Literature of Analysis

What would you do if you had a nanny that could fly or could clean your room in a snap? You would be really happy and think that she is weird for the first couple of days, but you would enjoy it and would find it fascinating. This is exactly what happens in the movie, “Mary Poppins.” In this movie by P.L Travers the romantic mode of literature can be seen in the plot line, characteristics, and symbolism.

In addition, the plot line for romance is a new beginning. That is when Mary Poppins came to be a nanny for the kids. Then I looked at the end of the plot line and it was life symbolism. The symbolism is that the nanny and kids were going to the park to fly a kite. They went to the park because Burt drew a picture with chalk. So they used their magic to go into the picture. Then the rain came down and washed away the chalk. Then they jumped back into reality.

Another example to prove romantic writing is characteristics. The main character can do no wrong. Marry Poppins was strong and evil was weak. The main character can do no wrong because Mary Poppins has magic. She can clean a room in a snap and declares that she is “practically perfect in every way”.

Another example is symbolism. In the spring morning when the sun rose, Burt played all of the instruments. And music is also a romantic symbol. The nanny cleaned up the rooms with her magic. And that she had to bring all of her things for the room in a bag. When you watch the movie it is like how do you fit that in your bag! Another example is the light blue sky. When Mr. Banks and his kids walked to the bank with the light blue sky. They were happy because they were going to the bank together.

Equally important are all the other events from the move that are from the romantic mode of literature. The entire movie pertained to the romantic mode of literature. In this movie by P.L Travers the romantic mode of literature can be seen by the symbolism, characteristics, and the plot line.
