My name is Hellen the voodoo hoodoo queen but my real name is barbarera and I am from britan, I am aged 21 a Witch of the year of 1798. I do not come from a wealthy family, but instead, I come from a poor family with little no money. I have sister who I haven't seen in years and a drunken farther. My farther wanted me to get married into a wealthy family, But I do not want that kind of life where I am sold like a herd of a sheep. My refusal cased my farther to disown me and banish me from britten. That was Five years ago. After being banished I found out I have the ability's no other human possieses, I am a witch and now is living in the city of New Orleans. I have found a new source of magic called dark magic and voodoo. The witches of New Orleans call me Hellen the voodoo hoodoo queen.
In drama for the past few week's we have been learning melodrama and what is it kind of style. Melodrama originated from Victorian times. Melodrama is very dramatic you can tell that it is very dramatic by looking at the way the actor uses there characters body language like when they fall down they don't just fall fast. Some fall gracefully like a feater well another fall with a big thump. My favorite fall out of all is the one that look's like your about to die and take your last breath. One other way of Melodrama be dramatically dramatic is the way people gasp or speak they speak loud with a huge open mouth like they are about to sing at the opera.
The way character is betrayed in Melodrama.
The villains In Melodrama seem to act loud and their inner thought's about there an evil plan become loud thoughts leading them to scream there plan to the audience. The villains are usually played by a male lead what is sexist in my opinion but sometimes Melodrama can be silent so they would you words.
The Hero's In Melodrama is almost like a prince in a fairytale they are always there to save the day by announcing it which to me is kind of dumb because if I would save someone from a villain I would call they cop's or keep my mouth shut so the villain could not here me. Once again the Hero is portrayed to be savvier who is a man and always delays the women to marry him for saving her.
The Victim In Melodrama is the person who needs saving from the villain and can't help themselves. The role of the Victim almost always goes to the girl. I mean it is great that Women finally get a role in Melodrama but the victim really! Women are perfectly capable of looking after there selfs or Killing a person and they can get away with it. They can save a person's life I mean have you seen a female doctor or cop because I have but this was victorian times I mean even in Victorian time's women are still smart and strong. I guess it was easier for people to not let women shine but instead make them look like hopeless fools. But people are Still making Women look hopeless in Melodrama what is really sad and make me angry I hope the change will come and maybe the woman can be a hero or villain at least make her save herself. At the end of the Melodrama, women have usually married away to the Hero in Melodrama.
