| Many young people have a romantic vision of war until they are faced with the brutal reality of it. Which is one reason that a song like "Momma Look Sharp" can be so devastating. First, with all the bickering that Congress is doing over even getting a vote on independence, it's a sobering moment when the courier reminds us that young soldiers are dying out there. AND, the fact that he's so young as well makes it even more affecting. I think that with "Take Me To The Fair," Guenevere isn't really thinking about the consequences of her thoughts. It's still fantasy, and I think the idea of Lancelot actually getting killed in a joust is not real/final to her. But as I said, I think witnessing the almost death of Lionel may change her views on all that. It's like the difference between watching a violent war movie (you know the actors aren't really getting killed) and actually being in the middle of that war. |
