Portrait of a Lady

Othello: A hero Othello by William Shakespeare is one of his enigmatic tragic plays. Shakespeare 's intricately woven tale sees characters influence each other to an extent that the initial presentation of a character is almost unrecognizable as the play unfolds. Inevitably this is can be the sole trait in tragedy, an outcome of exterior circumstances or individuals influencing an otherwise stable and predictable personality. Shakespeare 's genius is revealed with a focus on Othello 's…

‘’My last duchess’’ by Robert Browning is a poem that explores many themes, themes that were regarded as rather unusual in a time like the Victorian age . Many critics spoke highly of Browning’s techniques; he used diction, rhythm and symbol. Those were really evident in most of his dramatic monologues. According to the Victorian web, ‘’the last duchess’’ delves into the theme of marriage and relationships, since the dramatic monologue revolves around a painting of his previous wife and is…

Commentary After reading H.P.Lovecraft’s The Rats in the Walls, I was inspired to write this trilogy of short horror stories. It was the ending sentence that fully made me want to write thrilling and intense short stories, “the rats they can never hear; the rats, the rats in the walls.” – (The Rats in the Walls).

My Dearest Elizabeth, I have indeed landed on my own dark continent, though I think you would find it uncommon hot and bright. Your fantasies of my landing at Durban “best limb forward” generated a chorus of guffaws at the Regatta Club, though I did not disclose your name. I have no doubt that you would enjoy a measure of notoriety among the lads, but I am reluctant to show all my cards so soon upon disembarking, and you, dear, are my ace of spades. You have forgotten, perhaps, that my fame in…

His obsession with El Greco started when he went to study in Madrid where he was impressed by El Greco’s magnificent heads. As early as 1899 he had filled page after page of a sketchbook with caricatures of Greco-like portraits, often with flamboyant ruff collars, exaggerating their pointed chins, their schematic quality and their hyper-refined tonality. One of his heads even had the inscription: Yo El Greco, yo Greco! Shortly afterwards Picasso’s Blue Period followed and there his pictures were…
