Man was endowed with extreme generosity to his fellow dispossessed of all good. So I think that his supposed madness, was but the exaltation of his love of art, by their peers and by life, which added to its extreme and difficult poverty and misunderstood love life would take him to accompany your loneliness with the generous consumption of an alcoholic beverage known as "Wormwood", which in the end, like all the alcohol abuse and poor diet, would transform it into one of their victims for damages induced Neurotoxicants and very particular of Ajenjo.Es For this reason I think that has been called crazy erratically, when deep down, he was a profoundly original impressionist, prompting him to overcome the investigations of other impressionists; why his painting is sensory and expresses the power of his temperament and his idealism, which is well reflected in his famous canvas, "Les mangeurs of pommes de terre" (The Potato Eaters), where the expressionism of the figures, announced that he induced changes in academic rules of the time. …show more content…

    In today’s world, the genre of romance has a very different connotation than it did over 150 years ago. Nowadays, romance novels are typically about two people falling in love and living happily-ever-after. However, in the beginning to mid 1800’s, the idea of Romance didn’t have much to do with relationships. The era of Romanticism was one that was marked by a strong contrast against the ideals of the more scientific Enlightenment that had occurred some years previously. It is in this period that many famous writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, and many more first made their presence known as serious American authors.…

    Considering his arguments, however, it is not so difficult to, at the very least, comprehend the surface of his somewhat radical views on the dangers of the arts. It does not accurately reflect reality, which in turn can create a false image of the truth, spread by the individual who perceives it in that way. He argues that although we do get enjoyment from art, art in excess can change our own behaviours for the worse. In the end, art can only ever depict outward appearances to the ignorant observer, and that, in itself, is very dangerous…

    Edgar Allan Poe's repeated use of imagery conveys the his message of one being manipulated by one's own guilt and fear. One of the first examples of imagery is the narrator's description of the old man's blue eye. He claims the old man's "eye was like the eye of a vulture," and describes the continual "cold feeling" he experiences every time he sees the blue eye. The narrator's utilization of the dynamic imagery is to support his his actions as sane as he claims the old man's vulture preys upon the weak and dying, so he must rid it from this world. His obsessive nature is conveyed through his descriptions of the eye throughout the story, saying it always gives him a "cold feeling" and therefore he must get rid of the eye.…

    Theodore expertly uses intricate examples of imagery that both accentuates and deepens the underlying tone and meaning of the story. He creates a perplexing poem by effectively giving the necessary details to move the story along; yet not enough to leave no room for individual imagination and perception. By using exceptional word choice he creates a tone of nostalgia that further enhances the imagery, which, to me, personally, makes it feel almost dizzying. The characters, lacking specific facial descriptions, make the poem inclusive to everyone- the readers can make them whoever they want them to be.…

    He dug himself out of his depression with the help of his wife, but unfortunately spiraled back down after her sudden death. To illustrate the darkness of his works, he is known as the Father of Poetic Horror, though the title is not needed, because his works are a true testament to that. He uses repetition and rhythm to state a point, while showing true emotion in his work. He uses rhyme in many of his works to show his feelings and positions on the topics he speaks about. Lastly he uses dark Irony, sometimes to antagonize people in his poems, and sometimes, to show his hatred and ill will towards characters, who in his mind transition into the real world.…

    While Edgar Allan Poe is known primarily for his horror stories and gothic poems, he is also generally credited for the creation of modern detective fiction. In the three short stories featuring the Frenchman, C. Auguste Dupin, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “The Mystery of Marie Roget,” and “The Purloined Letter,” Poe’s creative story components were innovative and added entirely new elements to fiction writing. Many of the story features that he devised are now widely used in other well-known fictional detective tales, says critic E.F. Bleiter, “Poe not only improved on such elements as he borrowed, but with his remarkable structural sense worked out a viable form that served as a model for thousands of successors.” His Dupin stories…
