Two Identities

As class was finishing up, the questions aroused about two identities in one situations. Initially, I thought we can have two identities all the time. However, I realized how lost one person can get in this sort of mess. For Twinkle, she had the pressures of being a wife, a woman, Indian, and American. Also, she needed to fit into the Catholic community. If Twinkle could be all these people at once, she has skillful master the art of juggling. In time, the true identity of an character will be made know.
Personally, there are many different identities I have depending on the situation. In the classroom, I act differently with my friends, and so on... But all this changing of your identity make you lose a part of yourself? Of course, not. According to Sanjeev, Twinkle was trying to put on an act. In reality, Twinkle had different identities depending on the situation. Sanjeev was the one struggling with his own identity. He is in his mind set and cannot believe anything else. Overall, we can have two identities but we may only present one at a time.

The Honeymoon is Over

In our recent reading, the question of what happens after your marriages arises? For Twinkle and Sanjeev, they did meet and marry rather quickly. They were madly in love, but now Sanjeev may regret his choice of marriage. The house serves as a parallel to their marriage. Sanjeev rushed into both situations. When buying the house, he did not notice little details of the religious artifacts. This is similar to the angry he gets from Twinkle's speech. Even though Sanjeev dislikes certain attributes of his wife, the party reminds him of his love. I developed a sense of trophy wife because everyone fall in love with Twinkle. Overall, the couple does have the power to stay together and I am on Sanjeev's side. Too many religious artifacts can be overwhelming, especially if you are not part of the faith.

We see religious statues on campus, but how many of students own religious items. Yes, we have a necklace and something similar. But the author's description of relics are not beautiful masterpiece. Instead, they are items that all around oneself.

"O" Changing for Me

In a comment, I was asked the question if the movie had the same core plot as Othello. Initially, I believe that the plot has changed in some forms. In class, we discussed the idea that we feel more for Hugo than Iago. In the movie, Hugo has this distant father - son relationship. In sports, this distant relationship does occur. Sometimes to overpowering brothers and sisters that have more talent and the parents feel the need to concentrate on the family member doing their best.

Also, in Othello I felt for the character, Othello. He was innocent in the play and fall victim to Iago's tricks. However, in the movie, Odin's I kind of feel he desires what he gets. In the movie, Odin has this "past." They really do not reference it, but as an audience member I felt like he had the choice to play basketball for the school or jail. Yes, the school did play money to get Odin, but who got the money?

Overall, the movie has changed my view about the play. I kind of wonder if I misinterpreted, but that is the risk of reading. You build and image, and sometimes Hollywood's view is different than yours.
