THE PRELUDE

BY: DARYLL DELGADO

 

                                 The story, PRELUDE, is written by Daryll Delgado. I find it interesting because the scenarios were inverted or reverse which you need to find out what goes first. The author of the story uses foreshadowing and flashbacks so that readers would be confused therefore it will encourage us to read the story.

                                 My first impression of this story is just normal or the usual feeling because I thought at first that this story is just another uninteresting story but when you try to read the whole story, you tend to think that there is a plot twist going on and a tragic ending. The story has a tragic ending because the wife murdered her husband silently by using the materials of the herbalist friend. At first, I’m really clueless but when I read it three times I figured out the real scenario and the plot twist of the story. I arranged the plot where I would really know what happened in the story where it uses techniques like foreshadowing and flashback.

                                Nenita’s husband cheated on her. Nenita’s husband always cheated on her yet she didn’t mind at first but when she was quick-tempered with her husband already, she immediately killed her husband quietly. Her husband chooses the decision to cheat his wife that is why the consequence of the husband had a tragic death.

                                  The message of the story is you should not cheat on each other, marriage is sacred because it is written in the divine law and you are committed with your desired partner where God is part of each other’s relationship. If you cheated your partner you could commit sin to your wife and to God and you will stay in hell for the rest of your eternal life. We should not do this because we already choose among the choices, it depends on how you would stay happy with a partner or not. In life you should be careful who the people go and come to your life because maybe they are the ones who could help you or maybe they are the ones who could hurt you and destroy your life.

PS.

In the poster above, I put some symbols. 

• First one is that the unbalanced scale means injustice and gender inequality because the husband is taking advantage of Nenita by commanding her to do this and do that yet Nenita just follows orders even if her husband cheated on her a couple of times.
• The second one is the skull, which represents poison and death.
• And the last one is the shadow of a devil behind Nenita, because Nenita killed her husband.
