Morphological approach of Folklore to the movie “The Promise”
The film called The Promise was released in 2007 by GMA Films and Regal Entertainment. The main characters are played by popular actors in Philippines: Richard Gutierrez as Daniel, Angel Locsin as Andrea, Rhian Ramos as Monique, TJ Trinidad as Anton, Ryan Eigenmann as Jason, and many more. The director is Mike Tuviera and the screenwriter is Racquel Villavicencio. Accordingly, this film is more faithful to the original novel than Hihintayin kita sa Langit by Carlos-Siguion-Reyna (another Filipino film loosely based on Wuthering Heights of Emile Bronte). I have enumerated the 31 morphology of folklore by Vladimir Propp with respect to the analysis of the movie. 1. Absentation
Andrea finds a dirty boy who had lost home hiding out in their truck. Her father pities the boy and takes him in on as his own.

One day, Andrea’s parents have news that they are moving into the hacienda behind the De Vera mansion and Jason, disappointed that he would not actually be living in the big house, runs away swearing that one day he will get rid of Daniel for good.

2. Interdiction
Andrea knows that if Anton would find out that she sneaks out to meet Daniel, she would be punished again by Anton’s temper. But she didn’t hinder herself from doing so, and she still pursues to go out to the lighthouse when Anton had fallen asleep to meet Daniel and makes love with him.

Despite her heart telling the contrary, Andrea looks sadly up at Daniel and says yes to Anton’s marriage proposal.

3. Violation of Interdiction
When Andrea comes home from the lighthouse, she is shocked to see that Anton has awakened and that he learns where she has been and with whom. He’s starting to confront her and beats her up.

Anton asks Andrea to marry him and before she could answer, Daniel had already fled from the party. Andrea searches

    The father begins spending less and less time at home, resulting in Dave getting even more beatings from his mother because she is blaming him for the issues in her marriage. That summer the family goes on a vacation and it seems as if Dave and his mother are getting along better until one day he is playing with his brothers and she scolds him for being too loud and is not allowed to go with them to the slide. Dave's mother punishes him even further by taking a dirty diaper and smearing it in his face, trying to get him to eat it. When he refuses she hits him and then the abuse stops long enough for her to tend to the baby and then she rubs another dirty diaper into Dave's face and tells him again to eat it. Just in time, the family returns and the abuse stops with his mother throwing a washcloth at him to clean himself up and then forces him to sit in the corner for the remainder of the night. The next chapter has Dave's father coming home even less, but when he does he helps Dave to wash the dishes.

    Summary Of Nella Larsen's Passing

    Her daughter, Margery, is the only thing holding her back from doing so. In the meantime, Brian and Clare’s relationship continues to develop. But as this happens Irene starts to realize that if Clare were free of Mr. John Bellew, she might pursue Brian. What “if he divorced her--if Claire were free--?” (187). This thought terrifies Irene to her core, slightly in part because she might lose Brian to Claire, but more importantly she would lose her valued security. This was not going to work. Irene could not allow this to happen. She must defend her security at any cost. Then Irene thought “If Clare should die! Then-Oh, it was vile! But the thought stayed with her. She could not get rid of it “(187). This confirms Irene’s secret desire to have Clare dead. Although Irene despises the thought, her own security is more important than Clare’s life. It is not clear what happened at the window, but from Irene’s reaction, it is safe to conclude that Clare did not fall on her own. “Irene was not sorry” (210). It would seem that Irene is responsible for Clare’s…

    Andrea Burks As Faith Carter Character Analysis

    Okay, let's get the "elephant in the room" out of the way first thing. As all Hearties have seemingly been dreading, Nurse Faith returns to the show in this episode. Yes, Andrea comes back to reprise her role, and she is as radiant and sweet as she was in the role last season. Jack is inadvertently the one who "welcomes" her to Hope Valley, and for both of them, it is one awkward meeting. That is, until she announces that she is engaged. Okay, Hearties, you can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief. If anything, she is a threat to Rosemary, but not romantically speaking (you will understand that later). Andrea has the ideal look for a polished, fresh, young nurse, but as far as I'm concerned,…

    Book Review: The Assault

    When Anton met Takes for the first time, he was forced to recall the events that happened on that eventful day in Haarlem. Takes was the man who shot and killed Fake Ploeg. Even though Anton was much older, he was taken back to the night of the assault. When he went back to Haarlem, he saw his neighbors who had witnessed the burning of Anton's house down. Both of these events contributed to Anton divorcing his first wife, Saskia and having panic attacks. Although they remained closed friends, it is believed that they divorced because of his inability to let go of the past. At the end of the book; however, Anton finally let go. “He has lived through the War, as they say, one of the last perhaps, to remember He has joined it against his will, this demonstration, and there’s an ironical look in his eye, as if he found the situation amusing.” (pg…

    His two older brothers, Eugene and León, go in, but Andrew does not. Antonio begs Andrew to not enter, and he responds, “I will make a deal with you little brother, I will wait and not enter until you lose your innocence” (71). For the first time in this novel, Antonio discovers that innocence does not last forever, unlike what he previously thought. His brother, Andrew, represents Antonio’s innocence. According to the dream, Andrew will only be able to enter the brothel when Antonio’s innocence has been forsaken. When Narciso goes after Andrew, he goes to look for him at Rosie’s house, with Antonio secretly following him. He finds Andrew there, and Antonio remembers one of his previous dreams that claim he will lose his innocence when Andrew goes into the house. Antonio states, “And I remembered my dream. Andrew had said that he would not enter the house of the naked women until I had lost my innocence” (165). This is when Antonio knows that the inevitable has happened, that he has lost his innocence. In his head he starts to list all of the things that he had witnessed that may have altered his views, without him even realizing it. While…
