In Venus and Adonis and Antony and Cleopatra‚ William Shakespeare tells the tale of frustrated lovers who long to be desired by the person they love. Although a common plot in many of Shakespeare’s works‚ these accounts instead forefront the reversal of gender identities.

since the first discovery of the Venus flytrap back in 1763‚ there have been many discussions over if this plant is truly a living biotic creature. Some ways that I believe that it fits the characteristics to be considered living are‚ that it grows just like all other plants‚ it has adapted to its environment in order to survive‚ and it gets it nutrients from the insects and other small animals that it digests.

I will be analyzing two Venuses‚ The Venus of Urbino by Titian and the Venus of Rokeby by Velazquez. Specifically‚ how does time period as well as commissioner influence the painting? And does this cause a change in the symbolic meaning and connotation of Venus? The renaissance was a time of rebirth influenced by classical ideas. Many artists found inspiration from the Greeks
