hermine0817 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Frankly, I don't really get your question... You have to write a comparative essay (which is one of the WorldLit I assume), but you need to search for the word disloyalty itself? What do you have to compare in your essay? Could you be more specific, please? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander_Loorde Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I have to compare examples of disloyality in this books: "cat in a hot tin roof" and "a doll's house". My language teacher told to search a concept of disloyality in psichology , and after that my essay is done. The disloyalities that I have found are between husbands (Maggie-Brick and Nora-Torvald) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vvi Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Maybe the word you're looking for is "infidelity"? Or "unfaithfulness"? Or "disloyalty"? Disloyality isn't a word. You'll find the others easily in a dictionary. Edited March 29, 2009 by Vvi Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Why can't you just do the research yourself? I think that infidelity sounds much better than disloyalty, and means the same thing, so I'm going to presume that disloyalty is itself a translation if you're doing Spanish A1 and go with infidelity. A google search gives "Infidelity can be defined as any violation of the mutually agreed-upon rules or boundaries of a relationship, and is a breach of faith in an inter-personal relationship." [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infidelity"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infidelity[/url] I'd say that's good enough. After all this is an A1 language, not actually psychology. Are you sure it's strictly necessary to define the theme? Surely throughout the essay the examples you pick out ought to demonstrate what you mean by fidelty (most of the essay should actually be about proving via example that there IS infidelity in the plays)? Being perfectly honest, I think the examiner might think it a bit odd that you're defining words everybody knows the meaning of, particularly when you're going to go on and prove by demonstration!
