In which the normal rules and order of social life were suspended or else deliberately reversed‚ "serious issues and events mingled perplexingly with revelry and apparent madness." Closer textual and language analysis provides a detailed demonstration of these ideas‚ the comedic elements of the play draw from the tensions created between common social restraints and the unruly

1001 nights Chaucer used the frame of that collection of stories‚ to make all of the stories inside that frame more complicated‚ more ambiguous and more interesting. Our interest in this collection of story is in the frame on the way stories get told. But there are two things for all purposes in this course. The first one is the question what kind of a story does this frame require? The frame itself is in some ways more limiting than that in Chaucer’s since it only has one narrator and a very limited

I was first introduced to Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork through a YouTube video in my Art Appreciation Class. The video displays some of his more popular paintings. It is set to the tune of ‘Starry Starry Night‚’ a song written by Don McLean. McLean wrote the song as a tribute to Van Gogh and told the story of Van Gogh’s life through his own eyes. McLean portrays Van Gogh as somewhat of a tormented soul who took his own life. I could almost feel Van Gogh’s pain through the mixture of visual and

The painting is brimming with shining stars and a beautiful bright crescent moon and everything is surrounded by magical whirling clouds. The contoured forms in this piece of artwork convey emotion and are means
