Amy - growing up in Concord, Massachusetts during
and after the American Civil War.
With their father away fighting in the war, the girls struggle
with major and minor problems under the guidance of their
strong-willed mother. As a means of escaping some of their
problems, the sisters revel in performing in romantic plays written
by Jo in their attic theater.
From the scene we learn that, regardless of external
circumstances, we should work hard and do our best to maintain
a happy family life, full of excitement.

6. The Importance of Being Earnest
A 2002 British- American romantic comedy - drama film, based
on Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners play of the same name.
Marriage is of paramount importance in The Importance of Being
Earnest, both as a primary force motivating the plot and as a subject
for philosophical speculation and debate.
Even Lady Bracknell’s list of bachelors and the prepared
interview to which she subjects Jack are based on a set of
assumptions about the nature and purpose of marriage. In general,
these assumptions reflect the conventional preoccupations of
Victorian respectability- social position, income, and character
informing us about the hypocrisy and shallowness of the upper-class
society.

8. Jane Eyre
The 1847 novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, has
frequently been adapted for film, radio, television and theatre, and
has inspired a number of rewritings and reinterpretations.
Jane Eyre is the plain, impoverished young woman who is hired by
Mr. Rochester through Mrs. Fairfax to work as a governess for Adele.
Jane has strong internal passions and shows her strength in
character in expressing her opinions while Rochester is the Byronic
anti-hero who is tortured and tormented by family troubles, past
injustices and secrets.
The scene teaches us about two people, Mr. Rochester and Jane,
who find an affinity for each other, allow themselves to fall in love
and their feelings are strong enough to survive anything.

10. Caesar and Cleopatra
A play written in 1898 by George Bernard Shaw, was the basis
for a lavish 1945 motion picture starring Claude Rains and Vivien
Leigh and produced by Gabriel Pascal.
Shaw wants to prove that it was not love but politics that
drew Cleopatra to Julius Caesar. He sees the Roman occupation of
ancient Egypt as similar to the British occupation that was occurring
during his time. Caesar understands the importance of good
government, and values these things above art and love.
The scene is a lesson about the beautiful, ambitious and clever
woman who was the queen of Egypt.

12. The Great Gatsby
A 2013 Australian-American3D drama film based
on Francis Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name. The
mysterious central character is the self-made Jay Gatsby, a
millionaire bootlegger who in the summer of 1922 lives at West
Egg, the township outside Manhattan on Long Island Sound
where the nouveaux riches have built their mansions.
Across the bay at East Egg are the grand houses of the old-
money people, among them the rich, brutal, Ivy League
philistine Tom Buchanan, husband of the southern belle Daisy,
whom Gatsby courted as an officer and temporary gentleman in
the first world war. After losing her to Buchanan because he was
penniless, he now seeks to recapture her.
The scene teaches us about the strong emotions of an
ever-burning desire, the intensity of an obsessive love reunited.

14. Tess of the D’Urbervilles
The 1998 BBC drama is the best adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s 1891 novel
Tess of the D’Urbervilles in which the class differences, as well as the moral of
society, are hostile to people’s natural aspiration for happiness.
The scene follows Angel’s return from Brazil, in search of his abandoned
wife. When Tess appears, Angel pleads for her forgiveness and tells her that he
has learned to accept her as she is and desperately wants her to come back to
him. Brokenhearted, Tess replies that it is too late. Thinking Angel would never
come back for her, she gave in to Alec ‘s desires and is now under his
protection.
A tragic lesson about the importance of forgiveness and acceptance in the
name of love when it is no longer possible to change anything.

16. “Scent of a Woman”
Adapted from the novel “Il buio e Il miele” (Italian :”Darkness
and Honey”), “Scent of a Woman” is a 1992 American drama that
tells the story of a preparatory school student - Charles O’ Donnel -
who takes a job as an assistant to an irascible , blind, medically
retired Army officer, Frank Slade and becomes his friend.
In the final speech, meant to defend his young friend, Charlie, in
front of a disciplinary committee, the colonel shares the following
lessons: leaders are made of courage and integrity, you should never
let anyone kill your spirit and, when you come to the crossroads,
follow your heart, stand up for those you believe in and do what you
think is right.
18. The Devil Wears Prada
A 2006 comedy-drama film based on Lauren Weisberger' s
2003 novel of the same name. Andrea Sachs is an

despite her ridicule for the shallowness of the fashion industry,
lands a job "a million girls would kill for" : Junior personal
assistant to Miranda Priestly, the icy editor-in-chief of Runway, the
best fashion magazine in the country.
The scene teaches us that, even if one may encounter
obstacles, challenges and restrictions in work life, especially at the
beginning of one’s career, one shouldn’t give up without a fight.
Also, being size 0 and wearing fashionable clothes is not enough,
anyone who is smart and strong can become successful.

