Consequences Of Marriage And Wedding Scenes In The Deer Hunter

In the opening scene of “Muriel’s Wedding”, directed by P.J. Hogan, ideas of searching for self-worth and one’s identity are explored through the setting, Tania’s wedding. This is symbolic of new beginnings, which is what drives the plot and the character, Muriel, who is seeing herself and a new identity through engagement and marriage.

When the audience thinks about the stereotypical wedding, they would expect happy, excited and perhaps nervous atmosphere, lots of bright, warm colors and people around with smiles on their faces talking about the fabulous ceremony and the two families being joined. This is why the situation is very confusing for the audience – it happens rather seldom, or does not happen at all, that the bride is cruelly beaten up during her own wedding, the whole thing does not meet the audience’s expectations regarding ‘a wedding’. This also effectively gets the audience to want-to- watch to look for an explanation – why did this happen? How did the situation get so bad that the bride is killed on her own wedding…?

As a comparison between tribal and western communities, a brief story is shown about a marriage in Canada. This marriage is the man’s second but the woman’s first, although she already has two children. This part of the film shows the man and woman getting ready for their wedding and talking of how they knew it was the right time to get married. Their wedding marks a right of passage separating them from the dating world and bringing them into the married world. Like the Nyinba tribe, a gift is given in the wedding ceremony to show this but instead of coins they exchange rings.

An inspiring actress once said, “Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility”(Anne Hathaway). Weddings can either be a girl's most important day, or the most surprising. According to the Elizabethan era, they were a bit more surprising. In this era, these weddings were arranged with ceremonies, certain customs, and receptions. All while the bride was required to meet the standards of women in that society.

Marriage is the union of two people, traditionally husband and wife. Traditional also are the roles that women play when confined in a marriage. When a woman has had the opportunity to educate herself pass tradition and has been use to a fast-paced modern lifestyle, this role of the wife might prove to be quite onerous to mold to. Usually a time of joy, celebration, and adulation, marriage may also bring along emotional and physical pain as well as awkward situations, as the woman must alter herself to conform the traditional role of what a wife should be. Bessie Head depicts two modernized, educated

During the 1870s and 1880s, the plural marriage created a crisis for Mormonism.

I agree with your point here, Fern is trying to describe the event in such a way that other women that are reading it can see just how unnecessary this is. She is trying to portray the fact that a marriage is a two way street in which I agree. In this time women lacked confidence it thought they had to go up and above to keep the attention of their husband which is not entirely true. Where you point out that it is impossible to create a perfect household, i believe is what fern is trying to ultimately say her and to try to comfort those young wives in their relationship. The fact that she is trying to teach them something that is not popular in society at this time was a big step for women

It also shows the higher social status of elders in the community. In performing the rituals and traditions of the wedding, which are gender segregated, a performance of gender is embodied. Cowan uses the phrase ‘entering the dance’ to denote entering the field in which knowing what is and isn’t appropriate action, in potentially sexualised and physically intimate scenario is imperative. Therefore, meta-narratives and framing equips participants with the knowledge of appropriate codified norms of behaviour, to be employed in the time and place of the dance rituals. Furthermore, the performers become the dance, putting on the persona of the dancer, adopting the metaphorical masque to ‘perform’ the dance. Cowan argues that social dancing poses specific ‘problems’, as well as pleasures, for women and girls, which differ from the problems and pleasures it poses for boys and men. For the male, the pleasure and problems both stem from alcohol, and maintaining the dominant male status attached to consuming large amounts of alcohol (Cowan 1990: 110 – 112), whilst simultaneously making oneself vulnerable to illness or embarrassment resulting from drinking and drunken antics. For woman, it also concerns how identity is managed beyond the dance. However, concerns revolve around

    In the opening sequence of the film, the viewer is immediately presented with an image of marriage as entirely contractual: "Today he married me to a man I've not yet met." The protagonist, although she has already been established as strong-willed and non-conforming, is accepting but not altogether optimistic about the arrangement. The viewer also learns that she
