Transformation

To a certain extent it can be argued that there was little to no change in the years 1625 – 88, however when compared to society in years’ prior there is a significant transformation in many different elements of society during 1625-1688. There is some limited evidence to support the view that there was little to no transformation to society in years 1625-88.

the classical goddess of love. Venus retells the story of her greatest conquest, Mars, the god of war, in lines 95-114 of Venus and Adonis. Mars is the epitome of masculinity and Venus describes his transformation from this pinnacle of war into her personal slave. By telling Adonis of Mars’s transformation, Venus is both boasting and trying to show Adonis there is no shame in succumbing to her feminine wiles. Venus directly addresses Adonis in this section, “'O, pity,' 'gan she cry,…

Imitation and Transformation On a regular weekday, I was in class listening to a group of women presenting on some topic I couldn’t recall. After their presentation, the instructor, also a woman, told the presenters to stop “uptalking” in the future because their speech pattern can make them sound high-pitched, unconfident, and unprofessional. The class, including myself, silently accepted the instructor’s advice; however, I thought the instructor was trying to tell presenters that they need to…

expectations. The use of transformations rather than destruction becomes particularly evident in The Bacchae and The Metamorphoses. In The Metamorphoses, there are several instances in the lives of the characters in which a disheartening, or even destructive, event takes place and the gods take the situation and turn it into something favorable. Likewise, The Bacchae focuses heavily on transformations, however, instead of the transformations creating something…

importance of transformation with regard to two texts studied so far. Metamorphosis, meaning change of form, underpins the process of transformation in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915) and Ovid’s Metamorphoses (008AD). Present throughout Kafka’s text is the political instability of central Europe during the early 1900’s; the social and militaristic unrest of the Second Reich was rife in Kafka’s home city of Prague. The grim reality of Gregor’s metamorphosis, where the initial transformation…

The first time a transformation truly scared me was in the fourth Harry Potter movie. In it, Lord Voldemort is resurrected in a grotesque scene where he rises out of a cauldron. One of his henchmen, Wormtail, slices open his arm, lets his blood fall into the cauldron, and Voldemort grows from infant to grown man in just a few seconds. The creepy computer-generated Voldemort fetus was utterly terrifying to a six-year-old (I got started on Harry Potter at a very young age). Because of this early…
