At about the same time that Beethoven had exhausted the potentials of the high-Classic style, his increasing deafness landed him in a major cycle of depression, from which was to emerge his heroic period as exemplified in Symphony No. 3, op. 55 ("Eroica").

- 1229: Hamlets Oedipus Complex

Even though he wasn't what he was before a time he could come out and just for that night prove he really is the best. The same thing happened to Melville.
