The Night Circus
The Night Circus Play
In this play we see that there is love which
is forbidden but also favored. These are the main points through the play. It
all starts out with Celia and Marco who are tied in love and they have a
challenge ahead of themselves. However there is a always a struggle to maintain
that love throughout the play due to the both of them having to concentrating
and not breaking the rules. So we see that there is a pattern between the two
main characters in terms of love because they both want to be in love but the
competitions and rules are keeping them from doing that. So towards the end it
is sort of like Romeo and Juliet where they both attempt to die together but
with their spells they die together to live as spirts eternally. There is a
spiritual challenge here and that is when the two characters do there best to
be in love but through sneaky way. Along with moral issues, they both seem not
abide to the circus’ rules and do whatever they please which shows that they
are not concerned about what happens to them in the end.
Excellent post! I love forbidden romance stories! I am totally going check this book out soon!!
ReplyDeleteIn class we discussed how this novel has an almost Romeo & Juliet undertone to it. I like how you chose that theme of forbidden love to talk about here. Breaking the rules for love is a huge trope and can be seen in so many media outlets. I quite like this theme, and I would consider giving this novel a read in the future.
ReplyDeleteReading this, I also did pick up on the similar writing style and themes of "Romeo and Juliet" to "The Night Circus". Good observation!
