Explain how Educating Rita and one other text of your own choosing portray the consequences of moving into the world.
Introduction
The consequences of moving into the world are shown through the differences in characters lives before and after their transition. Some authors believe that moving “Into the World” is an inherently positive thing, while others believe there are positive and negative consequences attached. In Willy Russell’s two handed play “Educating Rita”, Willy Russell explores the consequences of growth, entrapment and education as a means of change as Rita must face a change in knowledge, attitude and beliefs towards society. Rita’s change of moving into the world is linked to Miroslav’s Holubs poem “The Door.”The poem expresses the consequences of moving forward as a positive force, opportunities only existing through moving. Both texts use language techniques to portray their protagonist’s purpose through metaphor, first person narrative, tone, repetition and colloquial language.
The relationships we make help us move forward, and forging new friendships help heal the wounds of those that are now broken. Relationships are central to Russell’s play and where Rita notes, “I love this room. I love this window” the short sentence with repetition of ‘love’ highlights her desire to move into a new world. The window becomes a metaphor, where for both Frank and Rita, it is an opportunity for change. Frank’s continued warmth spurs on Rita’s confidence and noticed when she says “I-I care for you, Frank…But now you’ve got to-to leave me alone a bit”, the ellipsis, paired with the repetition highlights Rita’s hesitation in forging still further ahead into the world and beyond the relationship that got her to this stage. Through Examples within Educating Rita, Russell has portrayed that relationship is one of the main motions to transfer to another world. This opportunity of change of moving “Into the world” is shown as a negative consequence as Rita doesn’t want to go through a transformation from the relationship.
The poem "The Door" demonstrates to us that change in self involves taking chances and the positive consequences of change. Holub expresses change as an individual's commitment to embrace new opportunities presented to them, leading to a new perspective of life. The door, being the central metaphor of the poem, represents a barrier, which holds us back from instigating a change. It is a gateway to new opportunities if the individual decides to take the initiative. The poet uses repetition of the phrase "go and open the door" as the opening line of each stanza to create a emphatic tone that implores the reader to take a chance, to leave their comfort zone and take on the outside world. The italic word "maybe" shows the uncertainty and unpredictability of the consequences after the person had gone and opened the door. "A tree, or a wood, a garden, or a magic city", these images open our minds to change and start to make us think to ourselves about what is really out there in this "magic city" of ours.
In Educating Rita In Act One: Scene 1, Frank is seen to be fairly absorbed in finding his hidden stash of alcohol where “Jubilantly he moves to the Dickens section and pulls out a pile of books to reveal a bottle of whisky”. This is followed by a startling and awkward meeting with Rita. This can be expressed as a metaphor where the alcohol is his real life being hidden from other people. Whereas in Act Two: Scene 1, he is no longer as engrossed in his alcoholic habits where he is actually seen to be “Sitting at his desk typing poetry” and smiles when he is greeted by an ecstatic Rita. His change in customs and difference in attitude towards a person that originated from a class much lower than his embodies a change in perception and marks a significant consequence of Rita’s journey in moving into the world. This also expresses a positive consequence for Frank as Rita has transformed Frank “Into the World” by reducing drinking.
In the poem, the door is a metaphor of difficulties, obstacles and opportunities. This is similar to Frank’s door to his office. That door had provided Rita with difficulties with her family (especially Denny), obstacles to overcome such as Frank’s dinner party. Most of all, the door has provided her the opportunity to go “Into the world” as an educated women.Miroslav Holub uses simple but commanding words in his text like “Go and open” to encourage the individual. “Go” suggests the need for motivation and action, to create the momentum to overcome problems and chances to find a new world on the other side of the door. This is seen in Rita where her desire to change provides momentum to overcome criticisms from her own community. By opening the door, it will provide us with further opportunities and difficulties, just as Rita found herself with the choice. The quote from the play, “I’ll make a decision, I’ll choose” uses the language technique of first person narrative to express her choice of transition “Into the World”.” The Door” is a very powerful poem because it conveys a powerful message using simple expressions. It ensures us the going “Into the world” is always better than staying behind, the author writes, “At least there’ll be a draught”, this expresses that its always better to step forward into the world then step back. This imposes a positive consequence through both texts. The message conveyed through both of the author’s language techniques is clear. So go forth and open that door. “Go and open the door” and go into the world where your choice governs your future. Both the poet and Rita strongly agree that by going through the door, you will be provided with opportunities.
The modern world is divided along many lines but one common to both texts is that of social class. In Russell’s play, culture is expressed as Rita gradually shifts from a lower socio-economic background towards the middle class. In the opening scene where she removes cigarettes and dumps the packet on the table, her gestures and brazen and inelegant. Later, when Frank offers her a cigarette, Rita notes: “No, ta. I’ve packed it in. Did y’drink?” Though her tone remains the same, her habits are changing and in response to a particular phrase in Act Two Scene 1, Rita asks: “Oeufs a la crecy? Does that mean eggs? Trish was goin’ on about those; is that all it is, eggs?” We realise that her lack of sophistication is balanced against her persistent interrogatives and want to know more. Interactions between social classes open both Rita’s eyes and that of Frank who was previously locked in his arcane world of academia. In “The Door” nature is perceived “Maybe outside there’s A tree, or a wood, A garden, or a magic city.”Go open the door” expresses that entering outside the world nature is represented as a positive transition into the real world.”Educating Rita” conveys culture through lifestyles and social class through relationships represented with Rita and Frank through characterization while “The Door” by Miroslav Holub shows nature is depicted in his text through seeing the outside world as a positive path to enlightenment and what value nature gives to humans in today’s society.
Conclusion
Some authors believe that moving “Into the World” is an inherently positive thing, while others believe there are positive and negative consequences attached.Willy Russell’s two handed play “Educating Rita” explores the consequences of growth, entrapment and education as Rita and Frank go through the transformation of moving into the world through characterization. Miroslav’s Holubs poem “The Door” represents a different world when you go and open the door going “Into the world” will provide opportunities. ”The Door” Experiences consequences of moving forward as a positive force, opportunities only existing through moving. Both texts use language techniques to portray their protagonist’s purpose through metaphor, first person narrative, tone, repetition and colloquial language.
