Futurist Manifesto”, embraces the rapid transformation of society. His world is composed of fast, powerful machines and strong, young citizens. The Manifesto also depicts an aggressive, violent, and unjust world that is devoid of any morals. Edgar Rice Burroughs is another author whose work, A Princess of Mars, addresses the future and its possibilities. It is the story of John Carter, an American Civil War Veteran, who is mysteriously transported to Mars or Barsoom

Tarzan of the Apes (1912), by Edgar Rice Burroughs is the original story that inspired numerous remakes, across all medias that have since been released, granting the name Tarzan fame-status universally. Having been remade and rebranded on numerous occasions, the story of Tarzan that the majority recognizes varies greatly from that of the original. Due to this fact, in addition to its unique elements and characteristics, Tarzan’s genre is ambiguous, varying when analyzed from different viewpoints

Disney’s nineteen ninety-nine film, Tarzan is based of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s novel; Tarzan of the Apes. Tarzan has had many adaptions made from it over the years that range from comical to more serious tones. Thus, I thought it would be a good film to analyze. Despite it being a little outside the ten-year range, I felt that Disney’s adaption of Tarzan is a timeless classic. The movie takes place in a jungle somewhere in Africa, set between the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds. Although

Recognition then leads to the so-called “scene of suffering” (Aristotle, 21). This part is the one which contains a

From lavish to savage is the underlying scheme in Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan of The Apes and his short story The Land That Time Forgot. These two works were widely read in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ time period, especially during World War I as he describes the racism during this time period. He particularly describes how the British were set aside and betrayed as the bad, but unknowingly the good.
