Ch.21 A Revolution Begins, and the Great War Ends

The Russian Revolution

- Now Lenin and the Bolsheviks were in charge. Lenin suggested renaming the Bolsheviks the ˝Communist Party‘-the party working for the common good. The communists believed that Christianity was false and wrong, so they changed the names of the cities in Russia that were named after Christian saints. St. Perersburg became Leningrad˝ And right away, Lenin and the communists signed a peace treaty with Germany.
- This new way of living, ˝communism,˝ was supposed to make sure that the government, instead of a small group of powerful people, had control over Russia. But who was in the government? That‘s right- a small group of powerful people, Lenin and his followers!


The End of World War I

- The new strength of the American soldiers, joining with the Allied forces that had fought for four long, weary years, finally tipped the balance of the war against the Central Powers. On November 11th, 1918, Germany was forced to surrender. The power of the Second Reich was broken. All over the world, exhausted soldiers heard the great news: An armistice (an end to fighting) had been declared.
- In 1918, Great Britain passed a new law called the Reform Act. Because women had worked so hard to help win the war, every woman over the age of thirty could vote. (In 1928, Britain changed the law so that women twenty-one and older could vote, too.)
- For women in America to vote, an amendment to the Constitution had to be passed. In 1918, Congress agreed to begin the process of changing the Constitution so that women could gain suffrage.

The Mexican Revolution

- the president of Mexico, Porfirio Diaz, over 20 years dictatorship
- For the next thirty years, civil war, assassinations, struggle and rebellion continued in Mexico. The Mexican Revolution had gotten rid of a tyrannical president-but it had not brought peace to Mexico.


World War I

- On June 28th, 1914, a nineteen-year-old Serbian assassin named Gavrilo Princip shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne.
- The truth was that most of the countries of Europe were ready to fight anyway. For decades, they had been arguing with each other about their borders, the size of their armies, and who got to control which colonies in Asia and Africa. Even though the bullet that killed the Archduke was often described as ˝the bullet that started World War I, the Archduke‘s assassination didn‘t really cause World War I.
- On August 4th, 1914, Great Britain declared war on Ger-many. The war had truly begun.
- Before long, most of Europe was in on the fight. On one side were the ˝Central Powers˝ the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria, and Germany, soon joined by the Ottoman Turks. On the other side were the ˝Allied Forces˝-Great Britain, France, Russia, China, Greece, Japan, Serbia, and a collection of other countries (including Belgium, which wasn‘t neutral any more).
- On April 6th, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany. Now American soldiers would join the British, Canadian, and French soldiers, along with the soldiers of a dozen other nations, in fighting against Germany and its allies.

[오늘의 한문장] 2023 제14회 젊은작가상 수상작품집

그 두 개가 하나로 이어져 있다는 것을 알기 위해 글을 씁니다. 완벽하게 끌려갈 수밖에 없는 꿈의 힘을 날마다 체험합니다. 지독한 잠꼬대 끝에 젖은 얼굴로 깨어나면 죽음의 얼굴을 마주하고 돌아온 기분입니다. 그러던 어느 새벽, 저는 알았습니다. 나쁜 꿈이 저를 살리고 있었다는 것을요. 더러운 물이 모이는 제일 낮은자리의 수챗구멍처럼 꿈은 저를 위해 온갖 두려움과 슬픔을 자신의 통로로 받아들이고 있었습니다. 꿈에서 죽고 나면 저는 다시 태어났고, 꿈에서 슬퍼하면 현실에서 울지 못했던 울음을 마음껏 풀어놓을 수 있었습니다. 비록 악몽이었지만 그 꿈의 숨은 뜻은 이해와 보호였습니다. 반으로 선택되는 역설의 죽음이다.

[오셀로] 다 씹어먹는 이야고

다 씹어 먹는 이야고

무대를 찢어 놓는 이야고

이야고의, 이야고에 의한, 이야고를 위한 무대였다.

무대나 의상을 현대적으로 해석한,

마치 갱스터 무비나 느와르 무비를 보는 것 같은 느낌.

오셀로는 감정적으로 미숙한 조폭 두목,

이야고는 조폭 영화 어디에나 나오는 간교하고 촐싹대고 지능적인 조폭 핵심 졸개.

첫 주 공연이라 배우들의 대사 버퍼링이나 어색함이 좀 있었다^^.

괜히 프리뷰 할인 30%가 있는 게 아니라는.

오셀로의 박호산 배우도 대사를 좀 씹으셨고(그래도 목소리 멋짐!),

데스데모나의 이설 배우는 1부에서는 발성이나 동작이 극에 스며들지 못하는 느낌이었는데,

2부에서는 좀 안정된 것 같았다.

좀 더 실전에 익숙해지면 훨씬 멋진 공연이 될 거라 기대된다.

공연 1주 전인가 러닝타임이 140분에서 170분으로 연장된다고 문자가 왔지만,

공연이 전혀 지루하지는 않았다.

이 또한 이야고, 손상규 배우의 힘!

공연 며칠 전 이자람 배우가 코로나 확진으로 황선화 배우로 대체되었다는 슬픈 소식이...

그래서 프로그램북도 급하게 간지로 대체;;;

이자람 배우의 연기를 못 봐서 너무 아쉽다.
