The Is Representative Of A. Y Gasset 's The Dehumanization Of Art Essay

In “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Scarlet Ibis” dark symbols and tones shape the plot, which allows man’s inhumanity to man, as a theme, to be expected. Both authors use imagery to allow readers to paint a picture of each setting in their mind. Also, each author adds in many symbols to make a concrete object into an abstract idea. In “The Cask of Amontillado” written by Edgar Allan Poe and “The Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst symbols, imagery, and the theme of man’s inhumanity to man are used to uniquely explain each story line.

James Hurst, the author of “The Scarlet Ibis”, and Edgar Allen Poe, the author of “ The Cask of Amontillado”, both display a theme of appearance versus reality.The appearance versus reality theme means that information one believes to be true may not be (at times). “The Scarlet Ibis” displays theme in relation to Doodle’s well-being while“The Cask of Amontillado” shows the lesson by how the use of verbal irony can be practiced to trick Fortunato, and how human emotions guide what Fortunato chooses to believe. Overall, “The Scarlet Ibis” and “the Cask of Amontillado” both effectively display the appearance versus reality theme in their own distinctive ways.

The gothic genre is typically very dark and mysterious, and one of the ways that Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe compliment and counteract this goal in their works “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Cask of Amontillado”, respectively, is with irony. Their masterful use of irony engages the reader in the work and invites them to consider the story and the characters’ intentions. The irony presented in “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe allows us to understand the emotions of the characters and the mood of the work, however, Poe utilizes irony to convey humor, while Hawthorne uses it to convey fear.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” is a goosebump-evoking tale that follows one man’s twisted plot for revenge. Although carnival season is in full-swing above ground, Fortunato finds himself being lead to his death underground in the catacombs. His “past insults” will ensure that he will never again participate in such feasts and merriment; Montresor, his “frenemy”, will make sure of that. As if the story isn’t creepy enough, Poe uses dialogue and sensory details to produce a mood that is both suspenseful and dark.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, Tender is the Night, Fitzgerald writes “He was so terrible that he was no longer terrible, only dehumanized”. This idea of how people could become almost unimaginably cruel due to dehumanization corresponds with the Jews experience in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the ruthless massacre of Jewish people, and other people who were consider to be vermin to the predetermined Aryan race in the 1940s. One holocaust survivor and victim was Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize winner and author of Night. Wiesel was one of the countless people to go through the horrors of the concentration camps, which dehumanized people down to their animalistic nature, an echo of their previous selves. Dehumanization worsens over time

It is often taught that to be persuasive, one must be clear and logical. In “The Wheelchair Butterfly,” James Tate takes a completely different approach; instead, he utilizes chaos to further his meaning and connect with a specific readership. Largely, it is Tate’s structure that reflects this chaos, and the meticulous arrangement of “The Wheelchair Butterfly” signifies that its setting and occurrences portray something more sinister than a bizarre and moderately grotesque town. Tate’s target readers for this elaborate, empathetically chaotic poem must be educated enough to be able to parse through his imagery, open to self-examination, and part of a society in a time of elevated social and political conflict. Thus, Tate gesticulates towards the hidden, systematic corruption common of societies with elevated social conflicts in a way that connects with the conflicted feelings his specific readership might feel towards this corruption in their own lives using elements of structure such as surreal imagery, enjambment, and simile. Using these elements, Tate attempts to relate to his readers by distracting them, creating a confusion versus clarity disparity, and transforming the nature of their concerns to make them softer and more acceptable. Because Tate’s target readers will attempt to decipher the poem’s hectic contents, these factors give readers an opportunity to examine themselves along with the poem. This highly empathetic and unconventional approach, similarly seen in Frank O’Hara’s “A Step Away From Them,” has its successes as well as its downfalls, mostly in terms of its range of readership. Though poems more explicit about their intentions, such as Lucille Clifton’s “[i am accused of tending to the past],” may be more accessible to a greater number of readers, some level of empathy is lost in their candor. The key difference between Tate and O’Hara’s poems versus Clifton’s poem, then, is a matter of being understood by a wide range of readers versus being compelling to a small group of readers. ?

Virgil Suarez’s poem, “Isla,” uses imagery and descriptive phrases for elicit sympathy to show that he is able to make a visual comparison of himself as an immigrant to Godzilla. One way Virgil Suarez uses imagery and a descriptive phrase for elicit sympathy are how he felt unwanted, exiled (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012). As a reader, the words “exiled” and “unwanted” bring out sympathy, especially for a twelve-year-old boy. This image affected me as a reader because I think of a sad, little boy alone, who has no one to talk to, not even his mother. The only thing he had was a television for company.

