Narrative Voice In Daedalus

The Armenian Genocide left the Armenians in ruin. Apart for the human and material loss, the sociocultural loss was most significant. The Armenians were robbed of their centuries old, rich culture within in a space of a year. Their society was forced into diaspora in order to survive. This movement encouraged integration into other countries and resulted in partial loss of the suffering Armenian culture.

W. H. Auden, living during 1907-1973, is a man of class. He loved to visit an art gallery, which was called “Museum of Beautiful Art” (In French: Musee des Beaux Arts). Like T. S. Eliot, he was both an American poet and a British poet. Going back to Auden visiting the art gallery, he stared at this one painting. He stared at it for an extended amount of time, trying to determine what the piece of art meant. The piece of art, which Auden was trying to decode, was called “The Fall of Icarus” (The painter is a man named Brueghel). In Brueghel’s painting, the focus is on Icarus, but you barley notice the boy himself. It is very important to know the story of Daedalus and Icarus to fully understand this painting, poem, and essay. If you do not know the story, then go read it and then come read this to acquire the full grasp of what I am trying to emit out in words. The reason why there is a poem by W. H. Auden, is because when Auden looks at the painting he sees something so profound. So profound, he writes a poem about it. The things he finds so profound is, 1)

In the play, Equus, by Peter Shaffer, Dysart speaks to “both the large in the theatre and the smaller one on stage”about his concerns. There the concerns that he addresses are that he feels as if he is “lost” and cannot reach his goals, like a “bit forbids it, and [his] own basic force…is too little” to overcome it.(18) Dysart is a commendable psychiatrist who works in a psychiatric hospital, and he is not completely . Dysarts initial speech has several effects such a establishing Dysart as a character, the speech also results in the establishment of the dramatic features of the play as a whole, for example, conflicts and theme.

In real life Shakespeare has a tragic event occur, the death of his son, Hamnet. His way of mourning and dealing with death was to write the tragedy, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Shakespeare uses Hamlet as a mirror to express his overwhelming despair. As said by an article written by Peter Bray, “ It is suggested that in creating Hamlet, Shakespeare must have drawn upon some profound personal experiences.” (Bray) Through Hamlet’s pain Shakespeare mirrors his own feelings of being lost and depressed. Within the play there is a common theme, the mourning of death and how it varies from man to man. Young Hamlet locks himself away and contemplates suicide saying. “To be or not to be”(3.1.57). He ponders whether given his current life situation it is better to exist or to not have existed at all. Another message Shakespeare wishes to get across is that proper mourning takes a substantial amount of time, this is something Claudius and his mother do not understand. In a scene with Claudius and Hamlet they say, “ How is it that the clouds still hang on you? / Not so, my lord. I am too much i' the sun.”(1.2.66-67). Claudius wonders why Hamlet has not moved on yet, but based on the reader’s knowledge how would the king know what it is like to lose someone he’s lost? He does not understand the struggle of overcoming death and the amount of time it takes. This arguably could be an insight into the real life of

Albert Camus' devices and literary intelligence make it very clear that the melancholy of the town was to the extent that All Souls' Day was neglected. It is seen by a turning point, “But these familiar aspects of All Souls' Day could not make us forget that the cemeteries were left unvisited”. This turning point suggests that All Souls' Day did not occur as it was previously suggested through earlier devices, mainly due to the already prevalent grief towards the dead. Albert Camus' metaphors clearly clarifies this, “they (the dead) were no longer the forsaken to whom...you came to justify yourself” and “they (the dead) were intruders whom you would rather forget”.Also, these metaphors give insight to the attitude of the townspeople towards their dead, that the extended period of thinking and grief over their dead has caused them not

The painting shows Icarus drowning and no one realizes. Which make the story sad and if Daedalus's was in the painting it would be even sadder because. The father sees his son drowning and can't do anything and what the father feels when he's seeing his own son drowning that makes the painting sadder. The moral is that sometimes when someone is suffering other people can be in front of that person and won't realize.

In The Awakening, author Kate Chopin uses a narrative voice that shifts between the third person limited, recounting Edna Pontellier’s innermost thoughts and feelings and the third person omniscient, that examines the perception of her by the people closest to her while she is absent, to recount the tale of Edna Pontellier. Using these two alternating narrative voices allows for the absence of Edna in certain scenes, this allows for the reader to experience her through the eyes of the people around her, and ultimately gain a deeper, more comprehensive, understanding of the inner and outer forces that shaped her perception of life and marriage.

The story of Daedalus and Icarus, reflected Ovid’s changing thoughts and morals of his personal life as he undergoes the life changing event of getting exiled by Emperor Augustus, through the characters of the poem.

Demonta indicated he was with a few of his friends on the date of his offense. His friends indicated they were going to rob a house they had been casing for a few days.

He never pointed a gun at anyone and he did not damage anyone’s

Losing a loved one can be difficult, hard, and can even drive a person insane. In Shakespeare’s play Hamlet death takes its toll on the entire royal family. When King Hamlet died, it caused Claudius to take the thrown and the hand of queen Gertrude. As soon as the King and Queen hear about how mad Hamlet has gone they discuss the idea of death and wonder if the thought of death or not mourning the made him go crazy. Claudius quotes, “When sorrows come, they come not single spies. But in battalions” (3.4.52-53). This quote symbolizes that death brings sorrow and how this is a view on death. Although mourning is common between characters in the beginning of the play, views on death become different and apparent among

Grief can consume any soul. Hamlet and Antigone experience the common emotion that is sorrow. Death is never an easy reality to face. Antigone resorts to disobeying her very own king to find peace in her loved family member’s death. Antigone states to her sister Ismene “I myself will bury him. It will be good to die, so doing. I shall lie by his side, loving him as he loved me.” (page 1213 line 82-84). Death means nothing to Antigone as long she can put her mind to rest that her loved brother is properly buried. She will achieve this act to lessen her grief even if it results in the end of her young life. Hamlet also begins the play with a recent death of a loved one. Hamlet not only lost a family member but is also facing the betrayal of another. His grief goes past death but is grief nonetheless. Hamlets love for his father is evident. His misery clings to him and is so obvious that even his own mother states “Good Hamlet, cast thy knighted color off, and let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Do not for ever with thy vailed lids” (1109 line 68-70). This melancholy is what ultimately pushes him to decide to seek justice for his fathers murder.

In Ovid’s “The Story of Daedalus and Icarus”, Ovid uses characterization to make the characters realistic and vivid and to reveal plot through the characters’ actions, thoughts, speech and physical appearance. Without the characterization of Daedalus and Icarus, understanding “The Story of Daedalus and Icarus” completely is not possible. Ovid hides important pieces of the plot in the text, and wants the readers to reveal the true meaning of the story by looking into the characteristics of the main characters, Daedalus and Icarus. With the view of their wants and responsibilities, the story becomes clear to the reader and the purpose of this story in a poem is revealed.

“The truest characters of ignorance are pride and arrogance. This quote by Samuel Butler is truer than gold in the two greek myths Phaethon and Daedalus and Icarus. The protagonists of both stories boastful,arrogant and prideful natures lead them to their agonizing deaths and downfall. The two myths would be lifeless and stale without the use of of literary elements like conflict,imagery,and and characterization. Conflict shapes the story,Imagery foreshadows and provides color,and characterization develops the characters personalities and behaviors. These elements are how the authors were able to teach the lesson in the theme. The two stories’ main characters, Phaethon and Daedalus and Icarus share the same moral theme of a prideful disregard from those elder and wiser can quickly lead to disastrous consequences,existing thanks to these literary elements.
