Klimt's Beliefs

Soon the emotion overran the Classical bounds and Romanticism was born”. Romantic music inspired two smaller movements: nationalistic music and music about legends. Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is a German composer who wrote many pieces on the basis of a story or myth. He revolutionized opera through creativity, discontent with musical formulas and his focus on drama.

Essay Role of Humour in Franz Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis’, ‘ The Trial’ and ‘Amerika’ “Humour is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement.” The term Humour has been derived from the Greek language, which teaches that humour is the balance of fluids in the human body.

Frederich Nietzsche and Kurt Vonnegut have a lot of the same amoralistic ideas. Understanding one of theirs writing could be the key to understanding the other. Reading some of Nietzsche’s philosophy made it a lot easier to comprehend some of Vonnegut’s ideas and the story of Cat’s Cradle. Vonnegut definitely uses Nietzsche’s ideas and makes them his own.

In the American memoir, Night, Nobel Peace Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel constructs a story about the horrific events he endured during the Holocaust. In the pages of this memoir, he portrays the life of Eliezer, a child born Jewish. In the later chapters of the book, Eliezer endures the tragic hanging of a pipel who lost his life for not giving up the names of the inmates that worked to sabotage the power plant at Buna, a forced labor camp in Germany. The guards forced Eliezer and his father to walk past the child as he hung from the gallows stuck between life and death. The death of the child signifies the death of Eliezer’s faith. The author used this position in the memoir to signify the end of the main character’s religious views, which makes this the climax of the book. The climax fits into the structure of the memoir at this point by staying consistent in word choice and advancing the plot further. The use of the appeals and tone also ties this scene into the plot. However, each translation utilizes these devices differently. The scholar’s translation focuses on ethos, logos, and a helpless tone. Marion’s translation uses pathos and a bitter tone. Marion’s version more effectively uses the appeals and tone because it conveys more emotion to the reader.

The environmental factors in an individual’s life can influence their sense of morality, leading to the notion that morality is not set at birth, but developed. If the environment is stable and welcoming, a good sense of morals can be developed; whereas, a disorderly environment has the opposite effect. An example of this concept can be seen in Eliezer Wiesel’s novella Night, as the Holocaust alters the moral sense of many characters. Franek, Eliezer’s foreman, changes as it becomes harder to survive. As Wiesel adapts to the Buna concentration camp, he points out that, “All the sudden, this pleasant and intelligent young man had changed. His eyes were shining with greed” (55). Moral changes are rapid in the containment of an erratic environment, as emphasized by the diction choice “sudden”. In the case of Franek, the concentration camp environment has made him so desperate that he progresses from a “pleasant” and “intelligent” man to one full of greed. Numerous philosophers, such as William Shakespeare and Leonardo Da Vinci, quote the metaphor, “Eyes are the windows to the soul". The intentions and driving motivation of an individual can be seen through the eyes alone. Franek’s eyes give away his inner desire of obtaining objects for his own benefit: the thought of possessing Eliezer’s gold tooth fills him with so much happiness that his eyes shine. The adjective “shining” is apprehended as positive and innocent, but brings emphasis to Franek’s corruption by contrasting

Linda Nguyen WRT 102 Judith Watry Research Paper 29 November 2016 The Psychological Analysis of Charles Schmid and Arnold Friend While doing some research on psychological criticism, I found that Arnold Friend in Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol Oates and notorious murderer Charles Schmid of The Pied Piper of Tucson by Don Moser have characteristics of being a psychopath, motive for killing, similar comparisons of innocence taken by an evil mind, and how Oates wrote her story based upon Schmid’s personality. Psychological criticism as explained in Retellings by M.B. Clarke and A.G. Clarke states “psychological criticism looks at internal influences on an author’s creation and our reception of it…whether the words and images can be read symbolically” (Clarke A-46). Throughout the paper, I will be addressing the psychological criticism of the schools of literary criticism from Retellings. I will be introducing a fictional character and a non-fictional character, a long with their characteristics, comparisons between Oates character with Moser’s, and ideology based upon the non-fictional character.

Elie Wiesel and Anne Frank had many similarities and differences in their lives during the Holocaust. This essay uses Night by Elie Wiesel and a play about Anne Frank to make its points. They have a similar topic and use mood similarly. However, they use motivation and point of view differently. Night and this play are very different and similar at the same time.

The Kiss Gustav Klimt The Kiss is a work that was painted by the Austrian artist, Gustav Klimt, between the years 1907 and 1908. Klimt utilizes his personal experiences and life changes as his inspiration for the creation of perhaps his most famous work yet. He links modernity and eroticism at the center of his work, the couple’s embrace. This embrace is a quintessential expression of one of the deepest passions known to mankind, sensual love. Klimt’s color choices, use of depth, line, and balance, are all techniques that contribute to the message he is trying to convey. This couple’s love radiates passion at its strongest, the love between man and woman, and the disconnect from reality they experience as they embrace.

In conclusion, Franz Kafka’s story was about a man who turns into a cockroach for the remainder of his life and is very mistreated by his family. Like a cockroach, the common worker is one in a million, which drives us further into degrading our self-worth and assuming the worst of others. This is the modern view that readers can visualize while reading this story.

Introduction Franz Kappus, a 19-year old student, wanted to solicit a career advice and a literary critique for the poems he had written (“Rainer Maria Rilke: Letters to a Young Poet” 1). Kappus solicited the advice and critique of Rainer Maria Rilke, a pioneer Austrian poet (“Rainer Maria Rilke: Letters to a Young Poet” 1). Rilke wrote ten letters in order to provide assistance to the needs of Kappus. These letters were in Rilke’s work, entitled, “Letters to a Young Poet.”

In 1832 he published his first composition which was a piano sonata and symphony that were influenced heavily by Beethoven (Bonds 464). However; in attempting to write these kinds of music he realized he loved theatre music (Bonds 463). Wagner spent a lot of time with the theatre he was able to see Geyer preform and see all the inner workings of the theatre (Jacobs 3). Through his experiences with the theatre he began to develop his own ideas of music. He only valued music for the operatic images that struck him (Jacobs 6). His image of music from the beginning seemed to be very narrow

Voltaire's Candide and Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther In the literary `movements' of neo-classicism and romanticism, Voltaire's Candide and Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther represent the literary age in which they were written. In the following composition, textual evidence will be provided to demonstrate how each book accurately represents either the neo-classicism age or the romanticism age. Candide and The Sorrows of Young Werther will be examined separately, and then examined together. After, a discussion about how each age seems to view the nature of man and the significance of moral and spiritual values will be presented. Also, a personal interpretation of the conclusion of each book will be given. Lastly, quotes

Literary artists, from authors to poets, have used their works to explore their histories and traditions in relation to society. These themes have changed the way in which a reader interprets different works.

Definition of Modernism in Fiction Modernism, in literature, can be seen as a shift in focus to the unassociated introspective reflection of characters in such texts as Go Tell It On The Mountain, by James Baldwin, Miss Lonelyhearts, by Nathanael West and The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger. This is a revision from the previous focal point of exterior events and places in correlation with the character’s reflections. Emphasis is placed on review upon feelings and thoughts, and even conversations with oneself, as opposed to the more directly event-driven reflections in texts of the pre-modernist era.
