LANGUAGE…ENGLISH…

 

LANGUAGE…ENGLISH…

Anybody who offers English as a major subject would definitely read Shakespeare’s Plays…comedy and tragedy. Though Shakespeare said… That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet…. from the play Romeo and Juliet. Even now we come across names we read in these plays. Cordelia is King Lear's favorite daughter until she refuses to flatter the old man and gets booted out of the kingdom without a dowry. Soon after, she marries the King of France and raises an army to fight her wicked sisters and win back her father's land. The story is based on a mythological Leir of Britain.While talking about myths…the body of all myths…Myths are stories created to teach people about something important and meaningful. ... While myths are completely made up, legends are based on events that really happened. The Greeks believed in gods and goddesses who, they thought, had control over every part of people's lives. In this context-- Pegasus is a mythical winged divine horse and one of the most recognized creatures in Greek mythology. Usually he is depicted as pure white. Myths about him vary as the Greek myths evolve and reflect progression through successive generations of deities. Then the Pandora ’s Box is an artifact in Greek mythology connected with the myth of Pandora in Hesiod's Works and Days. He reported that curiosity led her to open a container left in care of her husband, thus releasing physical and emotional curses upon mankind.

Now we mortals…did we learn anything meaningful?
