Previously, Turks and Moslems were portrayed in popular theater as bumbling, selfish, hedonistic, or some combination of the above.

The Pasha, though he keeps Constanza captive, is shown to be a generous and merciful man, especially at the end of the opera. He attempts to win over Constanza by ...

- ... in the camp. The attitudes of the two characters and the setting probably are what kept them alive. In comparison of the way the setting affected character, we see they were quite alike also. Prospero's morbid lifestyle was quite unusual. His room of black with scarlet panes of glass, his ebony clock with a low dull monotonous chime and the bizarre masquerade party all show he was unusual and fascinated with the bizarre. Stella's description of ravenous black hair, the cold weather, and her unfeeling for others made her out to be quite unusual as well. Also both characters were seen to be selfish but in different ways. Yet ... and his closet friends so that they may escape the Red Death. He was selfish in a way that he would let everyone else die but he would hide until it was all over. Stella's selfishness was brought out when she took the life out of the child.

- 25068: Personal Writing: The Burnside Project
- Personal Writing: The Burnside Project I come around the corner, and a smile comes across my face. I love it when there isn't a crowd.

I climb onto the lower platform, and quickly scale the small wall to the upper. I nod at the other already standing there. I've seen him before, but I don't need to know his name. A silent friendship binds us that rarely needs words. An occasional cheer or wince says more than the daily chat most are forced to endure. The sound of the second ... ears. His image creeps into the corner of my eye while I inspect my shoes. I scrub the soles back and forth on the pavement, out of habit, to insure a dry surface. I don't bother to watch him.

- ... White enough evidence as to the credibility of his work. His influence has not stopped because of his death but lives on in his books, either written by himself or written about him. Minor White's style was to use realistic natural images in an abstract way as to make the viewer think about and try to "read" the photograph. Often, Minor compared his work to religious or spiritual events that ... was inspired by George Guerdjiff, who wanted to energize the 3 centers of being; intellectual, emotional, and spiritual; in every picture.
