The Painting Of Pygmalion And Galatea: A Sensual Embrace
... of 1890, Pygmalion and Galatea. Although Galatea's feet remain anchored in the block of marble, supported by a second dias, she has reached over to her creator and they are locked in an embrace. This warm and sensual embrace signifies the ultimate moment for the sculptor as he realizes that his creation has finally responded to his love. The telltale mallet that is lying in the foreground with bits of marble scattered close by indicates that the artist was working on his delicate sculpture when suddenly he felt her flesh tremble. Gérôme's illustration suggests that Pygmalion, after realizing Galatea was no ...

To them was a way to express their emotions within a constricting class structure. Thus, the fundamental themes of plays are conflicts between humanity and the feudalistic system. It is largely due to this humanistic quality of the art that it gained such an enduring popularity among the general public of those days and remains this way today.

The Woman's Role In Macbeth
... we see that women can cloud reality, thus causing deceptiveness in the
"fog and filthy air."
In Act I, scene 3, we again see the feminine presence through the
witches. This time, however, they are casting spells on a poor sailor because
his wife cursed one of the witches and refused to give her some chestnuts.
Chances are, that if women are fighting, a man will suffer for it. Just then,
Macbeth and Banqou see the witches and engage them in conversation. The witches
greet Macbeth with, "Thane of Glamis" (his present title), "Thane of Cawdor"
(his soon-to-be announced title), and the prophesy that ...

As You Like It: Grow Up, Oliver!
... deals with it in an immature way in the
beginning of the play. When Orlando agrees to wrestle Charles, Oliver
concludes that this will be the ideal time to get back at his younger
brother for being who he is. When he tries to have Charles kill him,
this shows that Oliver is too much of a coward to do it himself. Another
thought that comes to mind is that it is possible that Oliver knows that
having his brother killled is unethical and wrong. Deep down I think that
Oliver has a decent heart and is aware that he should not let his envy get
the best of him. The reader may wonder why Oliver would be jealous of ...

Shakespeare In Love: A Great Movie
... others by the
directors form of expression. One could be lost in classifying the movie
Shakespeare In Love due to the various tales that exist within the movie
itself.
Shakespeare In Love is a romantic comedy that appeals to all
generations. The story is set in Elizabethan England with present day
concerns like doing what makes us happy despite what others think is
morally acceptable. The use of the Globe Theatre expresses the difference
in times, but the importance of entertainment. The film demonstrates the
way plays were acted out solely by men. This illustrated the lack of
belief that a woman could put ...

Macbeth And Beowulf: Evil Defined By Human Preoccupation
... had the same meaning in the Pre-Christian time.
As Christian was introduced, a new definition of evil that concentrated on
human values and thoughts had emerged. The Christian believed that the seven
deadly sins were the cause of evil. Thus in the play Macbeth, Macbeth's tragic
flaws were actually the deadly sins. They were greedy and envy. Macbeth was not
satisfied with his current position, "Thane of Glamis," and not even his newly
gained "Thane of Cawdor" would please him. He had only one thing on his mind,
the throne. When he became the king, he envied Banquo's having heirs who would
be rivals for the ...
