And I believe that your idea of demolishing old buildings and souvenirs, is fine... The dead should not be permitted to be so much stronger than the living.

Act V Sc Work Of Art
1,996 wordsFew critics have even admitted that Hamlet the play is the primary problem, and Hamlet the character only secondary. And Hamlet the character has had an especial temptation for that most dangerous type of critic: the critic with a mind which is naturally of the creative order, but which through some weakness in creative power exercises itself in criticism instead. These minds often find in Hamlet a vicarious existence for their own artistic realization. Such a mind had Goethe, who made of Hamlet...

The reason why peoples bodies served as the objects of artistic portrayal, throughout the history, is that artists had good reasons to associate them with the ideals of beauty. In fact, our metaphysical ability of distinguishing between beautiful and ugly ...

2,512 wordsCan morality provide us with a form of self-transcendence? Within the scope of this research, we will elaborate on various philosophers opinions in order to find out whether morality can provide us with a form of self transcendence. Self-transcendence, according to Nietzsche, is the common essence of all moral codes. "Man, " he says, "is something that should be transcended. " (Cohen 126) Self-transcendence is, for him, not only the essence of morality, but most emphatically the essence of man h...

Black And White Film Noir
4,098 wordsEXISTENTIALISM IN FILM I could not say where or how existentialist themes first emerged in film. Often times, critics will point to the work of Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini as early examples. Indeed, these two men are titans in their art, and they will be discussed in this essay. However, it occurs to me that a certain genre of film being made in America during the late forties and early fifties perhaps deserves credit for treating very early, if not for the first time, subject matter and...

Chose Venice Warm Inviting Life
413 wordsLife to Gustave von Aschenbach meant more than simply living; rather, an entirely differently definition is used. To him, life was abstaining from art; but to take up art is to deny life. Thus the artist becomes the individual, and life that which he envies. All too late to realize this, Aschenbach, in his final years, finally seeks life outside his works. Unfortunately, without the rhythm and dutiful nature his art brought him, he became lost. To re-identify himself, he chose Venice to vacation...

It is a physical entity, subject to all the laws of physics.

This corresponding entity ostensibly incorporates a dimension of our being which, in principl...
