Arcadia

Feral Children Susan ‘Genie’ Wiley: Born 1957 in Arcadia, California Genie was the victim of one of the most severe cases of neglect and abuse ever to be heard of. For most of her thirteen years of life she was strapped to a children’s potty with her arms and legs immobilised, or locked in a metal cage. Genie was raised in social insolation by her abusive Father, Clark Wiley. Clark lacked natural love as both his parents were not fully involved in his bringing; his Mother ran a brothel and his…

Hannah it emphasizes his inability to rise above the emotional aspect of his life, it’s an irrational behavior something intellectually gifted individuals have a hard time understanding. In the article "From Fears Of Entropy To Comfort In Chaos: Arcadia, The Waste Land, Numb3rs, And Man's Relationship With Science" the author discusses this very point, as she talks about how Stoppard creates a delicate balance between knowledge and emotion. As Septimus sequestered himself from the world out of…

Book of Nature illustrates 9 naked women and one clothed one drinking water from a fountain. The fantastic women were naked because of a common myth. It states that if a woman is pregnant and naked, she should drink water from a fountain in mythical Arcadia to prevent miscarriage. I believe the message of the picture ties with purification of the woman’s body. Christians believe that a baptized person has washed away his or her sins. The woodcut from the Book of Nature links with Mandeville’s…

A Jungian Psychoanalytic Approach to Zeus’s Defeat of Cronus Since the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung founded a series of analytical psychology theories first introducing the concept of “personal unconscious”, “collective unconscious” and “archetype” in 1953, an advanced Jungian psychoanalytic approach has been extensively applied to the interpretation of Art, literature and Greek myth. This essay will argue that Zeus’s behavior of defeating his father Cronus was…

The Cape Schanck House is like a box kite flying high above Bass Strait, twisting around its long axis as it dives into the top of the dunes. The Medhurst House is a glazed pavilion floating in Miesian serenity above serried rows of vines. In contrast to these ancient earthbound types, the Cape Schanck and Medhurst houses are based on a typology that defies architectural tradition and history. Rather than grounded, they appear airborne. The Cape Schanck House is a black elongated rectilinear…

portrays both the Arcadian England that is often “a memory and an ideal” in War literature (Raymond Williams, qtd. in Fussell 232), as well as its opposite, the “anti-pastoral deathscape” of the battlefield (Rae, Gilbert 185). This separation from Arcadia largely informs my idea of geographical distance behind fictive kinship. Likewise, “The Frailty” depicts a gender divide between fighting men and women at home who “don’t care / So long as He’s alright” (101). For these women, the war is a…

A Woman in A Man’s World “The Myth of Atalanta” is an insightful tale that has been around since the times of the archaic age of Greeks and Romans tackling the controversy of gender. Since the Neolithic Age, gender specific roles were put into place. Men detained most of the occupations that required constant intellectual power and muscles, while women did all the laissez-faire work that did not put their lives in jeopardy. Men were perceived to be better than women in every aspect of life…

Derek Alton Walcott was born in the Caribbean island paradise of Saint Lucia in the small port city of Castries on January 23, 1930 (Grimes). His work was strongly influenced by this Caribbean setting, the beauty of it, and the historical context of colonialism (Grimes; Campbell). Specifically, he explored themes of cultural chauvinism, political inequity, and ethnicity. He refused to accept the false Black/White dichotomy of race in the Caribbean, centralizing ethnicity in his work, he himself…
