He exchanged many letters with her and developed a close friendship. There was only one problem: she was married to one of his in-laws. Despite his feelings, however, no evidence exists that he ever crossed the line into an affair. He put the welfare and feelings of others first instead of rushing emotionally into something that could be very damaging.

My father, poorly led? World, world, O world! But that thy strange mutations make us hate thee, Life would not yield to age. (Act 4 Scene 1 Pg. 207 lines 10-12) This parallels Lear’s death as he also condemns his daughter Cordelia. I have seen the day, with my good biting falchion I would have made ‘em skip. I am old now, And these same crosses spoil me. Who are you? Mine eyes are not o’ the best, I’ll tell you straight. (Act 5 Scene 3 pg. 317 lines 276-279) Both deaths run on the same train tracks, as King Lear and Gloucester die as better and wiser men than they showed themselves at first.

At the young age of 17, she fell in love for an attractive gambler, named Frederick Hart. She soon eloped with Hart, who sometimes worked as a bartender, but more often lost his money from gambling. Hart was also a heavy drinker and sometimes abusive

Not long after they continue on the road, Kirsten and August venture out to loot, unaware that when they return the Symphony will have dispersed. Through Kirsten’s memory of her only book after the collapse, “Dear V,” Arthur’s thoughts and actions were documented. This, however, caused controversy among those around him who were written about within the letters. Returning to the plotline of at the beginning of the novel, Jeevan and his brother Frank survive in Frank’s apartment for around two months until Frank kills himself in order to offer Jeevan more opportunity of survival. Reverting back to Arthur, Miranda and him meet up due to Arthur’s father’s death and the soon to be released “Dear V,” that happens to contain snip-its of Arthur’s relationship with Miranda.

Arthur’s actions in Station Eleven made him a significant presence to other characters. Arthur was married three times throughout his lifetime. Each of these three marriages would eventually end in divorce. His first marriage came to an end during a dinner party Arthur threw for his wedding anniversary with Miranda.

Under lots of pressure to “find religion”, she finally gets a vision one day. During her vision, she has to carry a heavy sack across a river.

An accident occurs during their trip and it leaves the women alone and terrified and as they stumble upon people who promise to help them, they soon find out that's not the case. Wini and the girls must learn how to make survive the haunting wilderness if they want to make it out alive and they must learn that everything they knew is different from the challenges they face.

In the version I know the woman is the daughter of slaves, black, American, and lives alone in a small house outside of town. Her reputation for wisdom is without peer and without question. Among her people she is both the law and its transgression. The honor she is paid and the awe in which she is held reach beyond her neighborhood to places far away; to the city where the intelligence of rural prophets is the source of much amusement.

A young, married couple, part of this family also, is also struggling because the man is thinking on leaving. His wife is pregnant, but he believes the child is not his. She was rape, and this has drawn them apart. Two more women, are part of this family. They come to the island from the main land on the day the movie describes. One of them is religious; she believes in Jesus Crist. This is another struggle between religious traditions. The other women left the Island long ago to live in the main land. In this day she was coming back to her land to stay, to rediscover herself. However, she got rejected by many women in the family. They consider her a traitor because she left. The younger women accept her because they are more open-minded.

There is a famous expression by a renowned Australian psychiatrist, neurologist and a Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl, “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” (2006) which is very much relatable to the astonishingly well written post-apocalyptic novel “Station Eleven” by Emily Mandel published on September 9, 2014. The author gives voice to many characters and highlights the efforts they make to create a little utopia of their own in the eerie and dystopian aftermath of the pandemic which swept majority of the Earth’s population. Given that, the novel is unconventional in its own narrative and focuses on the major key theme of rebuilding humanity from the ashes of destruction for the purpose of not only surviving, but to relive and stay humane against the

Arthur and Betty Hughes have been married 68 years. Arthur, 93, served in the Army infantry in Germany and France in WWII. Back in the U.S. at college, he met Betty and they married in 1946.

His love life was very lively. He had four wives in total and the fourth one was his last. His first wife was named Mildred Harris (1901-1944) and they married in 1918 after a pregnancy scare. They divorced in 1920 and it wasn’t pretty. His second wife was named Lita Grey (1908-1995) and she gave birth to two children with Chaplin. This marriage came to a bad end in court. His third wife was Paulette Goddard and it lasted from 1936 to 1942. They divorced too, but it was on okay terms. Finally his last wife was Oona O’Neill and she was 18 when they met. They found happiness together and had eight kids.

The opportunity to view both productions of King Lear has appeared twice for me in the past two years. The first time I viewed Trevor Nunn’s 2009 production of King Lear my review would have been based solely on my ability to understand the dialogue and my appreciation of the acting of Ian McKellen. Two years later I have a better understanding of the actual play and while I still enjoy the 2009 production the 1982 production directed by Jonathan Miller presents the words of William Shakespeare in a more accurate and period specific manor.
