Known as the ‘Russian Byron’, Mikhail Lermontov is revered for his radical interpretation of the Romantic antihero in A Hero of Our Time. He sought to fashion “a portrait built up from the vices of our whole generation” (Lermontov, preface), to create a character who would embody the spirit of the contemporary Russian man. In what would be his only prose work, Lermontov employs traits commonly associated with the Byronic hero as the basis for the character of his protagonist, Pechorin, such as…

In this play Fate is synonymous with Nature, taking a heavy toll of human life. Synge embodies this malicious aspect of Nature through the sea. Fate appears as the roaring sheet of water that plays the offstage protagonist, predetermining the lives of the characters. Comparable to the tragedies of Sophocles, Synge creates a looming tragic atmosphere through his premonitions of the future. The application of dramatic ironies such as the case of material brought by Maurya for Michael’s funeral…

Petrarch’s Canzoniere is a volume of 365 sonnets and songs that explore the poet’s desire for a woman who is beautiful but chaste, and therefore unattainable. The speaker’s inability to attain the woman’s love is a common thread weaving throughout these sonnets and songs and gave rise to the concept of Petrarchan love, a theme that many poets have since emulated. Sir Thomas Wyatt’s sonnet Whoso List to Hunt and Sonnet 67 by Edmund Spenser are adaptations of Petrarch’s Canzoniere sonnet, Rima 190…

Lord Durham was a politician who was sent to Canada to investigate the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions. He was appointed the governor general, and this made it possible for him to be in the position to get findings and report on them and at the same time provide recommendations. Lord Durham activities have been able to be criticized by other historians, and so this has been able to raise questions on his work. The main question was, is Lord Durham a racist or a Democrat? This was brought up…

live in, and to appreciate this new form of art in this new age. In one of our readings titled “No More Rules”, Pagner helps the reader understand the contrast of postmodernism as “this could entail the juxtaposition of old and new, or the witty inversion of the old” (Pagner 19). Warhol grasped this concept did this by taking a well known historical face and exploiting it into a piece of art. This is evident in his use of colourful pop art celebrity photographs, such as the iconic Marilyn Monroe…

fears of not being able to accomplish everything he would like to before he dies. The repetition of “when I” shows that the speaker still has some hope in completing his desires before he dies. However, near the end of the poem, the speaker uses inversion when he says “Of the wide world I stand alone” (13) to make the phrase more dramatic and meaningful. From this, readers can imagine the speaker standing on the edge of a cliff where he comes to a realization that he is just one person compared…

During the same decade, playwright and writer Alice Walker influenced a resurgence of Zora Neale Hurston’s publications on the Black…
