My critical analysis "THE SUN AND THE MOON"

Image
The story of Tuglay and Tuglibung as a couple in the Bagobo version of the Sun and the Moon myth is a unique interpretation of the popular myth. In this version, Tuglay represents the Sun while Tuglibung represents the Moon. The story goes that Tuglay and Tuglibung were originally a couple who lived in the sky, but they were separated when Tuglibung descended to earth. One possible interpretation of this version of the myth is that it represents the separation between the earthly and heavenly realms. Tuglibung's descent to earth can be seen as a representation of the fall from grace or the loss of purity that is often associated with human existence. The fact that Tuglay remains in the sky suggests that there is a clear distinction between the heavenly and earthly realms, and that humans are not capable of fully merging with the divine. Another possible interpretation of the Tuglay and Tuglibung version of the myth is that it represents the power of love to overcome obs...

 “Tell me the story about how the sun loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breathe.”There once was a moon, as beautiful as can be, only the stars could fathom, but the sun could not see. The sun so radiant, he burns so bright. The moon so luminous, but only showed her face during the night. She was untouchable, surrounding herself with a blanket of darkness. The sun would give anything to catch a glimpse of the Moon illuminating the beautiful night sky.Until one day when the Sun was sliding out of the heavens, he caught a glimpse of her. She was peeking up, a rare side of her being exposed to the light. And while the Sun could shine, he knew the Moon could glow.Just as the Stars were wandering into the night, the Sun fell in love like a snowball hurdling down a mountain. How he wished to see her move than the fleeting moments he shared with her at both dawn and dusk. But they were a world apart.“Go,” she whispered to him one of those nights, her voice a...

My literary close analysis about Bagobo pride "The Sun and the Moon"

Image
Tuglay and Tuglibung, or the Sun and the Moon, as a romantic couple can be seen as a projection of Western notions of love and partnership onto a culture where those concepts may not have been present. However, from a different perspective, it is possible to analyze the relationship between the Sun and the Moon in the Tuglay and Tuglibung story as a metaphorical representation of balance and harmony in the natural world. In the Bagobo culture, balance and harmony are highly valued, and the relationship between the Sun and the Moon in the Tuglay and Tuglibung story reflects this value. The Sun and the Moon are portrayed as complementary forces that work together to create the cycle of day and night, and the phases of the Moon. The Sun represents the active, masculine, and life-giving force, while the Moon represents the passive, feminine, and reflective force. Together, they create balance and harmony in the natural world. Additionally, the relationship between the Sun and t...
