Block, 2.12 & 13 - Write about Love

Wickham or Darcy?

• 3PO
• Check HW (Romantics Notes 1) while you study your sonnet for the recitation today.
• Journal: Write about Love
• In one full paragraph, tell us about your favorite romantic love story—it can be from a book, a film, or real life—by answering the following questions:
• Characters: who is the couple? (must be a man and a woman)
• Setting: where does the story take place?
• Conflicts: 
• What initially keeps the couple apart, and what (additional) trials do they face (and overcome . . . or not)? 
• Are they internal (character flaws) and/or external (villains, social expectations) etc?
• Transformation: what character development do you see these characters undergo, making them dynamic?
• Wisdom: 
• trying to go beyond the cliche, what did you learn about the nature of love through this story? 
• OR if it is cliche . . .
• how does the story merely offer a cliche vision of the nature of love?