There were two principle views concerning imagination, the Victorians and the Romantics, who didn’t accept each other’s ideas about imagination. But, despite their clashes on the status and views of imagination, the Romantics and Victorians share similar ideas through different angles of perspective, which we could assume are linked in part to their era. The long poem, named Goblin Market, written by Christina Rossetti shows the contrast between the ideas of Romanticism and the Victorian image of imagination while utilizing the same motifs. Goblin Market centralizes its theme on the Victorian approach towards Imagination as being a destructive, alien force that

Edgar Allan Poe practices literature within use of the intrinsic qualities that possess the many definitions assigned to the word ‘literature’. Poe is an artist of words. He uses aesthetic, creative works of fiction to tell stories of drama and often horror. Poe’s’ literary genius is translated most commonly through his ingenious poetry and short stories. Consequently, it is his tendency to lace parts of his own personal life and views into his story-telling that causes critics to downplay the true art of the work by Poe. In this essay, the short story “The Cask of Amontillado,” will be analysed to make the argument that Poe is a serious writer through his use of proper literary aspects.

Edgar Allen Poe’s, “The Cask of Amontillado”, provides descriptive forms of imagery to create an appalling and foreboding mood. In the short story, the characters walk through catacombs in which “…The air is terribly damp. Drops of moisture trickle among the bones” (Poe, 1846). Poe’s descriptive imagery in the excerpt creates a foreboding mood because “drops of moisture” and damp air doesn’t fall under a joyful or pleasant mood.

Finally, the depiction of figure is perhaps the most interesting and intellectually challenging element in this piece. The figure, while emotionally withdrawn from the viewer, is physically imposing. She is looking down and away from the viewer, as if the isn’t aware that she is being watched. Her mask-like facial features also do little in the way of conveying emotion. Her body, however, is quite different. The dark thick lines shaping her muscles and limbs, the detail in the curls of her hair, the placement of her fingers, and her exposed breast all demand the attention of the viewers’ eye. The bold lines that define her legs, waist, and hip, make her seem intrusively part of our space. The awkward placement of her

As for according to Burke , in order for anything to be terrible , it has to be obscure ; hence anything that is considered as terrible can be considered as sublime ( 1990 : 53-55 ) . Thereupon , Goya’s depiction of the grotesque ,-notably by the usage of tiny strokes to create distorted marks within the witches obscure ,wrinkled and repulsive faces ; visually represents superstitious beliefs ,exposing and breaching the church’s corrupt conventions (Durkin , 2015 ). Their obscurity breaks conventions of aesthetic beauty . As for the ugly and grotesque are consistent with the idea of the sublime , however, it in itself isn’t the sublime idea , unless combined with qualities that excite a strong terror . ( Burke , 1990 )

I'm going to be explaining 3 glass stores that I've grow up with; I have many experiences with all of the stores, some I visit still while some have been just a few visits left for the past. They all are targeting the same consumers just all on different levels of the same market segment. All of the shops target people who buy glass whether they be glass pipes, glass marbles, glass sculptures, as well custom metal jewelry in some. The Degenerate art movement has recently taken major interest from many; recently a huge spike in new collectors, artists, as well many new galleries and stores. The Degenerate Art Movement I am talking about is basically the glass blowers out there who are going against the social norms. They are artists that are taking a medium used for art, and a medium that has been used to make pipes and bongs and fuse the 2 ideas of art and pipes or water pipes into one. They are using glass pipes as the way to portray their talent. To some they laugh at the fact, but what they don't know is that there are water pipes out there selling for anywhere from $1,000 all the way up to $30,000. To some they are recognized as modern day living Picasso’s, and others just dirty hippies making money off a drug culture. These artists don't just make pipes though; they make things such as glass marbles where beautiful images and mind-bending ideas are encased for one to view and enjoy forever. They make amazing things like cups and plates to eat off of. I've seen some

Sigmund Freud established and originated the psychoanalysis with the emphasis on helping the patients of neurotic illnesses. Freud formulated his method through Joseph Breuer’s hypnotic method that is the free association. He revolutionalized the ideas of how the human mind works; He challenged the long-standing identification of the self with the conscious thinking subject. Freud established the theory of the unconscious. This becomes a controversial one that is comparable to the Copernican revolution that the sun is the center of the universe and Darwin’s theory of evolution that man is a descent of the apes; in this analogy, Freud, argued that a large part of what makes up the mind is often hidden from the subject person as a conscious
