Vincent Van Gogh: Sevisited Ear

Joe Hill’s short story “Pop Art” explores the relationship between inner and outer self and one’s ability to express oneself, looking at these issues through the lens of characters’ conflicts with society and symbolism. The unnamed narrator, his inflatable friend Art, and their antagonists enact the conflicts of being socially targeted for weakness, and being misunderstood and unheard.

This world is full of many uncertainties. Some are pleasant surprises, while others become life-altering tragedies. Kevin Hazzard portrays such beautiful disasters in his book “A Thousand Naked Strangers,” which recalls his unimaginably insane encounters as an EMT and paramedic in Atlanta, Georgia. He witnessed pain and suffering, but also beauty and freedom. He claims that the chaos and unpredictability is what made his job worth doing. Just as Hazzard’s job shows how disaster brings about freedom and beauty, art conveys this relationship in a similar way. Although more well-off individuals have better access to necessary resources, in order to truly create beautiful, revolutionary works of art one must endure some form of suffering.

In a tragedy, the protagonist is the author’s representation of the destructive flaws of the human race. The tragic hero, usually the protagonist, brings about his own suffering because of his character flaws. At the same time, the loss of faith in humanity by the audience is often restored by the redeeming qualities shown after the his defeat. Three main theories of the tragic hero are the Aristotelian model, the Shakespearean model, and the modern tragic hero.

We hear it all the time–the mad genius, the deranged artist, the crazy inventor. These sayings are stereotypes, true, but stereotypes have to come from somewhere. In the case of linking mental illness to creativity, the stereotypes come from science. In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the reader is introduced to the idea of a dual persona. One persona, Dr. Jekyll, is a well-to-do Englishman, while the other, Mr. Hyde, is a borderline sociopathic character who defies all societal norms on proper behavior and etiquette. Dr. Jekyll is a scientist, who divides his body into two, his proper self, and his inner mad scientist. Science is his art form, his way of creating and inventing new potions, so having a repressed self who can

There have been many authors through history who have left a legacy, but one author, Edgar Allen Poe, has left something far greater than that. Though many writers have played an important part in culture, most have not even scratched the surface of the influence Poe has left behind. Poe was not only a writer, he was an artist who could paint mysterious and horrific stories with his words and created things that no one else had. Furthermore, he was the originator of the detective story and a shocking poet, and his writings will forever be immortalized through the works of others.
