In modern and past society love is viewed as a gift or blessing‚ but in this case love is the main cause of suffering and characters that do fall in love are most of the time misguided and acts of cruelty either fall on them or they cause them. Straight from the beginning Orsino is manipulated with love for Olivia. His obsession over her causes him to refuse to go hunting or any other activity

    the Van Gough painting and the corresponding poem “The StarryNight” by Anne Sexton. The poem references death rather frequentlyand I think that night in some way goes hand in hand with death. In contrast morning and daylight give way to life‚ the flowers opening up to the sun’s warmth and birds awaking; the day begins. The painting shows a town at night‚ which is asleep‚ quiet and peaceful. During the day the town is alive with people doing their day to day activities‚ the birds are singing and the

    In William Shakespeare’s a Twelfth Night a major subject is gender and sexual identity as a whole. Shakespeare takes on a vision that implies that gender to some degree can be subjective depending on how you present yourself rather than something you are due to the sexual parts you were given at birth. Viola early on in the story disguises herself as a male‚ named Cesario‚ and almost instantly Olivia falls in love with her. The overall alteration of Viola into Cesario is thought-provoking because

    I chose to write about Van Gogh’s Starry Night‚ because I think that this painting is one of the greater pioneer forms of abstract art. Van Gogh’s rendering of the world the way that he perceived it‚ blended with his own stigmatic emotion‚ is evidenced by his abstract depiction of this small village in the south of France; Starry Night is aesthetically‚ artistically‚ and technically unique. Starry night is a depiction of an actual village that Van Gogh visited during his lifetime. At the risk
