THE TRAGIC MODE IN OSCAR WILDE’S FAIRY TALES DÉBORAH SCHEIDT, Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa ABSTRACT: In this paper we examine the articulation of the tragic mode in Oscar Wilde‟s collection of fairy tales The Happy Prince and Other Stories, especially in “The Young King”, “The Selfish Giant” and “The Birthday of the Infanta.” By “tragic mode” we mean, in this context, the vestiges left by Greek tragedy and its development, the Elizabethan tragedy, in a piece of nineteenth century fiction

The Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, outlined a theory of tragedy as archetypal drama in his classic work, the Poetics. He uses the play by Sophocles, Oedipus the King (hereafter "Oedipus"), as the standard model by which all other tragedies are measured. In Aristotle's view, a perfect

When the revival of the arts and literature occurred throughout Europe in between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, the theater became prevalent in society. This time period is commonly known as the Renaissance, which is the French word for rebirth. Prior to the Renaissance, much of the plays were religious and didactic; however, as older models given by Seneca and Plautus resurfaced, playwrights began to develop what is known as Elizabethan Drama. This term primarily originates from the time

The rabbinic approach is the rabbis and religious people’s point of view on a story. Studying the rabbinic approach can add to the understanding of Genesis 11:1-9 because rabbis compare texts to other texts in the Tanakh or verses of a text. They look for the similarities to help us interpret the story. This makes us compare characters or words said throughout the story. This helps us understand the text better. For example, the rabbinic approach compares Genesis 11:4 with Genesis 11:2. the people

Is dance a sport? Many people right now are thinking “How is the harlem shake or the cupid shuffle a sport?”, but that is not what we are talking about, we are talking about dance sports and teams. “But Sport is in the name DANCESPORT” is what some are saying now, but many still don't accept this kind of dance as a sport yet. There are two sides to this argument, those who are for dance as a sport are usually those who are in a dance sport or are educated in the subject. While those who are against

in one piece. Overall, The Book of Akbar had multiple outstanding pieces but the emotion in this particular page is what caught my attention. Although I did not study the other pages as intensely as this one, it is clear to see that Abul Fazlt’s technique is spectacular throughout each and every page. This painting is historical, depicting a young Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana being received by Akbar after his family was killed.

Dance meets the requirements to even be an Olympic sport. Dance should be considered

The full influence of Greek tragedy upon our modern theatre is incomprehensible, with the mainstays of theatrical convention largely demonstrating roots within Greek tragedy. The choric function is just one of these conventions. This essay hopes to explore various uses of the Chorus within Greek tragedies by Aeschylus and Sophocles, and then to analyse how traits of a Greek Chorus, and the choric function can be found within 20th Century Theatre. The Chorus in Greek tragedy was a large group (it

For example, the second half of the third stanza is a bitter accusation to the government, who had said that dying in the war would be sweet and fitting for your country by using his own friend’s death to contradict this claim with several writing techniques to describe it. Firstly, Owen expresses how fighting in the war isn’t as sweet and fitting as the government had described to the young soldiers using various similes describing how tiring and stressful it is to fight in the war. For example, ‘Bent
