Uri Margolin’s assertion that “an individual's appearance, gestures, mannerism, dress, and natural and human-made environment are indicators for inferences about his or her mental and moral features” essentially claims that readers pick up on who a character is through their outside features as described in the prose (2012, p. 77). However, this assertion ignores the possibility of contrasts, societal pressures, and other factors that can provide needed context for further understanding of their true character. Tess in Tess of the d’Urburvilles, for instance, is a quintessential contradiction – somewhere between rich and poor, sophisticated and simple, strong and Continue reading...

The main social issues being discussed in the poems “The Chimney Sweeper" by William Blake, “Imagine the Angels of Bread” by Martin Espada and “If I Were Paul” by Mark Jarman were distinct from each other. For example, “The Chimney Sweeper” discusses about child labor. “Imagine the Angels of Bread” discusses about especially unfair work conditions. “If I Were Paul” on the other hand, takes into account the biblical story of Saul of Tarsus and his journey to becoming the apostle Paul. One thing that connects these three Continue reading...

Most of the poems of Phillis Wheatley and Anne Bradstreet address the themes of religion, slavery, gender and race. In my work, I will pay close attention to the themes of gender and race. The theme of gender and race brings out the inequality and unfairness of the society. From the poems of both writers, men consider themselves superior beings and say that women must show respect and remain submissive always. The place of women in the society is undermined, and their roles not clearly defined. On issues of race, the white Englishmen claim to be the masters of Continue reading...

Faustus began his early life a very contented man. As a knowledgeable scholar, he found enough justification to live happily.

These paintings are being compared and analyzed together because they show the standard of what constitute art at that period. Unlike Gentileschi’s previous works, The Annunciation is free from heavy influence of Caravaggio’s style which employs theatrical and irregular composition. Oftentimes this composition is seen as dramatic and in monumental composition. However, at the time when Gentileschi is doing the said painting, he is beginning to develop his own style, away from Caravaggio’s approach. In this work, the painting still shows the lyrical gestures and the sense of involvement with the scene although the figures are Continue reading...

Introduction

Theologically speaking, the nature or concept of God and beliefs or practices differ based on religious doctrine. In some cases, some religious groups base or borrow their doctrines on established ones or from known mythological narratives. This is especially true for cult groups that establish their significance on symbolism that is familiar to most people. Heaven’s Gate set an example because it is a cult that formulated its doctrines from pre-established canons such as those found in the Holy Bible infused with elements of science fiction. The result of which is a reinterpretation of the Bible within the Continue reading...

A Comparison of Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil” to Kafka’s “The Castle”
How does one define an adult? The simplest way to answer this is to oppose the concept of adulthood to that of childhood. So an adult is someone who has stopped being a child. But, in this regard, another completely justified question arises – how does one define a child?
It seems simple enough from all standpoints: a child is an immature person, meaning he is yet to reach maturity due to his age. Therefore, the difference between a child and an adult is greatly dependent upon the Continue reading...

The Great Divorce a great work of Lewis that attempts to challenge the assumption that humanity will be saved in the end. Lewis revisits the controversial subject of Hell and Heaven and the humanity’s desire of leading a happy life. The book develops a story that explains the people’s course from Hell to Heaven through which the narrator understands that human beings are presented with the opportunity of staying in the heaven, but fail to explore this chance because they prefer to stay in Hell. Lewis develops this concept by creating a scenario where he allows the Continue reading...

Throughout the second half the 1800’s England was the most powerful country on Earth, undergoing rapid industrialization and experiencing tremendous social change. At the time, the “women’s question” was a societal conversation about the nature, identity and role of woman in society (Norton Anthology). With a growing middle class, and increased literacy rates, novels and periodicals became a popular medium which was often used to investigate and debate the "women's question" since “the fate meted to characters could reflect opinions of their behavior”(Waller). During the Victorian era, a woman’s fate and lifestyle were largely determined Continue reading...

With Luca Signorelli (1445/1450 - 1523) was accomplished, with a clearer awareness, the transition from painting as a representation to painting as example of a more aware artistic poetic. The antithesis between the pictorial formal system of Piero della Francesca and the Florentine method was essentially the antithesis between being and becoming, between stasis and movement. The historical moment was of a great religious crisis: the Catholic Church needed a form of art that did not search the absolute, on the contrary the role of a work of art was to speak and persuade the shaken believers with clear Continue reading...

Tiziano Vecellio native of Pieve di Cadore (1480/1485), but Venetian by choice, has reached precocious stardom when, little more than a adolescent, worked with Giorgione in the decoration of the facade of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi.

His ongoing research and its persistent renew, certainly due to the strong consensus, to the honor and the celebrities, has kept his pictorial vein always fresh, almost inexhaustible.

The Church of Latter-Day Saints-- sometimes called the “Mormon” church-- is an American sect of Christianity that became famous for its practice of plural marriage, or polygyny. Even today, certain sects of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (referred to hereafter as the LDS church or Mormon church) practice plural marriage, or, more specifically, polygyny: the plural marriage between one man and multiple wives (Land, Schippers). Before discussing the current Mormon policies on polygyny and plural marriage, however, it is important to understand the historical structure of polygyny in the Mormon church.
