Word And Song: The Paradox Of Romanticism, Catherine Ingram
Word And Song: The Paradox Of Romanticism, Catherine Ingram
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Among the various outcomes of the Romantic period, an interest in the relationship of the arts remains a widely recognized yet rarely examined field of study. Music and literature seemed to develop a particular kinship, yet to identify the exact relationship is as difficult as defining Romanticism itself. In this study, I attempt to do both. In exploring the concept of Romanticism, its paradoxical development from Classicism is examined through the comparison of six great composers and poets of the period. By tracing the similarities and differences in style of Beethoven/Wordsworth, Schumann/Keats, and Brahms/Tennyson, hopefully a clearer understanding of the …
Images Of Art: Katherine Mansfield's Use Of Line, Color, And Composition In Her Short Stories, Carol Barsky
Images Of Art: Katherine Mansfield's Use Of Line, Color, And Composition In Her Short Stories, Carol Barsky
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Katherine Mansfield's short stories include numerous visual images, many of which contribute significantly to the stories' moods and themes. Her visual imagery has been linked with literary devices such as symbolism and irony. This study, however, emphasizes three major principles of the visual arts apparent in her imagery—line, color, and composition—that also play important roles in imbuing a substantial number of her images with possible meaning. The prominence and skillful handling of these artistic techniques suggest that she purposely wove them into her works to produce psychological effects that induce moods or support themes. As a result, Mansfield successfully merged …
"In What Particular Thought To Work": Hamlet And Manic-Depression, Lewis Pickett
"In What Particular Thought To Work": Hamlet And Manic-Depression, Lewis Pickett
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
By means of contemporary diagnostic criteria, Prince Hamlet may be demonstrated to be a Bi-Polar I Manic Depressive. Because current genetic research suggests that this disease is inherited, it is logical to ask if Claudius also suffers from this disorder. It can be demonstrated that he does. We may conclude that Claudius murdered the late King of Denmark during a manic episode similar to the one in which Hamlet kills Polonius.
One Day, Some Day, Douglas Fisher
One Day, Some Day, Douglas Fisher
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
When someone asks us how old we are, we tell them the number of years that we have lived. But those years are comprised of days: days that wrinkle our brows, burn searing holes in our souls, and those days--filled with joy, terror, humor, fear, and exasperation--are the sum totals of our age. One Day. Some Day is a collection of short fiction that deals with the events of one day in the life of the characters. The titles of the stories reflect this theme, i.e., "Thursday's Child, 11 "A Measure of Days," and "One of These Days." I have …
The Cross-Cultural Use Of Sexually Explicit Language To Express Anger And Aggression, Deanna May
The Cross-Cultural Use Of Sexually Explicit Language To Express Anger And Aggression, Deanna May
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Freud postulated that the instincts of sex and aggression are fused. One possible example of the expression of this fusion is the use of sexually explicit language to convey anger and aggression. If this usage is universal, then it may be construed as evidence for Freud's theory. The present study attempted to determine the pervasiveness of the use of sexually explicit language to express anger and aggression (SEL). Thirty-one epresentatives of languages other than American English completed questionnaires detailing the use of SEL in their native cultures. Results indicated that 28 of the respondents reported use of SEL in their …
