What are the things in the Indian daily soaps and serials that you hate the most?
Indian soaps think they are a reflection of the society. However they fail to be one in all aspects. The lead is by default a woman. If men rule cinema, women rule television.Illicit relationships - There's ALWAYS another woman prying on the lead’s husband. God. It's so tiring. I am sure, once married, most women (men too) never try to separate a couple. Instead, they get married to someone else and enjoy their lives.The lead character is always in trouble - Everyone wants to bring sorrow to the lead character. It's their full time job to plot against the lead woman and make her cry. They don't have a life of their own.The characters never age - They are always as fresh and young as they were when they were a teenager. Right from the great grandmother to her youngest grandchild, everyone looks of the same age.The couple during their wedding.The couple with their grown up children now.Weapons like guns are so accessible - Right from the lead to the villian everyone is given an easy access to bombs, guns and everything that is used to kill people. Sigh.Plastic surgeries are a common thing - Someone died? No worries, they ll come back in a few episodes as a completely changed person because of the plastic surgery. Right from skin tone, height, weight and even the voice is different. Haven't met one person who changed so much after a plastic surgery.Polygamy is completely acceptable - In most the soaps, the hero is married at least twice. And worse, his wife(the lead) is the one who arranges the wedding due to various reasons. A divorce isn't needed. All you need is love from your wives.You never know what they are do for a living - Almost all families live in palaces. At least 10 rooms. They are dressed heavily all the time. But you never know what work they do. Mostly it's the term “business” that is used to cover up. Someone please teach me the tricks of that “business”.Sigh.
What does Macbeth mean when he says "night's black agents to their preys do rouse."?
Literally, he's talking about creatures such as animals. The whole quote is: "Light thickens; and the crow Makes wing to the rooky wood: Good things of day begin to droop and drowse; While night's black agents to their preys do rouse." The "good things of the day" are diurnal animals (animals that are awake during the day and sleep at night). While the "agents" of night are nocturnal animals that, as night falls, begin to awaken and stalk their prey. An example would be an owl, since owls hunt at night. Of course, he is not just talking about animals. There are other things that come out at night to kill as MacBeth and his lady know very well.
