#cora munro

[solaraurora]

finally watched The Last Of The Mohicans for the first time. absolutely beautiful film with such a heartwrenching bittersweet ending. I love it so much. this film now holds a special place in my heart.

my heart broke & I cried so hard when Uncas & Alice died. their relationship was so sweet. they really cared about each other so much. it's so unfair.

also Nathaniel & Cora have become a new fictional couple for me to obsess over. the romance portion of this film was wonderful. they're so perfect.

"stay alive. I will find you" ❤️

also Daniel Day-Lewis with long hair my god

I never shipped Cora Munro and Hawkeye together, even though they are canon in the 1992 movie adaptation of The Last of the Mohicans. That's because I read the book first and now I don't like Hawkeye as a love interest for Cora because in the book, Cora is part black and Hawkeye is prejudiced against mixed-race people, citing his white blood and his Native American friends' blood as "purer." Which is why I ship Cora with Uncas like in the book (who was made Alice's love interest instead when Alice survived/married someone else in the novel). I think if I never read the book, I probably wouldn't care, but reading the book made me ship Cora with Uncas, who was not racist about mixed people like Hawkeye was.

Good movie. Incredibly slow going. But still. Good movie.

[power-chords]

You were magnificent as Cora Munro. At one point, long ago, you were quoted as saying that for the first time "I feel like everything I tried to do is in there." Tell us about the role of Cora, how you tried to portray her, and do you still feel the same? Michael used the preproduction period to study our faces. He'd have me come to rehearsal with my hair up and speak Cora's words. He'd do a semi-circle and just look at me from every angle. I cannot express how rare it is for a director to do this. I also cannot tell you where my interpretation of Cora began and Michael's ended. I often times felt as if he were in the scenes with us, such was his imprint. So when I said, "I feel like everything I tried to do is there," it is less because of what I did than it is a case of Michael keeping his word. Sometimes he'd launch into a discourse, a convoluted discourse about something or other, and I had no idea what he was saying. I'd tease him about it, "What on earth are you talking about?" And he was capable of blushing.

The Last Of The Mohican - a search for clues

„French Soldier“ in Fort Louisbourg

The novel "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper is set at the time of the British fighting the French (with Indian allies on both sides) for colonial supremacy in North America in the Seven Years' War of 1756 - 1763. In the story, the Mohican Uncas and the trapper Natty Bumppo (called "Hawkeye") attempt to free the two kidnapped daughters of Colonel Munro (the commanding officer of the fort "William Henry"), Cora and Alice, from the hands of the Hurons. The fictional story takes place against the backdrop of the true historical events surrounding the massacre after the surrender of fort “William Henry” in 1757.

Our trip to Canada in 2019 also took us to the area where this war was fought. The French fortress (or short „fort“) “Louisbourg” on Nova Scotia occupied an important, strategic position, controlling access to the St. Lawrence River - an important supply route for the French colonies. The fortress is still preserved and now serves as a tourist attraction. You can immerse yourself in the lives of the soldiers and civilian residents of the garrison at that time. The war ended after a decisive battle near the city Quebec with the defeat of France and the loss of all colonies there. However, French culture and language has persisted in this region of Canada (called Quebec). Quebec today enjoys special status in Canada as a “nation within a nation”.

Do you have any book recs for romances with an interrupting the wedding scene?

I doooo, though not too many.

There's On the Way to the Wedding, obviously, but I'll be real: I did not care for this book, personally. I found the hero profoundly dull.

An Island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera has a GREAT sapphic wedding interruption (to be clear, the wedding is het, but the interruption is sapphic, lol). There's a fab "Oh God what am I doing" desperate energy to it, because Cora Fucked Up.

The Leopard Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt has a terrific I OBJEEEEEECT, wherein Harry walks in and is like "that's my woman--and also my baby in her very womb RIGHT NOW" and everyone is like *GASP*. He has to do a lot more to convince her, though.

The Hawk by Monica McCarty has a moment where the hero thinks he's interrupting a wedding. Things are a bit more complicated than that, but he kidnaps the heroine anyway and it's honestly pretty glorious because it underlines his true heart (that of a himbo).

LOL SHIT there's Munro by Kresley Cole, which is GLORIOUS. The hero (Munro) is a werewolf and he knows the heroine (Kereny) is his fated mate, but she a) is human and therefore profoundly does not know this and b) is actually! A monster hunter! And he ends up crashing her wedding to her childhood best friend who Doesn't Do It Like That. But he doesn't actually stop the vows--and then a bunch of Actually Bad monsters attack, and because he's a Kresley Cole hero, he's like "I can actually... I don't know.... kill like, all of them, and save your family, but I'll only do it if you come with me right now (and COME with me later)". And she's like "oh fucking fine I'll go" and they MAKE OUT IN FRONT OF HER HUSBAND. IN THE RAIN. TO SEAL THE DEAL.

Name the basis for this Classic FanFic ...

Cora Munro walked behind her husband, clenching her teeth as the blisters rubbed against her boots. They were shoes made for taking carriage rides and mounting the steps to her friend’s home for tea, not for traveling through the woods.

Magua, her husband (how she shuddered to call him that) had handed her a pair of soft leather moccasins, but she had refused. She would never adjust to this life - she had determined that the very first night. It was her small act of rebellion, that she was beginning to realize, hurt no one but her.

Cora had agreed to this arrangement to save the life of her sister Alice, and their friend Duncan. By now, no doubt, they were married themselves and it wouldn’t be long until she became an aunt. What would Alice tell her child about Cora? Maybe she would say nothing and pretend that Cora had never existed at all ...

Memories of Earl Munro and great aunt’s Cora (Munro) Yuill- Grandmother Florence Yuill- Linda (More) Dryer

In response to Halls Mills School– Earl Munro –1968 by Linda (More) Dryer Lovely to read both my great uncle’s, Earl Munro and great aunt’s Cora (Munro) Yuill contributions with regard to their school Halls Mills. They were both very dear siblings to my grandmother Florence (Munro) Watt and close to my family’s heart as well. All 3 of the 5 Munro siblings loved to write to the Almonte Gazette…

The Last of the Mohicans - art by N. C. Wyeth (1919)

[megmahoneyart]

I just rewatched this movie recently, and now I’m rereading the book (which I don’t think I’ve done since high school).

[brynnaraven]

Oh, readers. I wish I had news of a new chapter of Crazy Faith, but I don’t yet. Yet. We are moving through the final part of my husband’s brain cancer treatment, which is chemo, and that will be over in late October. He is doing remarkably well, but that is his way. He is such a warrior.

The week after my husband finished 28 radiation treatments, my Dad died very suddenly of a heart attack in February, with no previous indicators that this could happen. He had a lung condition from agent orange exposure in Vietnam, but no cardiac problems that we ever knew about. It was a massive and horrible thing that hit like a freight train. We are all still reeling from it, and the last three months have been a roller coaster to say the least. Because it wasn’t enough already, you know? My family and I have spent a lot of time helping my mom sort out affairs, I arranged the funeral since he was buried where I live and had to be transported, it’s been… I don’t have a word. The year isn’t half over and I’m already tapped. Honestly I’d really love to take a whole week, lock myself in a hotel alone, and write like four chapters, but I’m not sure it would happen. My brain just is so very tired and won’t enter FicMode yet. I try. I reread parts of CF to try and get things flowing, but then I cry when I read about Munro’s death. I won’t always. I will finish this damn story one day.

My Dad took me to see Last of the Mohicans in 1992. My Dad gave me my first longrifle. This is basically because of him. So I will finish it. I WANT to finish it! I just don’t know when. I’m sorry, y’all.
