further exotic subjects. Delacroix Debuted at the paris salon of 1822 where he exhibittes his frist painting Dante and virgil in hell which was inspired by Dante’s Divine comedy but influenced by Michelangelo and Paul Peter Rubens style as I said above. later on, as his experience keep growing and his style maturing ,Delacroix painted The abduction of Rebecca ,a oil on canvas painting that was exhibited in the salon of 1846. It was an illustration of scene 31 in Ivanhoe, a book written by sir Walter Scott. The story goes : “A century after the battle of hasting in 1066, the king of England, Richard the lion-hearted, was made prisoner by the duke of Austria. Prince john wanted to seize the thrown and hoped that the norman would help him. Wilfred of invanhoe was deshintertied by his father because he was in love with Rowena and allied with the king of England. Therefore he wins the tournament where he suffered severe wounds . Rebecca was the one taking care of him. On their way home from the tournament, Ivanhoe was captured by De Bracy who wants Rowena as his wife. They were taken to the castle of Front-de-Boeuf and imprisoned there. The black knight attacked the castle and set it on fire as it is shown in the background of the painting. the beautiful Rebecca was carried off by two Saracen slaves at the command of Christian Knight Bois –Guilbert.” The painting is a great example of Romanticism. The colors used by the artist gives you a feeling of doom, of chaos. The…

Normans, Saxons and Jews dwell on the island of pre-established England. Because all these separate civilizations have different beliefs and value vastly different things, it’s no wonder that people got a little hostile. There is much racial prejudice between characters in Ivanhoe. The lives between these characters were greatly influenced because of this xenophobia in various ways. It shaped people’s romantic relationships and affected their lifespans. One of the main themes of the film seems…

This claim raised many disputes, but found its confirmation in the “Original of Rebecca in Ivanhoe” article by Gratz Van Rensselaer published in The Century Magazine, v.24, 1882. In this article Sir Walter Scott did not hide his delight of success of the created prototype for the figure of Rebecca in Ivanhoe. Another important fact in this article was the information about the sending of the first copy of the book upon its completion to Irving with addressing him several questions on getting…

Their discouraged relationship forms amidst the tense, and very real, rivalries between the Normans and Saxons, and the Christians and Jews.

skill. But the most predictable of events happens. If you had to guess what happens next what would you say? I would say that a great but mysterious knight that no one had ever heard off came to challenge these knights of the tournament. This knight would off course challenge the strongest of the tournaments knights and off course point with the pointed end of the joust. The strongest knight of the tournament is Front-de-Boeuf who of course seems to be the villain of all villains in Ivanhoe.…

The Ivanhoe “fan fiction” by Billy Adams describes a situation where Isaac and Ivanhoe escape an unfamiliar “figure” coming at them. In the story Isaac takes down the figure and then he and Ivanhoe continues as planned. This story uses a suspenseful hook, surprising action, and an open ended conclusion to captivate the reader. The fan fiction written by Billy Adams was compelling. The first sentence creates suspense, making the reader want to continue reading the story. It says, “He turns to…

Chapter 25 support and expand the interpretation, respectively. For the Laozi to begin it’s first sentence with an expression describing The Way is both meaningful and ironic. On a general level, the Dao can be understood as the proper path that one must follow. In Chapter 1 it is presented as a constant, moving process. It is not static. Rather, it adapts to the times and must be interpreted in context. Analyzing the first sentence, “a Way that can be followed is not a constant way” (Ivanhoe…

the same idea that Jews have of Cardinals wrapped in sinful red ascending to robes of white, facing the problems of the world and taking a public stand against them, persevering against odds. Those aforementioned deep-rooted issues sewn into society are the ones requiring the most amount of risk, whether that be to your life or reputation, and those demanding active effort, sticking out, necessitating not fearlessness, but the backbone to face your fears. Harper Lee finally uses the symbolism…

Golden Ages through the way. Confucius advocated going back to an ideal society where people followed propriety. This is shown in the text when Duke Jing of Qi asks Confucius about governing. Confucius responded, “Let the rulers be a true ruler, the ministers true ministers, the fathers true fathers, and the sons trues sons.” (Ivanhoe and Van Norden 2001,33). Confucius sets a clear relationship system in his ideal society, everyone has their responsibilities which they cannot change or…

There is indeed a dispute over who wrote it and when. Nonetheless, the depiction of Richard I in the text is absolutely laudatory. Richard is presented as the perfect knight, from the most noble birth, with a perfect complexion, outstanding military skills and a genuine piety. Next to this model of perfection, the French king, Philip II, is almost invisible. This chronicle is thus an important source for me to analyse the legend of Richard, how it was built and what is its base. Ivanhoe is…
