Goths

Gender Norms Aren’t Norm Anymore! I came rushing up the stairs and yelling for Isabella to hurry up. I wasn’t going to be late again just because she didn’t want to get up. Three minutes later she came barreling down the stairs from her room, went straight to the coat rack near the front door, and threw on her black leather jacket.

Visuals and the Violated: Women in Julie Taymor’s Titus Up until the past few decades, Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus was never taken seriously by critics or audiences. As a revenge tragedy set in ancient Rome, the story is one of never-ending, over the top violence, which viewers may find hard to sit through without rolling their eyes, or at least becoming entirely desensitized. When Julie Taymor created the film version of this text, Titus, in 1999, she attempted to utilize visual…

barbarism, works of witches, scientific innovation, and bold architecture to accompany specific needs. Medievalism extended its characteristics to the late 1700s, in which Gothic literature came about. The term “gothic” originally pertained to the Goths, who were members of a Germanic tribe that…

directors, and so they avoided Whitehall and Hyde Streets, the freeway and the Westgate Bridge. Paolina wore a black dress, black stockings and shoes. If Ashleigh was alive she would’ve teased her grandmother about being dressed in black. ‘You’re a Goth,’ she would’ve said, ‘just missing a tattoo and a few piercings.’ And if it wasn’t Ashleigh that was dead but some elderly relative, Alex, Rae…

It is not uncommon for cathedrals in the Byzantine Empire to be used as status of prosperity and power, rather than being solely places of worship. San Vitale is known for the incredible mosaics that create a focus on Justinian, Theodora, and other political figures which make it more of a glorification of the emperor than a religious building.

Also, "the unmistakable sound of The Cure’s gloomy post-punk pop gave rise to Goth rock, but also, Smith’s masterful orchestration balanced his punk roots with pop sensibilities and tipped the band into the mainstream, making it one of the most important bands to come out of- and survive- the 80’s” (Lopez, Korina).…

The movement is seen as a reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment. Gothic literature also shares some characteristics with Romanticism (par. 1). For example…

Over the years, social critique has developed due to the fact that females do not have enough equality nor power. Female empowerment has become so universal that it has become sort of a pop culture phenomenon. It is the root for all the other branches that come with it like body-shaming, acceptance and bullying. The comedic movie Mean Girls was released about 13 years ago; however, many themes are still present in today’s society, especially its accurate description of high school. Mean Girls…
