Othello by William Shakespeare and Perfume by Patrick Süskind. Fascinated by different passions and how people are driven by different passions‚ I am able to study this through different literature texts. The three characters I am going to study are ‘Briony’ in the novel Atonement by Ian McEwan‚ first published in 2001‚ but set in 1934-1999‚ ‘Iago” in the play Othello by William Shakespeare‚ first viewed by an audience in 1604‚ and finally ‘Grenouille’ in the novel Perfume by Patrick Süskind‚ first published

Everyone knows what music is and that different instruments make many sounds‚ but do people know how preceding generations formed and influenced their descendants’ music? Not a lot of people know the changes that music went through during certain time periods. The Renaissance was a rebirth of creativity and a change in many areas. There were political‚ economic‚ and religious events in the periods around 1400-1600 that led to many changes. During the Renaissance‚ music was used for religious reasons

Briony creates “A universe reduced to what was said in it…” where she has ultimate control over the story. “[E]very utterance was delivered at the extremity of some feeling or other…” in her play because Briony felt the need to have total control over her story. This is not unique to just a young girl in a story. Throughout our lives

It is a common phenomenon that the richer refuses his daughter or son to marry with a poor one. The social status is the first obstacle to deal with. In the atonement‚ Cecelia is always enjoying life rich when she was born‚ and her father is in prominent position. It was obviously clear that Cecelia live in a dominant upper class and she shares a patronizing and condescending attitude towards Robbie with her families. Robbie is just a son of the housekeeper in the Cecelia’s home. Robbie is from the

Introduction to the Theme of Love and Forgiveness To talk about “love and forgiveness” in literature is to enter into unstudied territory. Unlike former “Let’s Talk About It” topics‚ such as “Latino Literature in the U.S.” or “Jewish Literature‚” this theme has not given rise to a body of critical writing or to papers at literary conferences. It is not a subject of literary studies. If you wanted to read about it‚ you would go to theological or psychological literature‚ not to literary criticism
