Hey guys,
I have a formative task which asks "How does this extract from Cosi introduce us to important ideas?"
Here's the quote:
"Happy is the man who calmly takes life as he
finds it and through the vicissitudes of life lets himself be rules by reason
what makes another weep
will make him laugh
and despite the tempests of his life
he will find serenity and peace"
I am using the ideas of nature of mental illness, the power of theatre, and the importance of individuality. I would like to know what techniques I could use that correspond to this extract and other parts of the play. Any suggestions will be greatly apprecaited!
