Yay finally writing this!

So, my brain was swarmed with so many thoughts after our big talk about King Lear and I finally get to write it down! So one of my first big thoughts was when we talked about the end of King Lear. I love it! After talking about everything and what not, I no longer want to watch any movie with a happy ending because that's not life. What is the end of a movie? The start of another chapter. In a typical movie, it's bad, bad, bad, bad, the sun shines, there’s some kissing going on, then boom, they leave you with a happy ending which inevitably means they’re off to bigger and better things. But, think about your own life. When do you start a new chapter in your life? (Usually anyways)... When something really bad happens. That's when you're life takes a huge turn. When was the last time something really amazing happened and it turned your world around, I mean besides having a kid or getting married, nothing really. At the end of the chapters in your own real life, they end badly, if they ended good there would be no reason for a new chapter. That's just my perspective though; there could be people who think completely different. Another thing we spoke about is how it would be more pleasing to think that the 2 sisters were these beautiful women. I kind of find this funny because society find it more for filling so to say when there is a contrast between the meanness and beauty. If it was cruel ugly people, well that just sounds weird and wouldn’t be as satisfying as to radiant women with cold hearts. I find that very interesting, not sure why, but I do.
