Kurapika And Leorios: A Narrative Fiction

The Greeks’ increased confidence after defeating Persian invaders in 480 BCE is recognized in the artwork of that time. Sculptures evolved from rigid, less lifelike structures to more relaxed and humanlike works, typically evoking self-confidence. The work “Kritios” Boy exemplifies this shift. Assumed to be the work of the Greek sculptor Kritios, “Kritios” Boy was created at the close of the Persian wars. I love how realistic this piece and others like it appear in comparison to the Kouroi before it. These sculptures are visibly relaxed and confident, perfectly emulation the Greek attitude of that era. The way the statue’s weight appears to be shifted onto one leg is the most significant factor in presenting the “Kritios” Boy as self-confident.

In The Tale of Kieu a young woman is forced into a lifetime of immorality and subservience to the dominant male culture of her community. The young woman at the heart of the story is not moral. However, her morality or not is really not what the story is about at all. Instead, it is the patriarchal society within Vietnam that is the true central character of the piece. In the history of Vietnam, members of the female gender have had a history of ostracism and oppression by the males of that society. Masculinity itself is found in the poem through the minor male characters of the piece. The character of Kieu is immoral because she is forced into actions against her own set of ethics by the society in which she lives. Morality is judged by the sociology of the surrounding culture. Under the moral rules of Vietnamese society, Kieu is immoral and the men around her who sexualize her and force her into immoral acts are in the moral right.

Ava purposely lowered her head, pretending to stare at her stubby fingers, acting as if she was oblivious to them. Making every effort to avoid drawing attention to herself. But, her eyebrows knitted together in a crease as she carefully looked out from beneath her

Trimmed closely at the neck, his silky black hair grew longer on top. A straight nose, dimpled cheeks and chin graced him with a look of nobility, but his tanned skin and muscular physique hinted at a tougher side.

The Cuban smiles, waving his hand dismissively at them before turning his attention back to the ice cream in front of him. It’s melting quickly, turning into a soupy mess, but it doesn’t stifle the hunger that gnaws at his stomach. Eating his dessert quickly, he decides not to

“He stood in the doorway in his long bathrobe. He had been in bed and his hair was slightly awry from the pillows and his face was a little pale. I have taken good care of him and he still looks young-not more than forty-but his cheekbones worry me. They are sharp and white.”(Rich 211-212)

When Athear Kalskelavth heard the distant strains of song drifting through the evening air like snow falling lightly on his shoulder, he knew he’d reached Orias Myth. Instead he stopped on the old stone roads and stood, listening, a clear distinct laugh in the distance, familiar yet a stranger to this barren landscape. A song soon followed, accompanied by a lute. It was sad yet beautiful and wise. Snowflakes drifted down silently to kiss his face and his horns, and yet he stood listening, heedless of the chill that crept into his limbs and scaly wings over the long travel to Orias Myth – a minor hold of the lupin. Lupins are a wolf like race, highly known around for their fierce loyalty and unwavering discipline. They are also famed for their fine craftsmanship of weaponry. Athear could not bring himself to take another step, fearing he might lose the song that had driven faintly into his ears.

'Now he was a strong straw-haired man of thirty, with a rather hard mouth and snobby manner. Two shinning bold and obnoxious eyes had established control over his face and gave him the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward' (Fitzgerald 7).

A tall, beautifully terrible goddess with four arms, a long tongue and fangs, Kali ‘devours all beings ’(SK 50)-an ambiguous figure of the feminine and the monster. The men’s recollection of Kali is of both awe and fear. Luczak marvels ‘at her beauty’-‘the dancers thighs’ and the ‘waist is high and impossibly narrow, widening to full hips’ (SK 158). Moreover, his dreamy intimate encounter with Kali accentuates his attraction to a great mating partner. Larger hip is more attractive as the gluteal fat is a resource for pregnancy and lactation and wider pelvis provides lower risks of obstructed labour (Lassek and Gaulin). Das recounts that the great dark beauty of the goddess is ‘the power to incarnate, a force beyond time or comprehension’ (SK

It must be terribly annoying to keep it up constantly.’ Marco frowns, but then, very slowly, his face begins to change. The goatee fades and disappears. The chiseled features become softer and younger. His striking green eyes fade to a green-tinged grey. The false face had been handsome, yes, but consciously so.” (pg. 276)

Well, it doesn't take long before the detective and the cop to know that Kat is crazy.
