The themes of classicism related to art, literature, and mythology are specifically woven around the persona of Aschenbach in Mann’s novella, Death in Venice. Artfully crafted, a reader easily identifies with the narrator’s condescending attitude, but also questions the true purpose of Mann’s allusions. Mann would have the reader closely identify with Aschenbach’s love of classical literature and beauty as justification for Aschenbach’s behavioral decline. However, the mood of this novella…

When describing a leader, some might use adjectives such as fearless, strong, smart or confident. I have had the pleasure of working with leaders that contained those attributes and have had the dissatisfaction of working with leaders that were sub-par. Working with a variety of leadership styles over the past six years has given me the opportunity to form lists of ideal do’s and don’ts that I plan to use when I move into administration. Over the past few weeks, my lists have been further…

However hard an artist tries to separate his work from the tricky games of politics, his efforts turn out to be futile as the artist’s own idea in his work is a political…

With Uranus, Gaea gave birth to the three…
