so bernarda alba.it starts off with the servents kind of trash talking how bernarda treats them,like dogs basically.how all they do is work and work,get next to no food,and no appriciation for it.
eventually they start to talk about antonio maria benvides,and alot of women in black enter,so i'm going to infer that he died and they just returned from a funeral.
then i'm also going to guess that the girls and women that they were refering to,but never gave names for are bernarda's family or her daughters,she does call one name so i'm going to guess that its one of her five daughters.
i'm really unsure what to write about here,i mean i think i'm still on that platform point if i had a plot chart thing...like i hate writing about the beginings of plays because i feel like there never is much to write about.but i'm not sure yet with this play.i do like the title,because in the norton they have a little conotation that says "a drama about the women in the villages in spain" so that sounds interesting and judging by the character list i'm going to guess that it centers around bernarda's generations,her daughters and her mother.so with women in generations there is always drama,plus with 5 kids ages 20-39,you just kinda know that there will be drama.and with a grandmother there,i'm going to guess that she'll want the "old ways" back and will lecture her uncaring granddaughters about them.while bernarda will also lecture her daughters about something different.
i'm not making fun of the play,i'm excited to read it.i'm just saying that you can almost tell what will happen just by that.
pg-100
today,we did open scenes!yay...well i practice me and lexii were the first group to demonstate,and i feel that we worked really well in practice.we both were really excited for the scenes.i felt that it could have gone a bit better though.like more expanding and contracting,physically at least.i mean weve had far better practices.but i dont want to compare it.what's done is done.
