Eye Of The Beholder Themes

In "What Meets the Eye," by Daniel Akst, the author argues that looks in fact do matter, and he evaluates the fact that we all know that looks matter, even more than we think.

Vision and the act of looking is an important and recurring theme in many horror films. In early gothic literature, such as in Guy de Maupassant 's Le Horla, the author presents vision as definitive and universal proof and stresses the importance of seeing as well as the act of showing gore. As a society, we are routinely told ‘seeing is believing ' in the wake of any paranormal or supernatural phenomena, placing weight on the tangible. However, as science and technology have progressed the faithfulness of visual representation is increasingly throw into question, which in turn has led to societal anxiety. A few years earlier, video footage of an event rarely had its validity questions, whereas now it is easy

The subjective element of beauty involves judgment, not opinion. Many people feel beauty is only something seen by the eyes. St. Thomas Aquinas views beauty in both the supernatural and natural orders. Aquinas lists the attributes of beauty to be found in nature. These are; unity, proportion, and clarity. We will see how these attributes of beauty are seen through the eye and felt by the heart.

This story takes place in a small town called Gatlin, located in South Carolina. It is located near the Santee River valley. In the book, the author states that, “I used to think our town, buried in the South Carolina backwoods, stuck in the muddy bottom of the Santee River valley, was the middle of nowhere.”(Garcia and Stohl 1) There are also many other minor places in the book, that are located within the town of Gatlin. Some of the constant places where the characters go are the library, the ‘Jackson High school’, the ‘lunae libre’, the lake, and the restaurant Dar-ee-keen. The story also takes place in Old London Streets in a time travel, where some of the main characters had reached in search of Lena (another main character). The text also states, “I was lying in a city street that looked like London or an old town right out of a history book”. (Garcia and Stohl 195) This is when Ethan, the main character and the narrator of the story reaches into a Caster tunnel and finds himself under the night sky instead of a tunnel. Another major Setting is the Caster tunnels, where many of the secrets conceal and is dangerous, especially for a mortal. “You can’t go after her. It’s too dangerous. There are Casters and creatures of unfathomable power in those Tunnels.” (Garcia and Stohl 191) This shows that there is a lot that can happen in this place, which are the tunnels and is dangerous to mortals and this is an important part of the plot and the setting.

     Things are not always as they appear. You may think someone is a certain way because of how they dress and carry themselves this is called stereotyping. Many people stereotype without even noticing that they are doing it. Everyone has his or her right to first impressions, but stereotyping is wrong. There are many examples of this topic in literature as well as in our society today.

In “Thou Blind Man’s Mark,” Sir Philip Sidney dramatizes the conflict between the power of desire and man’s attempts to combat it. The speaker begins the poem by saying, “Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare.” Diction is important here because the speaker refers to man as “blind” and as a “fool.” This suggests that is possible for man to fight desire, but is often ignorant and gets involved with it, despite its evils. The poem then uses alliteration saying, “...cradle of causeless care.”

The Sacred Realm is a theme of art that involves the concept of aspects that cannot be seen but can only be brought to existence through faith by viewing a piece of art work. This faith is usually in form of a sacred realm. It’s vital to understand that this theme cannot be viewed by the naked eye. For instance, the religious images in the visual art are employed to bring about the opinions and beliefs of the individuals who are in faith of the specific religion and this is reached by provision of abstract ideas with images thru the work of art. Therefore, the Sacred Realm theme of art explains in a virtual way the reason and purpose behind the existence of certain aspects of nature such as religion