20. Stepmom
A 1998 comedy-drama about a divorced couple that are struggling to help
their children Anna and Ben be happy with this sudden change of lifestyle. This is
far from easy, as their father is living with his new girlfriend, a successful fashion
photographer several years his junior. The real and the “stepmother” clash
repeatedly, largely over parenting styles. This becomes evident when Ben goes
missing on Isabel's watch and Jackie claims that she has never lost him, which in
the following scene she admits to be untrue.
However, following the diagnosis of Jackie’s terminal lymphoma, they
manage to establish a shaky truce, as both Jackie and Isabel come to terms with
the fact that Isabel will soon step into the role of surrogate mother.
The two women finally bond when Isabel reveals her admiration of Jackie's
maternal instincts, while Jackie in turn praises Isabel's "hipness" as a means to
connect with Anna.
A lesson about devotion, sacrifice and wisdom, all in the name of love.

meets along the way.
Ryan Bingham works for the Career Transitions Corporation. He
makes his living travelling to workplaces in the U. S. and informing

doing it themselves.
Part-time, Ryan also delivers motivational speeches, using the

free of burdens like relationships with people as well as things,
arguing that the best way to live is to travel light, with little to hold
one down.
24. An Education
A 2009 coming-of-age drama film, based on a memoir of the
same name by British journalist Lynn Barber. In 1961 London, Jenny
Mellor is a 16-year-old schoolgirl on track to get accepted to Oxford

discovers David is already married. When she reveals her discovery
to David, he drops out of sight. Jenny despairs, feeling she has
thrown her life away, but with the help of her favourite teacher,
resumes her studies and is accepted at Oxford the following year.
Both scenes emphasize the importance of education in life.

A 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola,
based on Mario Puzo's 1969 novel of the same name, the film
stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino as the leaders of a fictional New
York crime family. The story, spanning the years 1945 to 1955, centers
on the transformation of Michael Corleone from reluctant family
outsider to ruthless Mafia boss while also chronicling
the family under the patriarch Vito Corleone.

ranked as the second greatest film in American cinema.
In the scene, the ageing patriarch of an organized crime dynasty
transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.
29. Pirates of the Caribbean
A series of fantasy adventure films produced by Jerry
Bruckheimer and based on Walt Disney's theme park ride of
the same name. The franchise's second film, subtitled Dead
Man's Chest, was released in 2006; the sequel proved
successful, breaking financial records worldwide the day of its
premiere. It ended up being the number one film of the year
upon earning $1,066,179,725 at the worldwide box office.
The scene was chosen because it is one of the children’s
favourite films and they happily agreed to try to learn and act
together in English. They also wanted to mix the pleasure of
watching the film with learning a few lines in English.
31. My First Audition
Written by Mary Brotherton, available at
http://www.monologuedb.com/dramatic-
male-monologues/my-first-audition/, it is not
a part of a film but it has an interesting title
and topic for anyone who wants to learn
English better and to enrich their vocabulary.
33. Pride and Prejudice
Written by Deborah Moggach, based on Jane Austen’s novel
of the same name, Pride and Prejudice is a delightful film and an
even lovelier book.
First published in 1813, the story follows the main
character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners,
upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of
the landed gentry of early 19th-century England.
The scene of Mr Collins’ Proposal to Elizabeth teaches us
that being humble is sometimes a good thing but it is almost
never an advantage.

35. The Addams Family
The Addamses are a satirical inversion of the ideal
American family; an eccentric, wealthy clan who delight in the
macabre and are unaware (or simply do not care) that people
find them bizarre or frightening.
Addams Family Values (released on November 19, 1993)
used far more grotesque humor that strove to keep the
original spirit of the Addams cartoons.
The scene is a hopefully amusing way of improving your
English pronunciation.

37. CSI Neverland
A monologue called”Neverland 911” from the play
”CSI Neverland”. The monologue of the operator
can be found here:

Mono 02.htm.
We like the scene because it seems to be a trick
played on someone as a joke. Practise it if you too
love to learn mixing serious work with pleasure.
