The Cult Of Dionysus Analysis

This quote shows that many Thebans have died from the plague that the Gods have unleashed. One can also argue that they seem this way due to the fact that they waited till Oedipus had become the king of Thebes to punish him and his parents for attempting to go against his prophecy and in turn, attempting to disobey the word of the Gods. However, their not interrupting with Oedipus’ fate can be correlated to the belief that our fates are pre-determined and irreversible, it may have been impossible for the Gods to interfere even if they wanted to. This shows how powerful the ruling cosmic order of fate was; even the Gods could not act against it. The Gods also give an impression of being easily angered as Oedipus essentially wanted to prevent his horrible fate of killing his father and bedding his mother, which is a reasonable notion but Oedipus still angered the Gods despite his honest

[It was me].” ( Hosseini, 91) This line is spoken by Amir to the readers when he self-realizes the consequences, he is going to face due to his betrayal towards Hassan. This quotation is relevant because this is the beginning of Amir’s conflict with himself. A few days after Hassan’s sexual assault, Amir realizes the foreshadowing of Hassan’s dream and believes that he is similar to the monster from Hassan’s dream.

Free will and determinism have been debated by philosophers for centuries. This topic was debated as early as around 430 b.c. when Sophocles wrote Oedipus the King.

His parents were disgusted by this prophecy and decided to leave Oedipus to die in the mountains with his feet nailed together.

What happened to Frank Romero 's "Going to the Olympics, 1984" upon the decades after the mural was finished was very tragic but I believe it was inevitable for others to tag over the mural. An image from 2009 shows the mural in a rough shape, the bottom half of the mural got completely ruined by people tagging over the mural and spraying graffiti over it as well. Romero 's response to this fiasco was interesting, he sued Caltrans "the state agency that owns L.A. 's 70 freeway murals," because of the people who painted over his mural. What the people of Los Angles thought of this is interesting as well, as Judith Baca "a mural artist and activist" stated "artists are starting to stand up and say, `Enough is enough. '

This performance is a great example of how different techniques and means are employed to create the necessary atmosphere. The stage set, the lighting, the play of the actors are the factors that contribute to the success of the performance.

Conflict is one of the many ways Shakespeare used to spice up the play of Romeo and Juliet. Not to mention that conflict is a recurring theme within the play as it intertwines with several other themes to importantly show the relationship of conflict to tragedy.

“Othello” is one of William Shakespeare’s greatest plays. In “Othello”, the use of rich imagery and symbolism is significant in conveying meaning as it helps to establish the dramatic atmosphere of the play and reinforce the possible themes and highlighting the character’ attitudes. Through this, the audience is able to grasp a better understanding of the play. It is also his ability to manipulate language and conjure up startlingly accurate images and symbols which really make this play memorable.

Dramatic irony is based on the fact that the audience knows something that character does not. In this text, the audience knows the fate of Oedipus before he knows himself. Sophocles uses it very effectively to make the audience feel part of the play which forces them to watch in suspense and makes them eager to see how Oedipus reacts. By using this dramatic irony, Sophocles ensures that his plays will be interesting to an audience that already knows the story. Sophocles creates a most prominent character flaw for Oedipus in that he possesses excessive arrogance.

Tybalt’s speech has a huge effect on the audience. The speech foreshadows and adds suspense to the play as the audience tense up and anticipate a possible fight between Romeo and Tybalt in the future and knows the violence is likely.

Also, another act of destruction Hercules caused was the murder of his half-brother Iphitus.
