Fiddler on The Roof
"Fiddler on the Roof" was a movie all about traditions and breaking them. I agree with Nora when she said tradition is a very important thing. Some family traditions are fun, others we wish we didn't have. I didn't know people broke traditions that bad back in those days. Going from having your parents set up a man for you to wed to picking your own man and not even telling your parents you got married. Even today, if one got married without telling their parents that would be a big deal. It wouldn't be something that was accepted. So, it taking place back then, it must have been a big deal. Like everyone else, I couldn't imagine being married to a guy I didn't even know, a guy I didn'
I know that if I did that to my parents, they would be very upset with me, and maybe not approve of my marriage. She ran off and got married and didn't even tell her parents. I agree with Jenna when she said he was a kind man and decides it's okay for them to get married because it makes his daughter happy. The butcher was way older than her, and I don't think they would of made a good match. At first all she could say was things that she did for him, like take care of his kids and clean the house. How can you have a bond with a man you don't even know? I was very glad to see the eldest daughter got to marry a man she loved, and not the butcher. I think that is what is most important anyways. I understand why her father was so mad, being tradition was held so high in society back then. She just told her father she was going to get married, and asked him for a blessing, not for permission. This movie told me that you do have traditions, but over time they will fade away and be broken by someone. I guess that proves that you can grow to love someone over time, even if you didn't pick them for yourself. Her father at first was very upset, which is understandable. He was just lonely and wanted a woman. The second daughter broke tradition quite a bit.
