The Virgin Mary Capro Analysis

238 Words1 Page

One of the darkest aspects that I see is how totally subservient Mary is to George. She seems to be there only to support him and her life is secondary to his. She has the children and is the dutiful homemaker, but we never get to see inside of Mary’s personality and what she really thinks. The camera gives her several close ups and we see her facial expressions that hint at emotion, but her thoughts about her life with George are never revealed. I can’t help but wonder if Capra purposefully patterned her after the Virgin Mary, because like Mary in the bible, we never really know what Mary Bailey thinks of life with George. Yes, she loves him but does she share in his struggles or is she so busy raising the kids that she is oblivious

  • Dogma Of The Immaculate Conception Analysis

    1543 Words  | 7 Pages

    The dogma of the Immaculate Conception was promulgated by Pope Pius IX. In the Constitution Ineffabilis Deus of December 8, 1854, he stated that the “Most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace granted by God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin.” It would be through this special grace and sanctity of life that she would be able to stand out victorious over the ancient serpent, the enemy of the human race. Freed from the ancient curse upon human race she would bring forth the Son of God who will free his people from sin and rule over the house of David forever. Given all we know of the Blessed Virgin Mary

    The Baroque period covers one hundred and fifty years from 1600 to 1750. Its characteristics tend to include, lavish, over the top, expensive and much more then necessary. The period is painted literally with architecture, paintings, clothing, food and much more that continuously begs people of today to ask ‘why?’. The use of frill and extravagance in art in this period has become less of a question of ‘why’ and more of a question ‘where is the extra?’, because this part in history is centered around adding extra ornamentation to everything. With such an over the top part in history, it would seem impossible to pick one piece that could embody every aspect of the Baroque Era but it is to be proven that one piece has such potential.

  • Mary Anne Warren Abortion Analysis

    1103 Words  | 5 Pages

    Mary Anne Warren is a well-known American philosopher who has influenced the argument of the controversial issue, abortion. Today, I will be supporting Warren’s belief and theory on abortion solely being the woman’s choice and will do so by refuting other theories and philosophers including; John T Noonan, Judith Thompson, and Don Marquis. John T. Noonan revolves his argument of abortion around the idea of conception. According to Noonan, abortion is morally wrong because a being comes into existence at the point of conception. Also, being conceived by human parents automatically classifies the fetus as a human as well.
