My Big Fat Greek Wedding Ashley Pinksy Azusa Pacific University GLBL 210 Global Studies C. Renaldo June 18, 2008 The film I watched on Sunday, June 17, 2008 is named My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Toula is 30 years old and is the main character. She lives with her parents, works in her family’s restaurant, and is single. Her father, Gus wants her to get married to a nice Greek boy, cook for her family, and have Greek babies because that is what Greek women are raised to do. However, Toula wanted more to life.
Rodriguez watches his family depart and notices the sorrow and worry felt by his aging mother. He watches her wave goodbye "toward no one in particular," and cannot understand the exact reasons for her sorrow. After speaking to his father for the first time all night, he realizes that they are sad because they are so quickly losing touch with their children. Never again will their Christmases be the way they once were in the past. Maybe he feels a sense of guilt for being selfish in his own desires to become wealthy and successful and wishes he had realized that his parents, the people he owes so much to, still need love and affection.
Mrs. Gibbs confides in Mrs. Webb that she will be obtaining $350 dollars from selling an antique piece of furniture and that she would love to spend the money to either send Dr. Gibbs on a vacation or use it for she and her husband to travel to Paris. She has always dreamed of going to Paris but knows that if Dr. Gibbs had his way he would only want to go and see the civil war sites, as they always spend their vacations. It is made clear in this scene that men make call the decisions when it comes to money, even if it is the woman’s money. Mrs. Gibbs never gets to see Paris; she leaves the money to her son in her will. Another scene that shows how men make all the financial decisions is when George Gibbs asks for a raise in his allowance and his father is the one who must permit this, even though he originally asked his mother.
I didn’t realize it until I saw the movie version of the play how big of an idiot he is. His character was meant to seem as if anyone could be a night watchman. The title in itself is ironic because Dogberry is just a drunken man who sleeps on his job. Nothing he says makes sense and he doesn’t even do his job correctly. You can tell that nobody takes them seriously, especially when Leonato shows no sign of gratefulness that he has captured two men by simply saying “go drink some wine” (Shakespeare 46) As we look into the theories of comedy for the play, it is clear that an option is Freud’s theory.

Puerto Rican American When I was thirteen years of age, my family and I boarded on a plane heading towards New York City. I was extremely upset about the move because I loved my school and was going to miss our house, and all of my friends in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. My mother seemed excited for my father’s interview and possible new job in the service industry at a restaurant that he got from his brother in law. My mother was also ecstatic to possibly start a career as well because she also said New York City is the city where dreams come true. My parents told me I had cousins in New York City and we were going to move in with them in Brooklyn.
