Of Grey's Anatomy and Wicked
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
3 weeks ago I was watching Grey's Anatomy - Season 8 Episode 14, and I had a thought.
After reading Wicked, this thought was reinforced.
In that Episode of Grey's:
1. A man gets run over by a car chasing after his girlfriend who stomped out of the house after being presented with yet another stupid necklace (in her words) for Valentine's Day. Apparently they had been together for something like 8 years, and she's DYING for him to propose. At the hospital, she was still ranting and screaming at the pretty mangled up bloke who managed to get a word in and said,"but you haven't even look at the necklace!" Of which she continued about him giving her stupid necklaces every year.
Fast forward, bloke dies. Lexie found the said necklace in his possessions. It was a heart-shaped locket. She opened it, the note inside reads,"Will you marry me?"
2. Valentine's Day Callie tries to surprise Arizona. Arizona HATES camping. Arizona's eyes covered, they walked through the woods with Arizona going on and on and on about camping. And she was crestfallen when Callie happily presented Derek's trailer out in the woods. Callie patiently shuts her up and ushered her in.
Inside the trailer was warm, candle lights and lingerie and all things romantic and sexy as Valentines Day gets.
3. Lexie on discovering the locket, questions herself and lost chances and decided to confess to Sloan. She rocks up at his place only to find her other ex, Avery, studying at Sloan's, thus thwarting her chances to speak to Sloan.
In Wicked:
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a simple fairytale. Good triumphs evil and the world is happy.
Wicked spins a tale in the background, that translates and blends into every event of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It questions what is good and what is evil. It puts to the reader that, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is but one view of the whole story.
Of these, my brain starts thinking about:
1. Jumping to conclusions
2. Do not judge a book by its cover
3. Seeing things from multiple angles
4. Lost chances
I am very guilty of No.1. I can so see myself doing the exact same thing as the girlfriend in Description 1 (not in terms of dying to get married) and Arizona in Description 2, jumping to conclusions and blasting the husband for something he did not do, or rather for something that I thought I knew better and just assume he did not or will not do or might possibly do that might potentially be not what I want.
And all the other 3 aspects are things I always knew, but always good to remind myself.
Yup, this is a BIG note to self :)
