Fiddeler on the roof
Fiddler on the roof is set on a jewish family. The movie is based on all the traditions of the Jewish community and how important the traditions are to him. Everybody in the village is set in their ways. they belive that without their traditions their lifes would not be stable.Yente is the village match maker who finds all the girls husbands and they believe that even a bad husband is better than no husband at all. in this time jews are starting to be evicted from their homes all around the country. Tevye is concerned on how he is going to get all of his daughters married since he is just a poor farmer. his first daughter wants to marry a lowly shoe maker, but she knows Yente will not match them together. So they ask if Tevye permission if they can be together. Tevye is outraged saying this is not how it is done but finally comes around and gives them their blessings. His other daughter falls in love with the teacher and also wants to marry him without getting matched to him, again Tevye is mad but finally comes around to the idea. His last daughter falls in love with a boy not even of their religion and runs off to elope with him. Now Tevye is so outraged he belives he could never come to terms with this and says she is dead to him. Than the Jews are kicked out of the village and Tevye semi comes to terms with their relationship because are leaving the village to.
