On March 4th, I would never forget the lesson taught that day. It probably caught everyone's attention, at least I think it did because it definitely got mine. Once my professor asked "Can someone tell me what Romanticism is?" one word came across my head, boring. But I was wrong, my definition of Romanticism was exactly like more than half the class, something having to do with romance. After Professor Candia explained the Movement, my mind woke up the rest of my body. From then on I realize that there is always more than black and white, there are many other meanings besides the one we already know.

Today's class was different from any other class we had so far, we were given an assignment about Greek Theater. This assignment required us to follow instruction in order to answer the questions in complete sentences. Not only was this new but long. Although it had its con point of view, I actually enjoyed because it gave me the opportunity to learn more about the history and origin of where did the first play began and how it was viewed from the audience's perspective.
Greek theater began in Athens during the fifth century BCE and there would be approximately 15,000 people gathering to watch a play. The most interesting fact was that each town would have a theater and we are talking about back in the days. Of course now we have multiple theaters in a city. On the other hand, all actors were men or boys, even the women role were played by men. How crazy was that? Finally, Greek play were outside in the open rather watching them inside.

During this class, I have enjoyed learning the true difference between comedy and tragedy. Comedy is likely to have no ending but remains happy and funny. One who thinks usually falls into comedy and one who feels usually falls into tragedy. Tragedy usually have one person which sacrifice himself for all integrity. In this case it leads to a soul of the story creating a tragic hero giving the story an ending. This so called tragic hero is a person high statue and is not guilty of advice but instead guilty of.
