Literary Analysis

What would it be like to have a nanny that has magical abilities? Well in the movie that I watched “Mary Poppins” by P.L. Travers Mary Poppins is able to snap her fingers and she’ll be in a cartoon drawing drew on the street by a chimney sweep. To me Mary Poppins the movie is a romantic mode of literature.

Mary Poppins is a romantic mode of literature to me and I can defend it. Some of the characteristics of a romantic mode of literature is the main character is in control and throughout the movie the main character Mary Poppins was able to control everything from hopping into pictures to winning a horse race with a merry go round horse. Also another characteristic is that the story is a Fantasy vision and for the kids it is. The met a man who when he laughed he rose in the air and they also got served by a team of penguins.

In the first paragraph I talked about the characteristics of Mary Poppins. In this paragraph I’ll tell you about how the story fit the plot line. In the romantic plot line it starts out with a minor conflict like when the kids cannot find a nanny. Then the next thing on the plot line would be life symbolism. In Mary Poppins that would be when the children find and hire Mary Poppins to be there nanny. Eventually the kids like Mary and their father sees that and he agrees on hiring Mary as the full time nanny.

Although the plot line is a major part of the analysis of the story there is another big part. Symbolism is that other big part, symbolism is understanding what you read and grouping it together. For example spring is symbolism for romance and in Mary Poppins it was around spring time. Also symbolism for a house in the romance mode of literature is luxurious and overly and the house that the banks lived in was very luxurious and very big so that would fit the symbolism.
Although I found different things in Mary Poppins than someone else could have. I still think that Mary Poppins is a romantic mode of literature. People might think it was a comedy because of the funniness but it is a romance. That is what I found out about the movie “Mary Poppins”.
