Help[Opinions] Re: Hermione
in reply to a message by Bex
Wow - I've read through a few comments here & I realize that the Harry Potter series brought a much deeper influence on conventional thought than I previously knew. I saw the first few Harry Potter films--and enjoyed them but I eventually lost interest. I mention however that prior to Harry Potter, I thought or perhaps wondered whether the standard pronunciation of Hermione to be with a silent 'e'. Some letters simply won't remain silent! " "Listen to me!" ", ignoring all conventional pleas that we hush or gag them! (smile).
If this helps - there is another fictional "Hermione" in Shakespeare's "Winter's Tale" - her use of symbolic Language is nearly without parallel, and the depths of her real character are revealing and telling; and although I've never seen her - I know she is simply beautiful.
I posted names from this play a year or two prior: I love that a King's name is "Polixenes" and his son's name is "Florizel". Women throughout this play are the stronger, better, and for the most part - moral fighters--though gender does not necessarily equate with "protagonist" or "antagonist" in this play - but there is a great deal more to it.
