    The role of the artist in society is often a tragic one; the lives of the artists of the past generally revolved around living a life of poverty in order to showcase their ideas to society. Artists who openly expressed unpopular ideas were punished (could suffer negative reception) while the rest (some) succumbed to drugs or illness. In the scene following his fatal wounding by Tybalt, Mercutio’s statement “ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man,” depicts the vulnerability of artists at the time by using the homonym on grave to suggests his future of either being miserable or dead.

    Tragedy doesn’t always have to lack aspects of gore or blood that make peoples’ stomachs turn. In fact, some tragedies may have a lot of horror to them to what may happen to a person; however, when a horrific tragedy occurs to someone close to a person, then that person may be driven to seek a terrible and bitter revenge in honor of the other person. In the years between the late 1580s and early 1590s William Shakespeare wrote his first tragedy, which can now even be a horror story. The story by itself has several themes that can be discussed, and be compared to a similar story which takes place in book six of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In this paper, I will have two main points that show the similarities between Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare and Metamorphoses by Ovid.…

It is my argument here Jacobs makes use of double-consciousness by using a pseudonym to show there was more to slavery and puts the divisions between gender on a stage. Harriet Jacob’s autobiography is a popular female eighteenth-century slave narrative.…
