Lavinia

With her imagery, wisdom, and questioning of life’s meanings, she forever left her mark on literature. Throughout her life, she published very few poems, but after Emily’s death, her sister, Lavinia, found her old collections of work. Lavinia took Emily’s poetry to a friend and publisher, and with some hesitance, the first compilation of Dickinson’s work was published in 1890. To her publisher’s surprise, the first volume became very popular, and more volumes would…

Of all Shakespearean tragedies, Titus Andronicus is bar none the bloodiest. It scores the most points for volume and creativity. Unlike the causes of casualties in other plays, (“Stabbed/ Stabbed/ Hanged/ etc”), those in Titus require a little more imagination to grasp (“Pie/ Pie/ Indigestion/ etc”). When a character dies from a typical tragic cause— poisoned or stabbed with a sword— it is understood that the fact of death alone achieves resolution; when a character dies a little more…

The Dead Christ with Symbols of the Passion can be compared to Rosso Fiorentino's work, The Dead Christ with Angels. Painted in the 1520s, the piece features heavy similarities to Fontana's work in style, theme and content. Fiorentino's piece is also highly reflective of the 16th century style-mannerism similar to Fontana’s piece. Fiorentino’s piece is characterized by the use of crowded figures in an ambiguous space, strong hues and colors, elongated and twisting figures and so on. Thematically…

In my opinion, neither The Achaeans nor the Trojans won the Trojan War. Most literature insinuates that the Achaeans won. However; he Greeks (Achaeans) and the Trojans both had extreme loses. On the Trojan side they lost Hector and on the Achaean side they lost Achilles. Both sides were put into agony during and after the war. Many brother, sons, husbands, children, and fathers were lost during the Trojan War. In the film, Paris handed off the Sword of Troy to Aeneas, who seemed to be just an…

notion of hunting associates itself with a predatory violence, raising the issues of human domination over the nonhuman. Titus Andronicus blurs this relationship by utilising the hunt metaphorically to represent sexual violation upon the character of Lavinia, who is compared throughout the plot as "dainty doe" (2.1.114). This animal imagery enhances her gentleness and her purity, portraying her as a defenceless prey that is being hunted simultaneously alongside the actual hunt. These animal…

However, this is completely different from Aeneas who look for the real meaning of omen. In Allecto's war, which is war that arose because of raising opposition to the marriage of Aeneas and Lavinia, the daughter of king Latinus, the character of Turnus who is completely driven by his anger of losing Lavinia, is revealed for us clearly.. For example, Turnus get the chance to enter the Trojan's camp, he starts killing his enemies as having desires for bloodshed instead of bringing his troops to…

Emily is an inspiration to many, she believes that "Hope is the thing with feathers- That perches in the soul". She stood up for what she believed in, and defied the odds of learning to read and write when it was unusual for women at that time. Throughout her life, Dickinson was told her style of writing was unusual and no one would like it, but, ironically, when her poems were discovered, everyone loved them. Her unique style and perspective won over audiences, and changed the way people viewed…

presentation of Titus is very cold and brutal, even killing his own son for disrespecting him. This gives a starting point to compare any significant discovery leading to significant change in character. In act IV Titus has achieved his anagnorisis. Lavinia is guided in with Lucius and uses Ovid’s Metamorphoses to describe the acts of violence that were committed against her. She names Chiron and Demetrius as the culprits leading to the entire group of them to vow revenge. This is the big…

December 1830. She was born in the town of Amherst Massachusetts. She had very deep New England roots from her family. Emily was closer to her father than she was to her mother; she was also close with her brother, William Austin, and her sister, Lavinia Norcross. Emily was an excellent student.…

Esteban Borja Pena Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Emily was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on December 10, 1830. She attended the university of Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in South Hadley. Some of her quotes are “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.”, “Forever is composed of nows.”, “Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.” Throughout most of her life, she seemed to have had very few visitors and sporadically left her house. The people who…
