The Merchant of Venice A highly interesting book, where one is made to ponder on many things.Antonio is not a good man. I wonder what shakespeare was trying to portray. He painted Shylock as an evil guy and all that, but in the end, i think most people liked shylock more than stupid antonio. I mean, first, he spits at shylock and antagonises him, then now he wants to borrow money from shylock, yet says he would spit at him all over again in future? Shylock however, could have steered clear of his doom by forgiving him i guess? for it takes a lot more to forgive one who has wronged you than to seek revenge. I think the reason why most people commit crimes is because they were once wronged. Tell me, what perfectly sane person with a happy life and living in a perfect world would want to go around killing other people? What loved person would want to go around causing other people heartache by murdering random people? But say if i use the example ms huang gave in class, like this husband is cheating on his wife, and she files for divorce and she gets some money, then he goes out of her life, wth the young and pretty new girl, and she's left heart-broken with some money? Which shin of course, wouldn't mind... but, is it enough to balance the wrong done her? No! So she kills her ex-husband. :p Anyway, i think it's better to forgive people, cos as ms huang said, if anyone ever wronged you, i don't suppose the worthless person gives a hoot whether you hate the person or not? And you'll only be hurting yourself in the end, which would result in the pleasure of the other party, since the person doesn't care, obviously, cos a person who cared wouldn't hurt you. If after you forgive the person, the person wrongs you again, you wouldn't be that affected if you'd already forgiven the person again? Ms huang said it just shows who the lesser man is. Ms huang sounds super experienced, but anyway, the lit lesson was super interesting. I'm the colonel, oh yeah, oh yeah! Yining is the lieutenant! Shin is, of course, the commander of the army, and rachita is a private. Wondering what i'm talking about? Don't worry, you'll know sooner or later. -grins- my evil plans to takeover the world!!! haha, not mine exactly, shin's. the time is not exactly right yet to reveal our devious plans... (i just realised i sound like a maniac, a lunatical maniac, nvm, i'm slightly mad.)
I'm supposed to have lunch with Jo teo and sis elaine tmr, i think excluding christopher, but my mummy don't let me go. i guess i don't really mind though, i get more sleep if i don't go. :p i have to go to school tmr... how does chewmin manage to have two ccas??? i'm sleepy....i can't think. i remembered that i had a lot to blog about, but i can't rmb anything now, so nvm.
