When Dante hears his name, he then recognizes Ciacco as a man who was cheerfully unconcerned about future. Dante the Pilgrim shows sympathy to him and tells him: “Ciacco, your distress weighs upon me so that it moves me to tears.”…

    A story cannot be spoken of as the product of any individual, but must be treated as the product both of its author and the culture that embraced it. A piece of literature can, therefore, act as an almost living representation of a whole culture’s sense of identity. By analyzing the major themes in several pieces of literature, from ancient epics to those more modern, I will herein demonstrate a gradual change in human identity. I will present aspects of famous epics that show how the individual man has gradually superseded the community as the focal point of epic literature. These aspects are, namely, a humanization of the hero, and a shift in the hero’s benefactors.…
