Visage

dissimulation du visage dans l’espace public or the act prohibiting concealment of the face in public spaces (Kim 293). This act prevents Muslim women from wearing traditional Islamic headscarves, the Burka and the Niqab, which conceal the face. If a Muslim woman wears one of these headscarves she could receive a fine of €150 (Leane 1033). Many proponents of this act assert that it promotes gender equality, yet it has resulted in many negative consequences. Loi interdisant la dissimulation du…

intentions to help with love and shows Eros as a caring person rather cold and cruel: “Better my battered visage, bruised by hot, than love dissolved in loss or left to rot”. Both speakers show pity for Eros as they describe him as being unappreciated or not cared for enough, resulting in the stone cold look on his face and potentially cruel intentions in Bridges’ poem, and the “battered visage” in Stevenson’s…

The author of “The Black Veil”, Nathaniel Hawthorne, creates a theme that exposes the idea that everyone has a secret sin and should not be quick to judge someone because they sin differently than you. “On every visage a black veil,”(493) this quote shows how the author believed everyone had a secret sin, or black veil, covering their face. The author of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, Jonathan Edwards, shows the reader a theme stating that all sinners will perish in Hell and that the…

Since the dawn of civilization, the need for stratification, hierarchy, and superiority has taken on numerous visages to establish the dominance of one group over another. Systems of feudalism, slavery, and colonialism have been employed throughout the world to fill this need, opening a Pandora’s Box of hatred, xenophobia, bigotry, and ignorance. These systems of stratification often benefitted their respective societies, but have posed questions to the value of life and moral concerns. The…

How came these things to pass? O, how mine eyes do loathe his visage now!” (Ⅳ,ⅰ,73-77) In this quote Titania wakes up from her sleep and falls in love with Bottom because of the love potion. I think that this is what Oberon wanted as his revenge for Titania, since she would not give him the Indian boy. I think that…

Again we see that the images of nature are associated with strength and endlessness. The stones standing in the desert with the sand sucking in the visage, is the image of a greater palace than the one Ozymandias made him self. “The lone and level sands stretch far away.” This line shows that even though nature has a great place, it can still be “down to earth” and stand alone, humble and “level.” It…

for artists to portray the Gods (“Phidias”). By alluding to Pheidias, Bridges is stating how Eros is only portrayed a certain way. Stevenson invalidates this idea by describing an Eros with “broken nose,” “squinty eyes” “bully lips,” and “battered visage.” This imagery has an effect of making Eros seem vulnerable and this contrasts with Bridges’s depiction of him as a tyrant who has power over…

In The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger uses unreliable narration, repetition of key motifs, and aside to encapsulate Holden’s sacrificing modus operandi. Holden obscures his true intentions with unreliable narration which colours his desire to hold onto anything he can, even to the point where he will not recall his memories. The motifs of death and ‘phoniness’ in his narration which defines the lens through which he views the world. Holden’s asides create the office of a higher moral…

The traveler speaks about these two big “trunkless legs of stone” (2), and about a partly buried “shattered visage” (4) implying that there once was a great statue of a king that stood near there. Later, the traveler reads that the statue was a portrait of Ozymandias himself. Also, Ozymandias called himself the “king of kings” (10), and he said that his works…

This further illustrates how this love is only that of appearances and not of deep and meaningful emotion. A love like that is not genuine. Titania’s unauthentic love for Bottom remained until the antidote for the juice made her “eyes loathe his visage…” (4.1.81). At an instance, Titania quickly realized, in disgust, the mistake she made in loving Bottom. This…
