1. why the woods? what do they represent? what other stories take place in the woods?
in the woods, anything can happen. they are dark and mysterious. Danger lurks around every corner. They represent mystery && Little Red Riding Hood takes place in the woods, so does parts of Shrek.
2. some of the charaters in into the woods are driven by uncontrollable, characters fit this desc.? what kinds of desires drive them? what happens as a result as a failure of desires?
Jack is driven by uncontrollable desires and so is the baker. Jack is driven by greed — of wanting gold from the giants. the baker wants a child for his wife. Jack’s failure is when the giant comes down and attacks the stage and the baker and his wife get in a fight, and she ends up dying (not his fault, though) and he leaves his kid behind, but ends up coming back for him. The witch wants to be beautiful, and as a result loses her powers.
3. what was fav song, character and scene of into the woods? describe in detail & why?
favorite song was agony by the two princes. They sing about agony of not being able to find the ones they want to (princesses). I liked this song because i thought it was funny and it was a good song. my favorite character was Little Red Riding Hood, she was hilarious. She reminded me of myself because i’m just a pessimest sometimes, and i just state really weird things like “you can talk to birds?” and i’d be like wtf. who can talk to birds?!
my favorite scene was probably when Little Red Riding Hood and the grandmother came out of the wolf after being “eaten” because it kinda did look real, even though we all know they knealed beside the bed and waited for the wolf to make horrible noises. .
4. the closing songs of into the woods are, no one is alone & children will listen, what is significance of songs when transfered to second half of watership. draw parallels to into the woods & watership.
No one is alone goes along with watership down because of the fact that in the end, none of them are alone, none of them were left behind & they all waited for each other. Children will listen is when everyone listened to Friver and Hazel, so they wouldn’t get left behind. The woods and watership down are similar because they are all going on a journey and they all are afraid when they start that journey, but they realize that in the end, they’re all together, going after one thing, so they fight together and accomplish their goal. They all live safe and sound (well, minus a select few from Into the Woods, but they just got killed by a giant. gotta watch out for them!)
