Berenice

later dying himself behind a bar with no clear reason on how he died. ( Childhood, Poe ) It is no wonder that Poe wrote his stories to vent out his pain and frustrations. He often wrote stories that included subtle clues to his life. In one example, Berenice, he wrote about a man who was engaged to his cousin and had an unhealthy obsession with her teeth as she succumbs to a deadly disease. ( Writer, Poe ) Minus the unhealthy obsession with teeth, the man who married his cousin who was dying of a deadly

Leo is one of the earliest recognized and simplest constellations in the sky to find (Zimmermann 2017). From the northern hemisphere it can be seen between the months of January and June and is located by finding the bottom two stars of the Big Dipper’s cup and moving straight out from them until you see the sickle shape (Christoforou 2017). In western culture, the constellation is said to have been discovered by the Sumerians and Egyptians. Around 10,500 BC, the Egyptian Sphinx would have faced

Although a character of few pages and few words, I find Honey Brown to be the most compelling and intriguing figure of The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers. Honey Brown, the foster brother of Berenice, drifts into the story only a handful of times, but his presence, even in the shadows of the scenes, creates a growing curiosity for the reader and ignites a profound empathy for his account. His quiet and stunted dialogues and solemn nature create an enigmatic yet noteworthy narrative.

The wonderful play of Chicago was full of many creative and talented people that helped make the play happen in the first place. Chicago was co-written by the wonderful team of Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse. All the music in the play was written by John Kander and the lyrics were written by Fred Ebb. Bob Fosse was born on the Northern side of Chicago in 1927, Fosse at very young age in his childhood began learning how to dance (“Maslon, Laurence, and Michael Kantor”). Fosse formed a soft-shoe duo with

Tryphaena seized the crown but died shortly afterward in suspicious circumstances. It is believed, though not proven by historical sources, that Berenice IV poisoned her so she could assume sole rulership. Regardless of the cause, she ruled until Ptolemy Auletes returned in 55 BC, with Roman support, capturing Alexandria aided by Roman general Aulus Gabinius. Berenice was imprisoned and executed shortly afterward, her head allegedly being sent to the royal court on the decree of her father, the

The people of Macedon, especially royalty, practiced polygamy. For women, this meant that their purpose was to have children. However, while many women did give birth, they often proved themselves otherwise. Women like Olympias, Adea-Eurydice, or Berenice II held what power they were able to and used it to their advantage. These women would often operate in secret or with a man, to mask their intentions. Through various conquests, mainly instigated by Alexander the Great, Macedonian men began to marry

women in his short stories. Because there were so many deaths with women it is hard to tell which ones are portrayed in his short stories but we know that they had a for sure impact. One of the first stories he wrote having to do with girls was “Berenice” a story about a man who rips out his dead lover 's teeth but then comes to realize she is still alive(Lepore 1). Another story of tragedy striking a girl is in “The Fall of the House of Usher

In the following you will see that Poe himself states that he prefers the topic of a dying woman, and how his personal life may have influenced his writing. Poe’s uses great detail when describing his leading ladies. In the stories of Ligeia and Berenice, although the format is quit different, Poe’s description helps his reader form a vivid image of each of these women. You will also see that the stories are named after their principle female character, and in some way or another both of these women

“I grew, day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feelings of others. I suffered myself to use intemperate language to my wife. At length, I even offered her personal violence.” This line comes from the story The Black Cat written by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe has been proclaimed the “Father of Gothicism” by many due to his grotesque short stories and poems. Gothic writers had their characters be more “prone to sin and self-destruction” than any other movement had experienced (Poets
