“Mourning becomes Electra” by Eugene o’ Neil

Mourning becomes Electra

                   The play reflection of life and death. This play “Mourning becomes Electra” written by Eugene o’ Neil publish in 1922.  The title is problematic. In the play has to become of morning itself something bad. In play lavinia has protagonist and his father was came to 10 years back in the home. We see that o’ Neil gives three part of that:

·        Home coming

·        The Hunted

·        The Haunted 

                                            

              As we know that lavinia and his mother Christen love to Adam Brand.  Here we see that Adam was cousin to Ezra Mannon. Both are faces was same and how women psychology itself became love to Adam. At that time not in home to Ezra. So we see that both mother and daughter lover them. Here see that revenge of that. Lavinia haws know that his mother love to Adam. At that time Ezra came to home and christen told that she loves to Adam. At time Ezra was dying.  As we see that lavinia and Orin was anger and went that. Peter and Hezal loved to lavinia and Orin. Both are not accepted that. Both are love to this brother and sister. But at time we see that Mannon family becomes criminal. At that time christens was sad and she became suicide. Orin love his mother and not happy that she loved to Adam.  

                      

                 In the play death has center. How Mannon house was mystery and problems to leave Mannon member. So we see that lavinia mind so bad and evil. She was not love to peter. But just only for blind love Adam. Orin killed to Adam brand. Just his mother becomes suicide. When time pass a way lavinia and Orin goes to island and time want away. 

                         

    How world war effect to this family member die. But not to war effect, it is evil of all Mannon family and his old forefather leave in that house. May be Mannon mystery and seriousness in this family member die. Here we see that lavinia love her father Ezra it is Electra complex and Orin love christen it is Oedipus complex. It is psychology and unconscious mind of Mannon family. 

Here we see that lavinia was criminal and it’s between to love means she said that “I am love of my father and care to him” it means that lavinia was wife of her father. It is love them. May be lavinia kill to Adam and christen. It is in not to play. Here see that play was complicated and problems of Mannon family and house. At end that Orin came and struggle in war. He was also shut out to his father gun and suicide that. Whenever time moves away lavinia was think that to write book and history of Mannon family. At last lavinia has lock in Mannon house and she committed suicide. Lavinia has given justice and largest criminal mind in Mannon house.

                So we can say that it is psychology and evil mind of people. Not happy with each other. Lavinia has criminal and love her father is Electra complex. Just to be conscious mind and disorder to lavinia mind.

"The old man and The Sea"- Hemingway

The old man and The Sea

 ‘The old man and the sea’ written by Hemingway published in 1952. In this novel protagonist Santiago was center.  Santiago as old man and his journey to 84 days. Here we see to generation gap and old man struggles to life. He was fisher man and his friend was young boy mandolin. Old man is ideal to mandolin. Old man teaches mandolin by action not by words. Hemingway gives ideas about generation gap and old man was sick at physical not mind. He goes to journey to morning at mid night.  In the novel we see that Santiago went to sea and he caught one big marlin fish. But at that time sharks came that and old man was struggle to sharks. Here we see that old man was sick and body should not work that. He was remembered his young day. How he fights them to Negro person and his life vision of that he became won.  In that time we see that Santiago dispelled to sharks at his old tools and wick them. Here we see to Hemingway dream to journey to the sea. 

“He had attained humanity, but he knew he had attained it & he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride”.

  Santiago has to never want to marline fish. But at sharks attack he was save to his head. it may be that Hemingway vision and how fight to sharks as life struggle them. He was happy to life itself as reality.

                           Hemingway hope that life should be goes away. Santiago was desire and hope to life vision. But such kind of fear in their mind. Pride is Santiago’s fatal flaw. Hemingway has to life as honest to save marline fish. But he loves them. In such kind of spirits and reality to Hemingway honest of marline fish to life itself. 

At that time we see that Santiago say that “Man can be destroy but not defeat”.  He was not himself Santiago. How Hemingway gives real life experience and life struggle them.

                  

                   In novel we see that dream is very important that to connected Hemingway life. in the novel main symbols like  marlin fish, sharks, the sea, the lion, the skiff, the mask, the lost harpoon, joe DiMaggio etc.  Santiago has moral thinks and he was forget sadness that‘s why at end in his hand victory to caught marlin fish. Old man journey itself to as the sea. Because of that sea has want way every time and our life has also become sea that is never ending this life.

The Lover

Here we are, yes, You and me
like two in love, that none can see;
where er I go, yes You are there,
between the thoughts of "me" -to snare;

To trap my mind, that I believe,
that i'm the one who plays the lead,
important more, than those around,
more talent, looks, and more profound;

But thoughts comparing are not true,
they weight the "me" against the "you",
they cut apart, they separate,
what was made One, for me escape;

And why would I want to depart?
from Love, from One, from Your sweet heart,
-to see myself apart, not whole,
-to see myself with tiny goals ?

