Going Out With Wit
Intro to Lit. Study--EL 150
Edson, Wit
What a way to end the semester. I think that I'm going to end up like Vivian in Wit, a stickler to the end. Is this what Jerz think of as a perfect English major? The fact that Vivian knew about the wonderful sonnets of John Donne (Funny, that she picked "Death Be Not Proud to evaluate) and used it to confort her in a time of need shows that she needs to be in control at all times. Vivian creeps closer to death and closer to the realization that she is not prepare for one of the basic events of life...death. I don't think that she was ever ready to go to that wonderful classroom in the sky.
Did she think that she is still needed here on Earth?
Maybe she was an esteemed professor (Jason talks about the teaching style of Vivian)
Is she afraid of what is on the other side?
At the end of the play she is conforted by an unseen force...May be God...her own conscience...who knows. But Vivian is very uncomfortable about dying, but it isn't noticable until she breaks down with E.M.
Does the English major community have something to look at in Vivian?
Absolutely, stickler to the end remember. I think in the vast world of our literary/grammatical/writing careers, we can look at several author that can confort us through hard times (Maybe some poetry... like Sylvia Plath) and maybe something for excitement ( King all the way!). Nevertheless, what seperates us for all other majors is that we can be creative and informative at the same time.
Wit could be the life and death of an English Major ( at least for me, since I striving, hoping, and praying to teach at the university level). This may have been the reason why this was assigned last.
