Marriage now a days is
changing from how it was even just ten years ago. People don’t like the legal
liability of being committed to one person forever. Some people like having
companionship but they don’t need a piece of paper to prove it. They’ll live
together but they don’t want to get married. Being gay is a lot more accepted
in today’s society, so people are being more honest instead of being embarrassed
and trying to hide it. Since people of the same gender can’t get married in
most of our country and all over the world for that matter, they’re not getting
married. So the institution of marriage today is different because people are
ok with not getting married. And If they do get married it’s not all rainbow
and everyone lives happily ever after. We can get divorced now, affairs, getting
married too young of for the wrong reasons.
There are a couple different
ways I could paint this story. Two gay people getting married and the in laws
don’t agree. A teenager gets pregnant and the parents of the kid think it’s
what they should do and rush into the marriage because it’s “what’s best for
the baby”. A husband cheats on his wife with his secretary at work. There are
too many ways to count!
Let’s go with the gay couple for the next question. I
don’t think it would be the same rather than just opposite of Hogarth’s. In his
painting it was an arranged marriage, but they want to get married but their
parents don’t want them to. Maybe the side of family that’s supporting them has
to pay for the wedding, but that would be the only thing that is similar.
