Why Spanish Soap operas Make No Sense
So, I was eating dinner with my mom and dad around the same time they watch their Spanish soap operas or "telenovelas" as we call them. Now, I've seen soap operas in the past and I can see the significance in why they were created but oh too often the art is abused and you run into soap operas that simply make no sense. This happens in all forms of art, not just soap operas.
So while we're eating dinner, my parents are watching they're favorite soap operas about some girl whose had a hard life, falls in love with some great doctor, and is hated by everyone she knows; I try not to pay attention. In this episode however, she's about to get married when her arch-foe comes and kidnaps her by sending a messenger boy with a note claiming that her husband wants to meet her for a surprise before they get married. *BTW, this girl has been poppy-trapped in the past*
Ok, so with the scene being set and the trap being armed a few questions come to mind. Having a history of being poppy-trapped, wouldn't you think she would be slightly skeptic of receiving a note from some random messenger boy that was supposedly written by her loving husband? Wouldn't you think she would know her husband's hand writing? And why is she just so damn stupid?
I can admit that in literature and literature based works, the reader always knows more than the characters but sometimes its like the characters have no common sense. Like they're oblivious to the horrors that run free in these places.
So to wrap it up, she gets kidnapped by her pregnant arch-foe and gets hauled away to some shack that's about to be lit on fire. The shack catches fire, the pregnant arch-foe starts going into labor, the stupid main character breaks free and pulls them to safety and helps her give birth through a pair of closed pants.
Now, in the real world and probably in the telenovela world too, this doesn't make any sense. How do you give birth with you pants still on? Does the baby magically rip through the pair of pants or is he a ghost and simply seeps through. It makes no sense.
