What are some "The Rose Tattoo" by Tennessee Williams quotes?
Q. I have to do a project for my English class & we just finished reading "The Rose Tattoo". In our project we need to include quotes which I tried finding on Google, but can't seem to find any good ones.
A. "A woman can be dignified in her grief but when it�s carried too far it becomes a sort of self-indulgence. Oh, I knew this was going to happen when you broke the church law and had your husband cremated!� ~ Father De Leo, The Rose Tattoo
�When he was shot at the wheel of the truck, it crashed and caught fire. But deliberate cremation is not the same thing. It�s an abomination in the sight of God.� ~ Father De Leo, The Rose Tattoo
Just as in our world, various societal components play a major part in the characters� every day lives. Religion is one of these components, and is particularly influential in The Rose Tattoo.
Cremation, disposal of a corpse by fire, is an ancient tradition and is often followed by the family saving or burying the ashes. Serafina chose to use cremation rather than burial as a means to dispose of her husband�s body, even though at that time it was against catholic law. In 1917, the Code of Canon Law forbade cremation for Catholics, and it was prohibited until 1963, when it was allowed, only if it was not chosen as a sign of denial of Christian teaching. The Rose Tattoo was written in 1951; therefore Serafina was breaking the ordinance.
Since 1963, the Catholic Church has issued many statements and instructions, urging that �the practice of burying the bodies of the faithful is by all means to be kept,� and �the Church earnestly recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the dead by observed.�
So, although it is permissible for Catholics to practice cremation, it is strongly frowned upon by church officials.
Reasons that the Catholic Church gives for disagreeing with cremation:
(from the Committee on the Liturgy, United States conference for Catholic Bishops)
� the physical human body represents the experience of baptism
� the human body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
� �The body which lies in death recalls the personal story of faith, the past relationships, and the continued spiritual presence of the deceased person.�
� the worship of ashes could be construed as idol worship
