Jessica Crupi 2371771 HUMN 3B02 Lee Slinger The Romantic era was a period of war and revolutionary combat. War and rebellion were essential elements that influenced the flow of ideas in this period. An entire generation of European writers, composers, and artists were influenced by these events. War inspired romantic artists to address themes of liberty and democracy, while considering the function of revolution as an opportunity for political and social change. Writers used the spirit of the revolution to distinguish their poetic sensibilities.
How does chapter 13 foreshadow the doomed relationship between Pelagia and Mandras? In Chapter 13 are some of the first references to Pelagia and Mandras’ doomed relationship. It becomes obvious that Pelagia and Mandras are not soul mates as their relationship is one based mainly on their looks and lust. De Bernières uses narration and symbolism to foreshadow later events and, ultimately, the end of their relationship. The first method used to foreshadow is symbolism throughout the extract.
How does Shakespeare introduce the main themes of The Tempest in act 1? Shakespeare’s characterisation in the play plays a pivotal role in encapsulating the ever so controversial themes The Tempest effusively conveys. The era of the play is the Jacobean and all such Jacobean context creates the foundation on which the play is written and hence viewed due to the inextricable link between politics and theatre. Polysemy is another pivotal area in which Shakespeare fashions this play. Upon his characterisation of the protagonist, Prospero, Shakespeare leaves various parallels between Prospero and himself through Prospero’s creation of the enigma that is the tempest.
The play demonstrates that state and patriarchal power is enforced not only physically, but by aesthetic means. We understand by aesthetic means whats concerns to the art and beauty. In this play sexual passion and the need for individual liberty are always transformed to an imaginary artistic level. The second case we can find in theAmazon Hippolyta who expressed her rejection about her marriage with the Duke Theseus. But the violence of the Theseus conquest over Hippolyta was to be turned into beauty, aestheticised.
Shmoop Editioral Team acknowledges the speaker's experience with romantic “desire”. “Desire” has taught him that passionate or hot emotions like love and lust would probably have the ability to turn the earth into a big fiery fireball (Shmoop Editorial Team). He has also experienced the other extreme, and he knows that colder emotions like “hate” “Is also great / And would suffice” (8-9). Frost uses many techniques, musical devices, and figurative language to convey the meanings in the poem. One technique he uses is connotations in the word “fire”.
Sexual Violence and the Victorian Era: Oppressive Social Forces in Robert Browning’s Printable Version By Christine Utz Robert Browning’s poem “Porphyria’s Lover” is a social representation of the Victorian era, which supported the creation of dominant and sexually abusive men. During the nineteenth century, Victorian ideals determined the guidelines for social etiquette. A traditional regime of patriarchy flourished under the strict gender stratifications of the time period. However, tensions grew between the sexes in both the political and domestic realms and gender violence surfaced in response to the heightened conflicts. Robert Browning was born into this conservative time period, but was able to employ expressive freedom through literature.
Pope used various tools to convey his satirical views on society, such as the formatting of the story as an epic, hyperbole, and comparisons throughout the story to battle. Pope also wrote The Rape of the Lock specifically to diffuse the tensions between the family of Arabella Fermor, who is portrayed as Belinda, and the family of Baron Robert Petre, who is the real-life counterpart of the Baron. In addition, Pope intended to call attention to the main flaws of women during the 18th century and to the fact that society itself was setting uncomfortably high standards for itself by using the epic form when they were not, in Pope’s eyes, worthy of epic poetry and the intensity and seriousness that is involved with those poems. Alexander Pope used several important and prominent tools of the 18th century to achieve the satirical tool that is conveyed throughout The Rape of the Lock. The first tool Pope used to convey the use of satire was the format in which it was written.

When Celia is talking about Rosalind to the Duke she describes her relationship with her in great detail. ‘I did not then entreat to have her stay,
Chopin's involved descriptions and eloquent details of the affair are all rhetorically brought to life through the constant changing of the storm. The story's theme implies that adultery, although a sin by God, is a natural tendency that does not always result in negative consequences. In my opinion, "The Storm" is symbolic of the turmoil Calixta was experiencing in regards to her tumultuous life. In comparison, "The Storm" also symbolizes Chopin's beliefs in feminine strength and sexuality and the struggles that came with those beliefs in that era. Through her use of symbolism, she revealed the battle between good and evil, and morality versus reality in the confines of an oppressive society.
