Evening: Landscape With An Aqueduct: Typical Example Of Romantic Art
.... the course of a two-year trip in Italy, where he scouted the countryside of around Rome, painted many of his landscapes.
Romantics focused on nature, but for Gericault this was true, but he also understood a romantic had to go to “extraordinary lengths in trying to achieve a maximum of authenticity” (Janson, 431-36). We see this example in his own painting “Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct,” which was part of a set of three. The other two were called “Noon: Landscape With a Roman Tomb” and .....

Oedipus Rex - Bliss In Ignorance
.... that life must be examined and reflected upon, known and discovered by each individual philosopher to better enrich life for all. Yet in terms of Sophoclean drama, specifically Oedipus Rex, this was meant in a vastly different way. The unexamined life was one that was in the dark, unknown as to what fate lied beyond every turn and irony of living. Oedipus, up to the point in which he heard the comment in the tavern in Corinth, lived an unexamined life. To Socrates, he was an unfulfilled man, one who d .....

Cultural Write-Up On “Gone With The Wind”

I was in awe with the lavish scene, beautifully costumed and photographed at the Twelve Oak’s ball and barbecue. Its magnificence suggests an idyllic culture with warming and abundant security. The major characters were one by one introduced with immeasurable boldness that draws the viewer to them. I was immediately attracted to the lighthearted and beautiful Scarlett when I first saw her. War was t .....

The Epilogue Of The Tempest By William Shakespeare
.... can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience.
All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The "Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play with the "help of [y]our .....

The Preponderant Lysistrata

Without the women, the men “walk around the city bent over like men lighting matches in a wind” (726, 1028-9). Lysistrata uses her knowledge to gain power over them by summoning all of the women together and calling for “a sex-strike against war” (701). This “sex-strike” puts the men in “a pretty high-strung condition” (727, 1102) and also puts them at the mercy of t .....

But despite these hints, he still refers to himself as part of the House of York, shown in the repeated use of "Our".
