- 13351: Propaganda In Film
- ... the same. From the early sixteenth century, particularly in Renaissance Italy, the artists that achieved fame had to design political paraphernalia for their patrons or masters. The notion that art was motivated by the artist's convictions began to be espoused in the late eighteenth century. It was during the period of Romanticism that the artist's individualism and social independence began to be embraced. The idea that self-expression was the true function of art and that it should not be influenced by everyday social or political concerns started to be accepted. However, considering art's historical utilization, with the invention of film in the late nineteenth century, it seems rather incredulous that this form of artistic expression could remain untouched by ideology and politics. The history of modern propaganda ...

- ... driven to an act or acts, generally being asocial, by his own fixations but by nature of his peculiar psyche must balance these actions with others more socially acceptable. There are abundant examples of Rockefeller's deeds fitting these clinical characteristics, and John D. Rockefeller is today generally regarded as an obsessive-compulsive. The roots of this disorder are traceable back to his childhood. While much of Rockefeller's business history remains a mystery today, it is apparent that much of his success is attributable to his obsessive-compulsive disorder. Franz Alexander and Louis B. Shapiro's description of the obsessive- compulsive disorder from their book Neuroses, Behavior Disorders, and Perversions0 is a frequently used summary of the commonly agreed-upon characteristics. It states: "Full blown cases of obsessive-compulsive states ...

- 13354: Candide - Voltaires Writing St
- Candide - Voltaire's Writing Style In Candide, Voltaire uses many writing techniques which can also be found in the works of Cervantes, Alighieri, Rabelais and Moliere. The use of the various styles and conventions shows that, despite the passage of centuries and the language differences, certain writing techniques will always be effective. One common literary technique is the author's use of one or more of his characters as his 'voice' to speak out the authors views on a certain subject. For instance, in Moliere's Tartuffe, the author uses the character of Cleante to speak out against religious hypocrites (page 1419, lines 99-102): Nothing that I more cherish and admire Than honest zeal and true religious fire. So ...

- 13356: ... book From Confessions. Johann Goethe uses emotion and cosmic objects, which are a part of nature as sources of his inspiration when he wrote Faust. An example of this is when Faust responds to Margaret’s question, “Do you believe in God?”(“Faust,” 29-43) Does not the heaven vault above? Is the earth not firmly based down here? And do not, friendly, Eternal stars arise? Do we not look into ... inherently selfish there needs to be rules to protect others in case conflicting interests. This view of things goes against religious ideals, which does not emphasize self but emphasizes fellowship with God by following God’s rules and conventions. Interactions with nature have for many Romantic poets’ mystical overtones. Nature is apprehended by them not only as an exemplar and a source of vivid physical beauty but as a manifestation of ...
- 13357: Othello 2
- ... are many literary works that contain villains who play an essential role in the development of the work as a whole. However, I believe that the ultimate villain of this kind is Iago in Shakespeare s play, Othello. Through manipulation and scheming, he beguiles the other characters of the novel. In the analysis of Iago s character, we find that the true motive for his villainous acts is simply jealousy. Throughout the course of the novel, we are confronted with some of the motives for Iago s jealousy. He believes that Othello has been having an affair with Emilia. He also despises Cassio because of the promotion he received. One of the means Iago uses to carry out his plan is ...
- 13358: The Real Plague
- ... a more powerful type of plague as well as this corporeal epidemic; his goal is not only of combating the plague which physically robs men of life, but to suppress the plague which ravages men¡¦s hearts, specially his own. To start a task force, one needs people. When Rieux and Tarrou converse, they discuss who to put into the task force. Rieux suggests that maybe Jean should consider using some of the prisoners in the jail to work against the plague. After dealing with plague-stricken men all his life, Tarrou rejects this proposal. Tarrou comments, "I loathe men¡¦s being condemned to death," (125). Tarrou¡¦s reasoning for that not wanting prisoners to be used deviates from the ordinary. While many would object to prisoners being sent out to work because they do not deserve to be set free. Tarrou ...
- 13359: The Moral Evolution Of Pip
- ... and narrator of the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. A major theme in Great Expectations is the definition of a true "gentleman."

In time, Pip will eventually become one in the true sense that he displays an understanding of proper morals and attitudes, acting accordingly. Great Expectations traces the change in Pip's moral development as he becomes a gentleman. This transformation is marked by three distinct stages: guilt/fear, self-interest, and altruism. In tracing the development of Pip's character, one discovers that Pip's morals are in need of development when he is young, for he acts out of fear and experiences guilt. At the beginning of Great Expectations, Pip is seven ...
- 13360: The Rime Of The Christo-marine
- ... symbolism abound. The three main elements of the story, the Mariner, the Albatross, and the Sun, each play a role as Jesus. From the first stanza, Coleridge begins his biblical allusions and, through the Mariner's eyes, paints a vivid picture wrought with the Christian god and angelic hordes as recurring foci. Coleridge begins his parallels with the setting, a wedding day. One of Christ's most famous miracles, that of turning water to wine, took place at the wedding at Cana, in Galilee. The Ancient Mariner is the quiet guest who performs a miracle of his own in the retelling ... makes use of "holy" numbers, such as three and seven, on several occasions.
