            Sarah Ruhl is one of the premier playwrights of this generation. In her works, she explores emotion and being in ways that may at first appear bizarre or unintelligible, but upon reflection, they clearly display the delineation of Dionysian performance. In particular, Melancholy Play acts to portray these aspects of Dionysus in a fabulous theatre performance. This paper plans to prove three central concepts of the play that are in and of themselves Dionysian.  The first point will be to show how Dionysian music is a major part of Ruhl’s play. Then, it will explain how the ‘melancholy’ experienced by the character

It really is almost universally believed that the American Civil War is one of the most written about topics in all of history, with dozens of books being published every year. How is it possible that one topic, stretching only half of a decade, could possibly supply enough material for authors to write that many original books? History is, in and of itself, a discipline in which that talents and points of view of the authors matter just as much as the variety of information and facts provided. To write a historical piece, the author must take the facts available, choose which ones apply to their work, analyze those facts, and develop a thesi

            Lorenzo de Medici was a statesman of the Italian province of Florence, where he was the de facto1 ruler during the Florentine Republic. Living from 1449 to 1492, at what is generally considered to be the height of the Italian Renaissance, he was known as Lorenzo the Magnificent (Lorenzo il Magnifico) by contemporary Florentines. He was simultaneously a diplomat and a politician, as well as being a generous patron of scholars, artists, and poets. He is almost certainly most noteworthy for his influence to the world of art, bequeathing considerable sums of money to artists in order that they would be able to craft some of their prin

            The story of Lady Chatterley’s Lover can certainly be seen as a narrative of the struggle between the upper- and lower-class peoples. In this text, the strife is told on two fronts: the mass front of communistic drive in a workplace setting and the local front of two individuals struggling to love across socially instituted lines of demarcation. This analysis takes a short look at the specifics of Marx’s ideal communism and its relation to the text, then the utter and direct inclusion of Marxist de-industrialisation in the factory of Lawrence’s imagination, followed by Connie’s apprehension towards the ongo

    Once every couple decades or so, when the sun shines and the moon glows, there appears a shimmering demon standing in the center of a crossroads. This netherworld being is called forth from the depths of darkness by a simple person, one of ordinary merit who has a powerful dream. One that the person would do anything to see come to fruition. It has to be a dream so important to that person that they would be willing to sacrifice anything in the world for it, including the very thing that makes them human. The price for bargaining with a demonic force is one's soul. This is the story of the extent one girl would go to just to accomplish he

     È interessante pensare che è possible vedere Babbo Natale a una città piccola come Pienza ma lo ho visto. Allora, questo è il racconto di in che modo ha accaduto.     C'era un giorno grigio e c'era un po’ di pioggia. Siamo andati via taxi come sempre per le nostro gite piccole ma siamo stati senza consapevolezza di che cosa ci siamo stati fare ma siamo stati risoluti avere divertente e imparare. Siamo andati senza Issac, Katy, e Tracie perchè sono stati a Londra. Quando siamo arrivati, abbiamo incontrato nostro guido, ma non ricordo suo nome. Lui ci ha fatto vedere la città e ci ha detto

    The archetypal gothic novel spawned out of a movement following the classical Grand Tours of the Mediterranean and the subsequent arising of a particular obsession with Italy. In this movement, there was a focus on exoticism, medievalism, contrasting passions, heroes and anti-heroes, magic, witchcraft, demonic forces, etcetera. Quite often these ideas manifested through displays of love, death, passion, and vendettas. As is often the case with large cultural movements, the gothic period was a direct contrast of its immediate predecessor. Rejecting the Enlightenment ideals of balance and rationalism, Gothicism used fantastical conceptions,
