The work to complete a parallel between the biblical myth of “Iona” and approach it in known neo-modern drama parable of “Iona”written by Marin Sorescu. The Assyrian Empire map, the World Map and other graphic scheme will support the coordinated space and time found in the two portrayals.
Placenames such as: Mediterranean Sea- biblical texts known as the Great Sea, the Assyrian Empire, The Nineveh Citadel, Tarsis and Judea are some geographical coordinates that help in locating lands where the biblical prophetworked and lived. On the other hand, there is impoverishment boundary in the space and time to the play signed by Marin Sorescu though, having gone through its full, it can be concluded that the character of the parable drama knows a wide degree of generalization: it can be located anywhere in world, represents modern man.
Recommendations for the teacher about implementing the scenario:
- The teacher will prepare a map of the Assyrian Empire;
- The teacher will prepare drawings that capture the biblical prophet positioning plotting against the fish that swallows him;
- Students will be informed about the targeting on the map, to discover the city where biblical episode was developed;
-Playing exercises: space positioning of the Ninive Citadel related to the city of Babylon;
-Students will have available both Bible and drama texturing parable of Marin Sorescu;
