Inferno (2nd half) The three beasts (the leopard, lion, and she-wolf) that threaten Dante in his quest to get to the sunlight all represent different types of sin.

satisfied with his title as thane and life as a “worthy gentleman” but sought more power and in doing this, lost everything he had once valued so preciously before. Macbeth had succumbed to his “vaulting ambition” which also has similarities with Faust who gave up his life where he originally “flourished” because he “wanted more.” In Macbeth, one of the most striking aspects of their relationship is the power shift between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth’s dominant attitude and fierce…

A major component of Romanticism is nature. Romantics tend to incorporate nature in many of their works whether it be a painting or a poem. One could say that they were very raw artists. Inspiration…
