With Ophelia, it is clear that Hamlet has deep feelings towards her. At the beginning of the play, in Act 1, scene iii, Ophelia speaks of how she is aware of Hamlet’s

John Donne and Gertrude Stein are considered shapers of metaphysical poetry and modern poetry respectively, and the way they manipulate their poetry reflects the ideas of their literary periods. Gertrude Stein, as a cubist poet, plays with diction, syntax, and punctuation to impart meaning. Meanwhile, John Donne, as a metaphysical poet, relies more on the use of imagery and conceits to illustrate the purpose of his poems. Inspired by modern artists like Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein was determined

In Tender Buttons, Gertrude Stein uses her method of “proetry” to paint not only descriptions of subjects around her in the domestic sphere, but also to illustrate their meaning as well. At first glance, Stein’s sentences and stream-of-consciousness narrations seem nonsensical and almost impossible to understand their meaning, and, in some cases, are absolutely frustrating to the reader who hopes to understand them and see the meaning behind them. However, this work is not intended to be read by

Through experimentation they were able to find an identity that they were comfortable with. Gertrude Stein found a voice when she wrote about her life from the point of view of her partner Alice B. Toklas. When it comes to writers talking about themselves they couldn’t help but use the words and actions of their own characters, to create an idea

important in scene 2 was an imagery of Claudius and Gertrude in the stateroom. They are surrounded with the great honor and trumpets. The new king shows his glory and power. Claudius asserts his reign with a note that they could not afford grief and had to celebrate without any delays. This hurry is important because Danish army was approaching them. This scene was important because Hamlet immediately felt the cynicism of Claudius and Gertrude. For example, he said, “"A little more than kin, and

Through a multiplicity of layers, Gertrude Stein’s rhythmic poem “Susie Asado” evokes images of an ardent dancer, a formal tea party, and overtones of desire and lust. Picasso’s “Ma Jolie,” an analytical cubism painting, depicts Eva Gouel, Picasso’s lover at the time, playing a guitar or zither. These two modernist works portray the female figure, a traditional staple in the classical art world, with a newfound zeal and grit. This portrayal, connected with music and rhythm, demonstrates how both

Those six words by Gertrude Stein act as a foreword for the novel, a story about a wandering group of expatriates, drowning their sorrows in liquor and bullfights and glittering Paris lights, but also as the defining label for an entire generation of doomed youth coming to age in a society deeply affected by World

Gertrude Stein was not always known as a writer. She became

Gertrude Stein may not be the most well known short story author, but she certainly earns a spot as one of the most interesting and influential modern authors. Before embarking on a fruitful career as a writer, Stein served as an ambulance driver for the French during the First World War with her life partner, Alice B. Toklas. She and Toklas resided in France along with other notable authors including Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. With her brother Leo, Stein collected works from famous artists

William Carlos Williams “Philomena Andronica” and Gertrude Stein’s “Identity, a poem” are both visually and tonally very different texts. However, Stein and Williams have both used similar approaches to literary form in their poems as can be seen in their non-traditional approach to meaning generation and rejection of grammatical convention. The poems also both show an interest in the notion of identity and it’s fluidity, although Stein employs repeated images in her investigation whilst Williams
