“To The Evening Star” Some say that imagination has no boundaries‚ but in fact it does and this concept preoccupied William Blake. Blake – an English poet‚ engraver and mystic of the late 18th century – believed that imagination is “the body of God” (Frye et al. 50). Thus it is not surprising Blake ’s poetry is imbued with these two concepts: on the one hand there is desire to understand a higher power as reflected in his Biblical symbolism; on the other hand imagination is central to Blake’s poetry

Like Frye expresses‚ unless looked at from the “big picture” prospective‚ it is neglected. This is just one example of our language that reflects the subordination of women.

Only by taking a couple steps back can you see that oppression is in our homes and in our everyday lives. My conception of racism is informed by the work of Marilyn Frye in her

This loss of identity during the descent thrusts the protagonist onto the archetypal quest for truth‚ and this theme is latently emphasized within the allegorical underworld. In literature‚ those who embrace art and language

Critic Northrop Frye once commented that "Tragic heroes are so much the highest points in their human landscapes" (Frye 1). Few characters illustrate this characteristic of a tragic hero better than that of Victors Frankenstein‚ the protagonist of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. His story is one of a brilliant man whose revolutionary ideas brought suffering to himself‚ his family and friends‚ and his creation.

In “Verticals of Adam”‚ Frye argues that the most effective way to educate people in terms of literature is to start with poetry as the foundation; to work outwards to other forms of literary works; then to go further by making connections with subjects other than art.