For tiny goals, they do not fill,
and lacks-perceived, they do not thrill,
these thoughts project a future fear,
makes lack in mind, seem -oh so near;

The opposite also occurs:
so great am I, my role obscures,
the truth from what my self would want
a future thought project: "no want";

Yes hope 's like this, a future thought
to hide my fear from me in thought,
and live a life of dreams in mind
but then I miss Your Sweetness fine;

These two, an act, in mind it seems,
to make our fear more than a dream,
to make us plan, avoid the fall,
a future thought, not real at all;

So here we are, yes You and Me,
connected to the All that Be,
between the thoughts that try to snare,
our core belief is hidden there;


Yet core beliefs, temp-or-all be,
I am the All or not you see,
I am in Him, or not at all,
I am in Him, there was no fall.

Why does our mind project imagined future problems? Isn't this mind activity connected to our core belief?

ACIM tells us that "there is one problem, and one solution."

The Ending

Waiting for occasion,
Love is patience rest,
It knows all are it's friends,
it knows that all are blessed,

And you sweet one are one of them,
though living in a mist,
a mist of problems made of fears,
that you would miss the bliss.

"So give it up, the dream of fears,"
I speak myself to me,
and come to Love awaiting you,
like Buddha under the tree.

Awakening is just like that,
one gives up all their fears,
and lives from joy inside themselves,
"the now" beyond their tears.

Walk gently in this world of pain,
and bless each one you see,
for we are in Loves sure embrace,
and all one company,

Those who seem lost,
will soon be found,
the captives are set free,
Our mind no longer captive to
the small idea of "me"

"What will become of me" we ask,
"what will the ending be?"
We melt into the Love we are,
In Joy, we are set free.

Love waits only for us, like a parent who waits for the child to calm down from their tantrum.
ACIM tells us that "there is one problem, and one solution." The problem is that we think we are separate. The solution is that we are not. Check it out.: A Course In Miracles.

Unworthiness Error

Oh sweat Ones, in your torments,
my heart is one with yours'
for We are all connected to
the Love, which is but yours;

It's given you, without a string,
for God, she smiles in you,
just let go of the thoughts that say
"unworthiness is you";

If error we did yesterday,
forgiven, yes are we !
for we did not know what we did
and in a dream, we be;

Now Jesus said this clever line,
I parrot now for you:
"forgive them, they are all asleep,
they know not what they do;"

So errors come from dreaming
of stuff that is not true:
that you are separate from Love,
and Love He hates you too;

Pretending that He loves you,
his back He turns away,
For joy is His to see you cry
He torments you this way;

Maybe a sacrifice or two,
will Love demand of you,
before He'll even listen to
your prayers of anger blue;

Oh maybe you don't go so far,
but think He'll seek revenge,
send you a sickness or the hives,
or ignore your pleas, pretend;

Pretending yes, but it is you
who plays this game torment
for Love He waits your answer
to his Joy of Grace beget;

Beget indeed, the answer,
let's melt into His Love
where not a thought will answer,
our mind silenced above;

For in the Presence of His Grace
no words will thus be said,
for light will come, replace,
the separate "me" instead.

Renunciation

Does Heaven welcome paupers,
or rich folk such as me?
Must I give up all that I love
so that I can be free?

This question brings up fear in you
-you know well what I said:
"that Spirit would do nothing
to increase your fear and dread;"

I told you that you'd give up
illusion --no thing real,
so when you do, it won't be hard
you'll smile -it's one good deal !

But while you think illusion,
is real to you indeed,
It will be hard to give it up,
--this world of love and greed;

Yet All is Me united,
and You're there too with Me,
and nothing else exists outside
it's all a part of Me;

you'll give up the unreal in you,
--Imagination Space,
where you get lost in fantasy,
into stories where you chase;

Chasing for more, to fill each hole
with what you think is gold
you try to fill each lack perceived,
with all except your soul;

To chase a lack, when you have All
is but illusion son,
just recognize that We are One
and lack exists for none;

To think that you are separate
is the first lack conceived,
because I am just everything
you too are Love received;

A hierarchy of lacks has come
to hide this truth from you
a game the mind has planted
so you`d think now what`s not true;

So think again an instant
a miracle has come
and let the Love of Heaven shine
on you who are My Son.

------------------

If one knew that the world did not exist except in the mind, they would live in a way that resembles renunciation, for what here would matter? What would there be to give up?

Chains of Thought

Change is all around us,
though blind we seem to be,
holding on to past instead,
we try to chain what's free;

with mind we take the moment,
or some selected part,
to claim it as "our thought"
some thing we set apart;

then we bury it in memory,
so we can then employ,
it to embellish our claim,
expand "our story" boy;

but what if thoughts were error,
-imagination, -mine,
created so that i'd be blind,
so i'd not see my crime;

and what if thinking keeps me
in chains here on the earth,
where others like me scurry,
searching always their worth;

for what has thinking brought me?
-more what I wanted not,
more bodies, and more problems,
more feverish thoughts to wrought;

leaving wholeness for projection,
-imagination, -mine,
my crime as well imagined,
so to keep me here, resigned.

selah {read slower}
"Knowing" is not "thinking",
they're blind, who think, confuse,
their thoughts for what is real here now,
like those who've drank much booze;

but try to stop this thinking,
and you will soon admit,
that thoughts just happen in the mind,
without your help to whit;

so claim them not as "your's",
just watch them, how they play
and you will see a story
they try to make you say;

but stories are but stories,
they're fun, like some good wine,
but end in nothing, as they are
imagined in the mind.
