Cultural Context - Comparative Study, Sive and Children of...

Cultural Context – Part B To study the cultural context of â€Å"Sive† and â€Å"Children of Men† means to examine the world of each and the values and attitude of the people in these worlds. The worlds created in â€Å"Sive† and â€Å"Children of Men† are very distinct but also have many parallels. Both texts explore the concepts of family, love, fear and control. The setting of each text was paramount in informing me about the attitudes and values of that time. Each text depicts an oppressive and controlled society. â€Å"Children of Men† is set in the year 2027, in the future, which contrasts to â€Å"Sive† which is set in the 1950’s, in the past. â€Å"Children of Men† is set in urban London in the future. On the contrary â€Å"Sive† is set in 1950’s Ireland in a very†¦show more content†¦Similarly in â€Å"Sive†, Sive is a young girl growing up in 1950’s Ireland. There is nothing special about Sive. Both protagonists receive motivation to stand up for what they believe in. In â€Å"children of Men†, Theo needs to be bribed at first before he gets motivated. However after he is bribed Theo learns something which gives him hope and drives him on. Kee the lady he is protecting is pregnant with the first baby in 18 years, â€Å"your baby is the miracle the world has been waiting for†. This displays Theo’s newfound hope; it is this hope that gives him purpose. Similarly Sive also receives a reason to hope which also gives her purpose. Liam Scuab and Sive fall in love. After being matched with Sean Dota it is her love for Liam Scuab that drives her to rebel against the match. â€Å"Sive, I love you† are the words that give Sive purpose to rebel against society. Both Alfonso Cuaron and John B. Keane have created situations for the protagonists where they are forced to rebel in order to get what they believe in. Both texts explore the ideas of love and marriage. In â€Å"Children of Men† Theo was married to Julian and they had a son called Dylan. However baby Dylan died and their grief drove them apart and destroyed their family. In contrast to this, in â€Å"Sive† Sive and Liam are only beginning their relationship and face many problems together. In â€Å"Children of Men† Julian and Theo were allowed to choose each other.
