Historias de amor de la historia argentina-Lucía Gálvez.-

Hoy conoceremos la historia de amor de Mariquita Sánchez y Martín Thompson.




Antiguamente, se querían evitar los matrimonios desiguales en fortuna o condición social.





El amor no era considerado un requisito indispensable para la unión conyugal.





Por ejemplo, el padre-generalmente apoyado por el poder civil-quería impedir matrimonios desiguales en fortuna o raza.




Se fomentaban estudios y prácticas de artes y oficios, ejemplo, ayudando a los agricultores.





Pongamos atención en la historia de Mariquita Sánchez, nacida en 1786.






Era una andaluza acriollada de rostro suave, con rulos castaños oscuro y ojos negros.



A los 14 años, le presentaron a un sobrio de su mujer.




Éste hombre era Diego de Arco, español y comerciante, mucho mayor que ella.




Su casa estaba situada en la calle San José y era uno de los más elegantes de Buenos Aires. Cabe resaltar que la familia también tenía otra casa en Recoleta.





La protagonista de ésta historia, había tenido un encuentro desde su infancia con su primo segundo Martín Thompson, nueve años mayor que ella.





El joven era muy atractivo y bastante romántico por cierto.







En ésta oportunidad Mariquita le escribe que querían casarla con otro, pero que ella siempre le sería fiel...





En 1805, Mariquita Sánchez en la Iglesia de la Merced daba le " sí" radiante a Martín Thompson.






Martín y Mariquita tuvieron años muy felices...las reuniones en lo de los Thompson eran muy concurridas.






Había tertulias dónde se escuchaba música mientras la conversación alternaba entre temas de actualidad y política en un ambiente culto y refinado.




Pero tiempo después, sucederá algo inesperado...




Mal alimentado y quizá deprimido, Martín Thompson no llegaría nunca a las costas de Buenos Aires.




Así en 1819 después de una sencilla ceremonia en alta mar, sus restos fueron alejados del agua.



Mariquita vivió muchos años más...




Finalmente le quedarían todavía seis años más para ir a reunirse en 1868 con el primer y gran amor de su vida....

Podríamos decir que se trata de una historia dramática y trágica.




La obra comienza con la llegada de un niño, quién es criado por el padre de la familia desde Liverpool.





Este pequeño transformará por completo la tranquila vida de su familia adoptiva así como la de sus vecinos.




La causa es una historia de amor y venganza, de odio y locura, de vida y de muerte.




Es Catherine quién acabará casándose con el hijo de los Linton, Edgar, magistrado de la región.




" Cumbres Borrascosas " es una novela romántica, una venganza que se prolonga hasta el final.





La obra presenta dos temáticas principales...amor y venganza.




El amor se presenta en los amores de Catherine.





Heathcliff es un huérfano que fue recogido desde Liverpool y fue llevado a Cumbres Borrascosas a vivir con él.





Es ahí cuándo se enamora de Catherine.




La obra se desarrolla en los pantanos de Inglaterra.




El tiempo ambiental es afectado en algunas partes de la narración.





Estas resaltan los sentimientos y emociones de los personajes quiénes los experimentan.





El final de la obra de Cumbres Borrascosas es ambiguo.






Hay una carta que el protagonista le escribe a Catherine...Transcribiré algunas partes de la misma...





" (...) esta noche he escuchado salir de tu boca las confesiones más amargas que jamás escucharé, las únicas que podrían hacer más miserable el resto de mi existencia y que me harán desear dejar mi alma e ir con Satanás "









Aquí termino esta especie de introducción y descripción de la novela que espero sea de tu agrado...

Future Prospects.-

From Ernest's point of view, the interview was going very well indeed.





Six days before, he had applied for a job with a small business company and now he was being interviewed by one of the directors.






The adverstisement had invited applications from ambitious Young men who would be willing to travel abroad at short  notice if necessary and who would not mind working irregular hours.





Ernest had taken great Paint not to say anything silly and the director seemed to be most impresed.






"You say, you are not married Mr Reeves", the director said.







"No, Sir" Ernest answered " I'm getting married next June, but I' m sure my future wife won´t have any objection to my keeping irregular hours"






"I see from your application form you have worked as a salesman for two years. Why do you wish to change your job now?"





"I found the work too dull, sir" Ernest answered.





" That´s a refreshing change" the director said. " Most young men these das seem to want dull Jobs.







The first question Young men ask me is whether the job I'm offering carries a pension.





They want to retire before they start!





Does the job cary a pension, sir?" Ernest asked anxiously.

Well worth the money.-

While walking through the park, we stopped by the pond to watch some children who were sailing model boats.







There were so many boats in the pond that morning that quite a few people had gathered on the Banks  to see them.






Suddenly, someone shouted, There is a man in the pond!





We looked up and sure enough, a man's head could just be seen on the other side of the pond.






The man appeared to be swimmming vigorously and was coming straight towards us.





'He must be crazy' a Young man said 'I wouldn't dive into that pond for a fortune. And anyway it must be freezing cold'




The brackish water of the pond was certainly not inviting.




As it was still early March, the water must certainly have been very cold.





After a short time, the man approached the bank. The water was very shallow, so he walked the last few yards.





We were astonished to see that he was fully dressed.





Nice swim?  the Young man asked.



Nice swim my foot !!! the man remarked irritably. 'It is freezing. I did it for a bet !

A Spanish Holiday.-

When Alec returned to work last Monday, Bob asked him how he had spent his holiday.






You went to Spain, did not you ? Bob asked.





That is right-Alec answered. Three weeks in the sun now.




I have got a year work ahead of me. Still, I must say I enyojed myself.






I went swimming every day and I even saw a bullfight.





Did you? -Bob said-How was it ?





Very funny, really-Alec answered.






I have never thought of a bullfight as being funny-Bob remarked.






Well, this one was-Alec replied. The bullfighter was a showman. He arrived at the ring in a helicopter.






The helicopter circled round the ring a few times and then the bullfighter landed by parachute.






He landed almost in the middle of the ring just a few yards away from the bull. He was dressed in a splendid costume.







That must have been very impressive-Bob said.





I suppose it was-Alec answered. The trouble was thet the poor man did not know much about bullfighting. The bull went after him before he even managed to get his parachute off. He spent most of his time in the air.!
