Don Juan As Byron Introspective
1,189 wordsThe works of George Gordon, Lord Byron have long been controversial, nearly as controversial as his lifestyle. Gordon Byron was born with a clubfoot and his sensitivity to it haunted his life and his works. Despite being a very handsome child, a fragile self-esteem made Byron extremely sensitive to criticism, of himself or of his poetry and he tended to make enemies rather quickly. The young Byron was often unhappy and lonely any many of his works seem to be a sort of introspective therapy. Thro...

Juxtaposition In Rhyming Couplets Juxtaposition In Rhyming Pope
563 wordsPope skillfully uses the mock epic genre to satirize the triviality of his society through exaggeration, parody, and juxtaposition in rhyming couplets. The epic form inherently makes subject matter larger than life and Pope cleverly uses this characteristic to reveal the absurdity of the society he lives in. In his epic, he mocks misplaced importance by placing an event as inconsequential as the snipping off of some hair at the root of his action. In Canto III, Pope turns a simple card game into...

Jean Paul Sartre Circle Of Hell
792 wordsFrom folklore to fairy tales there is the use of violent action to convey a specific message to the readers because violence never occurs without having a point to be made. Violent scenes often are the most gruesome and horrific yet they can contribute to the entire meaning of a work. Violence in a story always has a hidden purpose, and is there to enhance the inner meaning of the story while offering an extremely graphic visual to its readers. In Dantes The Inferno and States No Exit, there are...

Italics Mine Red Cross
1,068 wordsHow is the condemnation of moral duplicity in Book I of the Faerie Queen compatible with the duplicity or multiplicity of meaning that allegory requires? In answering the above question, it is necessary to focus on the function of duplicity / multiplicity in the two contexts presented. In the moral context, duplicity is equivalent with dishonesty, it involves purporting to be one thing whilst being another; it is a necessary deceit. In contrast, multiplicity in allegory involves an affirmation o...

Loss Of Her Hair Belinda And The Baron Pope
807 wordsPope had translated the Iliad recently before writing the Rape of the Lock so it is no wonder that the poem contains many allusions to it and other epics. Pope used the heroic couplet fore mostly because of the awe in which he held the epics and secondly because it provides a superb field in which to satirist whilst maintaining levity. His mocking of the epic begin in the first two lines of the poem: What dire offence from across causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things, Thi...

Love For God Order To Reach
1,184 wordsThe Inferno is part epic. The theme in Canto II is that of courtly love: much medieval literature deals with the love of a knight for an unattainable and lovely lady. In the literature of courtly love, the knights hopeless devotion spurs him on to chivalric feats, which he accomplishes in order to honor his chosen lady. In some lyrics of courtly love, the perfection of the desired lady undermines the religious morality of the poetry: a Christian should love God above all else. However, Dante mel...

9 Th Bolivia Mahomet And Ali Dante
673 wordsDivine Retribution (in Italian contrabass) is clearly shown in canto 28 by showing the punishment of the sowers of schism and scandal in the 9 th bolivia of circle 8. To begin this canto, Dante talks of the many wars in Puglia (southeastern Italy) and across the peninsula which have been known as the bloodiest. He does this to show that this 9 th bolivia is far bloodier than these, and beyond description. Those in this bolivia are punished by having to walk a track where they are cut open and sl...

Perfection An Insult Intellects Are Sick Dante
1,524 wordsDante wants two things: immortality in art and in heaven. But he realizes that he might not have the necessary ability to write his Commedia and still go to heaven. Despite his criticism of those figures who attempt the impossible, Dante may be one of them. He may be blasphemous, fraudulent, harmful, or simply wrong. He is contemptuous of those who dare exceed their limits because these characters prove ultimately destructive. Arachne hurts herself, Daedalus hurts his son, and Phaethon destroys ...

694 wordsAnthony Whiting For Hoon, as for the Hegelian and Kierkegaardian ironists, the world is both created by and an aspect of his ego. " I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw / Or heard or felt came not but from myself" (CP 65). Nothing, as Bloom observes, is exterior to Hoon. " Seeing, hearing, and feeling find objects only from his own self, and nothing through which he moves is outside him. " The sea sweeps through Hoon, but since he is the " compass" of t...

526 wordsA Daughter of Eve As Eve was to Adam, Delilah to Samson and Cleopatra to Anthony, so was Francesca da Rimini to Paolo Malatesta. When Dante encounters Francesca among the lustful in the Second Circle, she is the picture of genteel grace and femininity. He is enchanted by her, and is so moved by her story that he faints in pity. Alas, how many gentle thoughts, how deep a longing, had led them to the agonizing pass! (Inferno, Canto V, 112 - 114). Apparently Dante is convinced that Francesca and Pa...
