In the movie Muriel’s Wedding‚ there are many things that had repetition throughout the movie which gave symbolization of what it meant to the characters identity and events that occurred within the movie.

In Aristotle’s Book II of Nicomachean Ethics‚ he explains that virtue of character is the mean to
