Geeky Valentines (From My Comp. Lit Thesis)

Published by: naomi on 15th Feb 2012 | View all blogs by naomi
I'm not a fan of today's occasion but I'd write something about it anyway. I'm calling it a geeky one because of my effort to relate it to my bachelor's thesis, which is Literature. I learned how to criticize and review a particular character from a story because of years of reading and writing about them. I also feel like writing something similar every so often. So now, I'm giving you my top 3 characters whom I think would be perfect companions. They are from the books I've read and wrote a review so far. In no particular order:

Noah Calhoun - Whoever did not fall in love with Noah of The Notebook? Aside from the fact that we can't help think of Noah as the artist who played his character, women would like to meet someone as passionate and dedicated as he is.

Jay Gatsby - If I'm not mistaken, I think half of one semester during my third year in college was spent reading and writing about this particular scholastic work by Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby. I think I did swoon while writing a synthesis paper one time.

Tristan - he is the Celtic version of Shakespeare's Romeo who fell in love with someone he cannot fall in love with. Just like any other romantic love stories in the olden times, Tristan and Isolde, was originally tragic, but it was retold in several ways - merry, tragic, brooding and in different styles. Tristan was such a knight, strong, dignified, and absolutely handsome.

I would say that my imagination has been enriched by reading books and writing about them on a regular basis. Four years in the Department of Arts and Letters in college can do that.
