Hello there mortals I am Arachne the queen of the spiders. If you are asking how I became the queen of the arachnids well it’s because of Minerva. Well I will tell you the story how it all began, it all started when I was weaving in a forest in Rome. I was a young charming lady with glossy black hair, red shining eyes, and lushes pink lips, and my skin was as gleaming as a diamond. I just about finish my greatest tapestry when a young wood nymph came to me and said Minerva must have given you the

Ovid's story of Erysichthon is told in the epic Metamorphoses at lines 738-878 in book 8. Erysichthon was a man who is guilty of a sacrilege involving the sacred grove of the goddess Ceres. The goddess punishes him by casting the dreadful Famine upon him, where she would hide and consume Erysichthon with a voracious hunger. This punishment for cutting down the sacred oak of Ceres is severe indeed, bringing misfortune not only to him, but upon his whole country. He even resorts to selling his own
mythical creature in order to demonstrate that song is transporting him into a different realm. Keats identifies the perfect world when he wrote “That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease.” Keats is comparing the nightingale to a Dryad and using personification to put forward this idea that the nightingale song is leading him to a perfect world of summer time. In the background the Drayad and the

freedom": "She paused before the mantelpiece, studying herself in the mirror while she adjusted her veil. The attitude revealed the long slope of her slender sides, which gave a kind of wild-wood grace to her outline, as though she were a captured dryad subdued to the conventions of the drawing-room; and Selden reflected that it was the same streak of sylvan freedom in her nature that lent such savour to her artificiality" (15). Not only the description invokes the image of Diana, but also
A New Approach to Religion through Fantasy When it comes to magical worlds and the fantasies of being there can be quite hard to relate to. One that relates to me is Chronicles of Narnia, not only because of the fantasy part how C.S Lewis made Christianity more welcoming to non-believers C.S Lewis the writer of the series of Chronical of Narnia takes a surprising approach to this belief that seeing is believing. With the adaptations made from the novel to the big screen of Chronicles of Narnia the
In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hawthorne conveys the ardent sentiments of Hester Prynne, the protagonist, through her daughter, Pearl, and employs Pearl to aid Hester in her struggle for individuality. Hawthorn projects Hester’s passion onto Pearl by comparing her to a rosebush, a symbol of independence, which guides Hester through an impassive society. Additionally, Pearl embodies the spirit and fervor of Hester, which society had tried to stifle, and exhibits these feelings in the
Motifs and themes work together to help develop a story. The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, illustrates these techniques. In The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne, a young woman and the mother of Pearl, is punished for her crime of adultery. Roger Chillingworth, her former husband who acts as the town doctor, promises himself to figure out who the other sinner is and to punish them, so Hester does not have to face the punishment alone. Arthur Dimmesdale, the young priest and Hester's

Music and Poetry The poetry of William Wordsworth initiated the Romantic Era by emphasizing emotion, intuition, and pleasure rather than form and affectation. His poems set the stage for John Keats, a central figure in early 19th century Romanticism. The fundamental themes in the works of both poets include: the beauty of nature; the consanguinity of dreams/visions and reality and yet the tendency of dreams to mask reality; the intense emotions brought about by beauty and/or suffering; and
“Ode to a nightingale” Arguably one of John Keats’ most famous poems, “Ode to a nightingale” in and of itself is an allegory on the frail, conflicting aspects of life while also standing as a commentary on the want to escape life’s problems and the unavoidability of death. Keats’ poem utilizes a heavy amount of symbolism, simile and allusion to idealize nature as a perfect, almost mystical, world that holds no problems while using imagery taken from nature, combined with alliteration and assonance
Here there could be no mistaking the predominance of personality—the unanimous "Oh!" of the spectators was a tribute, not to the brush-work of Reynolds 's "Mrs. Lloyd" but to the flesh and blood loveliness of Lily Bart. She had shown her artistic intelligence in selecting a type so like her own that she could embody the person represented without ceasing to be herself. It was as though she had stepped, not out of, but into, Reynolds 's canvas, banishing the phantom of his dead beauty by the beams
For the animists of old Europe the elder was magical and enchanted. The European mythology tells us that trees were guarded by a dryad named the Hylde Moer or Elder Mother and should the tree be cut or burned, this tree nymph would haunt the perpetrators with misfortune and, as was believed in Rumania, a toothache. The Elder Mother also reigns as Queen of the Underworld, an alternate
In his poem Ode to a Nightingale, Keats describes the power and force of imagination belonging to a man who desires to escape the emerging consumerist society of the 19th century. The Nightingale in the poem is based off of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and the narrative mirrors Philomela escaping the threat of her murderer. In the poem, the narrator travels to the dark forest to join the nightingale, which Keats’ uses as a symbol of freedom and immortality however, he realizes to be able to experience the
describes that he feels as if “of hemlock [he] had drunk” (Line 2). Plagued by a dullness of sense, this man makes clear that it is not envy that he feels toward this bird, “But being too happy in thine happiness” (Line 6). His aching heart imagines this “Dryad of the trees” (Line 7) singing of the coming summer without a care in the world and no knowledge of the suffering of despondent mortals. Wishing to simply forget his life and be one with the carefree bird who sings his immortal song, the narrator
Throughout history humans have been known for their ability to change, to adapt, and to persevere. Our understanding of what is morally correct allows us to recreate social norms when there are injustices. However, amid struggles are flaws and the scars they leave behind. Humans often choose to glaze over these disfigurements, akin how vines grow over withered houses. Similar to reality, the characters in “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne follow suit. Hester Prynne has committed adultery
