Prying Into The Heart Of Drama

Why ‘prying’? Some people may want to ask me. From what I know in the Oxford Dictionary, the word ‘pry’ means “inquire too curiously or rudely about other people’s private affairs”. Yes, those people who look into my journals in this blog are considered as prying into my private affairs! However, I can’t deny the fact that there are no secrets in this blog. As Dr. M.Edwin says, this is e-journal, a public journal that everybody can access to it easily and read whatever they like. Therefore, I can’t stop others from reading my journals. However, since this is my first time in doing e-journal, I will love to hear some comments if the readers feel they want to leave a few lines in my blog.

The heart is an important organ of our body. From it, we manifest various activities in our desires, affections, emotions, passions, purposes, thoughts, perceptions, imaginations, wisdom, knowledge, skill, beliefs, reasonings, memory and consciousness. Wow! So many things! Therefore, the heart represents the total inner personality. By reading literature especially drama, we are able to immense in the author’s or characters’ inner feelings. Drama, which speaks to the heart as much as to the mind, provides materials with some emotional colours that can make fuller contact with our own life. When we are able to pry into the heart of certain characters, we feel close to them and share their emotional responses. Of course we can’t speak to them personally, yet by asking questions ourselves while reading, we come to our own conclusions. It is interesting to read drama. I hope by the end of this semester, I will be able to build up my inner person and carefully mold my desires, affections, emotions and goals in life.
