Introduction

Robert Smithson examines the protocols of the standard modern aesthetics. His arguments point to the development of a limitlessness approach into art inspection, whereby art may exist in the mind of the observer in an abstract fashion. He sees the natural world as the foundation on which the ideological characters of people’s concepts emerge. Smithson indicates that boundaries and protocols do not exist for all artists in the same way. The mind of the artists is as vast and abstract as the earth’s surface. In earth projects, both real and fictional elements interact and trade places. According to ...

A Midsummer Night’s Dream has many things to say about the themes of love and marriage; it is mostly portrayed as something foolish and impetuous, with youthful lovers making rash decisions and falling into literal spells.

Titania, having been exposed to a magic potion on her eyelids, looks upon Nick, who now has an asses' face. The two characters meet, and Titania showers him with affection, including the efforts of Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mustardseed and Mote, several ...

The sense of love, compassion and nobility is exhausted in Othello. It is replaced by a growing sense of misogyny, harshness and ignominy. Act IV of the play depicts this replacement, and we find that the principle characters are not those who act, but those who suffer.
In the first scene of the act, and after being convinced of the unfaithfulness of his wife, Othello confronted Desdemona and accused her of betrayal. His imagination is manipulated by Iago’s lies that he interprets his wife’s denial as a proof of her sin. Even though Othello does not deny his ...

John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” is one of the most lasting and unforgettable poem of the Romantic Period. Through this poem, Keats absurdly conveys the message that the true language of art is speechless (Hofmann 251). By doing this, Keats is able to move readers of the present time, which is a universal trait of all 19th century poets Bloom and Trilling 494). Although Keats coherently develops the meaning of the whole poem to achieve this effect, but he especially emphasizes it in the concluding lines: “'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all/Ye know on earth, and ...

Man delights neither me nor woman either" personifies the Renaissance spirit because of the newfound interest in the world that it professes (Shakespeare). This period begins in the 13th century, where a combination of political, social, economic, religious, and cultural factors all affected changes occurring in ...

The narrator in James Joyce’s Araby is a mere boy of the age of nine or ten years. Although we see Dublin the way this little boy has described it, we find little warmth or joyousness in it, although the innocent little boy seems to think that whatever he sees around himself is very much normal. It is however pretty clear, that though this narration is of a little boy, the words are actually from someone who is a lot more mature.
The boy seems to be infatuated with Mangan’s sister. He believes that she is his true love. ...

Sunglasses - False Consciousness

In this picture, a pair of sunglasses is placed on a tablecloth, folded and pointing toward the viewer. These sunglasses are indicative of the Marxist thesis of false consciousness, wherein the capitalist machine creates a false sense of happiness and harmony between social classes. In reality, the rich control the poor but the poor do not quite know it. This harsh reality is overshadowed by materials and institutions that place importance on consumerism and capitalism as a means to accrue happiness. With the potential for wealth dangled in front of a public that does not see the truth, people can actively vote or work ...

It is a million dollar question. What makes a good piece of literature? What makes a memorable piece of music? The question applies to every medium of art in factwhat makes the work of a human worth seeing, worth reading, listening, feeling or watching, studying. And the answer too is simple enough. Any work of art that conveys an idea in its purity and freshness no matter where the looking glass is aimed at, from whichever perspective, is worthy of note. Literature can transmit ideas from ages past, to demographics wide, mould itself into fashions and traditions and yet mean something different to ...

Modernism, as its manifestly obvious name suggests, represents an idea, thought, movement or character that is modern. This term “modern” exemplifies different cultural tendencies and related intellectual movements taking place during the late 19th and early 20th century, roughly dating from 1860s to 1970s. It surfaced as rebellious angst struggling against the overly conservative realism, sternly rejecting tradition and endeavoring to create a new form of already existing artistic and intellectual modes of human existence, with rewriting, reevaluating and recapitalizing human certainty of existence. It gave birth to self-conscious authors whose physical existence was marred by the newly emerging technology, ...

The picture illustrates the moment from the 13th canto of the Dante’s famous poem. The Divine Comedy as a literature work is divided into three parts: the Inferno, the Purgatory and the Paradise.

The Inferno is considered to be the most important part of the poem because it provides the description of hell. This image became so popular and traditional that it was used in many other literature and art works. According to the Dante’s theory the ...

"A Room with a View" by E.M. Forster

The narrative technique used in the novel “A Room with a View” is the omniscient point of view. The narrator has ensured that he manages to foster a close relationship with the characters.

I chose to look at Philip Larkin’s Ambulances. My initial response to the poem was to be soberly reminded of my own fate but in an uneasy way, like the uneasiness of juxtaposition between the common image presented alongside its unusual interpretation since ambulances are usually seen as symbols of care and rescue, rather than death.

Lady MacBeth is a pivotal character in Shakespeare’s darkest play, a woman bereft of human feeling other than greed and a naked lust for power. Lady MacBeth is the ultimate “power behind the power,” playing on her husband’s own ambition and willingness to be tempted. Frustrated over her inherent weakness, she rages against the notion of a weaker sex that produces housewives or witches. As such, she is an exploiter who sharpens the blade of MacBeth’s desire, whetting his appetite for the crown. In a sense, gender becomes a neutral issue. Cleansed of feminine sensitivity, Lady MacBeth is a force seeking only power.

The author suggests that the grid is the fundamental structure or modernist art (Krauss, 1979).

However, recent studies have shown a rise of women artists, philosophers and even leaders. Compared to the situations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the number of women taking part in substantial activities has increased rapidly. Apparently, changes in way women were treated in the past and the access if women to vital resources have been attributed to the growth in feminist ventures (Nochlin, 1988). Increased feminist experiments and endeavors in all forms of life are the ...

Color is a valuable resource in education especially if it comes in the form of pictures. Colors add to the attraction in learning and establishing the relevance and significance of learning. This poem, written in both Spanish and English, is an example of how bilingual language can be used in learning and teaching. I chose this poem as a resource since I felt that there is a dreamy use of color in it that initiates a sense of magic. This looks appealing in learning especially to children. The purpose of this resource is to heighten the sense of sound and color among students ...

Walt Whitman published A Noiseless Patient Spider (778) in 1891 and uses vivid imagery in every line to depict the story of a spider the author sees. This paper will explore the poem line by line to discuss how Whitman uses imagery and metaphor to convey deeper meaning.
In line one, Whitman begins his use of imagery as he describes the spider as “noiseless” and “patient” (1). These words seem to be used to establish a somewhat somber tone, as the spider has no noise, which in the context of the entire poem, seems to mean the spider has no ...
