Ludwig Van Beethoven Sonata Form
1,481 words
... wig Van Beethoven The rise of Ludwig van
Beethoven into the ranks of history's greatest
composers was paralleled by and in some ways a
consequence of his own personal tragedy and
despair. Beginning in the late 1790 's, the
increasing buzzing and humming in his ears sent
Beethoven into a panic, searching for a cure from

the Heiligenstadt Testament confessing the
certainty of his growing deafness, his consequent
despair, and suicidal considerati...

Classic Hero Theseus Mary Renault Tells Story
791 words
Review of Mary Renault's The King Must Die Mary
Renault tells a wonderfully dashing tale of the
classic Hero Theseus, who was said to have lived
shortly before the time of the Trojan War.
Although the book is very appealing to me the
author did not follow the classic legends in
several aspects. This can be a good technique and
does bring newness to the story, however some
departures changed the very fabric of the tale. In
Renault's story many details are added that give
the tale much more flavor...

tragic hero but a victim of a false idealistic

self made man that American society often
advertises but ultimately falls short, and
instead, escapes accepting his failure through
lies and death. What many flaws Willy possesses,

hero. Willy Loman, was never reall...
