  • How Ovid's “Pygmalion”
    The Complex Relationship of Ars and Natura: How Ovid’s “Pygmalion” Employs the Power of the Artist Kelsey Littlefield ‘17 ublius Ovidius Naso, commonly known as Ovid, was a Roman poet and author who lived during the reign of P Augustus Caesar. He is renowned as poet of great variety and skill, and no work so wonderfully displays his talent as his Metamorphoses, a massive volume of mythological stories of transformation. Throughout the Metamorphoses, art and nature serve as unifying themes and are present in some capacity in each myth Ovid recounts. In particular, art and nature are prevalent in the myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with his ivory creation. An important contrast develops between art and nature in this story, and that contrast speaks to how the senses are woven into both. Roman literature is fond of treating the subjects of art and nature, and their contrasting figures appear again and again in the best works of the Ancient World. These two didactic terms are often used in elegiac poetry as a means of deciphering the interwoven relationships among the poet, lover, and girl (poeta, amator, and puella).1 The poet and the lover are one in the same, as the poet attempts to express the love and the experience of the beloved (i.e., the puella) to his reader. There is also, however, a sense of lament, as in all elegiac poetry, as the beloved has an unattainable quality that eventually leaves the poet/lover in despair. The girl, more specifically Pygmalion’s own beloved,2 exemplifies the erotic nature displayed in Ovid’s version of elegiac poetry and the grappling of the role that the artist plays in shaping his own art.

  • Women and Life Force in Shaw‟S „Widower's House‟ and „Man and Superman' Niraja Saraswat ABSTRACT Literature Can Be
    Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) Vol.3/ NO.1/Spring 2013 Women and Life Force in Shaw‟s „Widower’s House‟ and „Man and Superman’ Niraja Saraswat ABSTRACT Literature can be seen as a barometer of the time, it holds the views and opinions dear to each author. George Bernard Shaw was a writer who did not care what waves he made because he wanted that turbulence. In his classic work „Man and Superman‟ Shaw used character interactions to voice his objections to common institutions. There is more to this play than a love story and a son‟s struggle for his father‟s approval. The present paper discusses the women in his two plays viz. Ann in „Man and Superman‟ and Blanche in „Widower‟s House‟ who pursue their heartthrobs to ensure the continuance of the race and its improvement through evolution. Since centuries, women have been looked down upon as the 'Object' and men the „Subject‟; selecting women for marriage and love without any conscious approach of knowing women's wish and will. Shaw has turned the table by giving his women characters an open platform to put their own choice of their mates.

  • Under the Influence of Satire Introduction
    DeMattio 1 Under the Influence of Satire By: Ashley DeMattio Introduction This thesis compares and contrasts the two plays, Lysistrata by Aristophanes and Mrs. Warren’s Profession by George Bernard Shaw, based on their political agendas through the literary form of satire; they are greatly influenced by the time period in which they lived, and express themselves through the female characters in their plays. Insight and further understanding of each play will be provided, and it will be demonstrated how the authors had a goal of starting specific conversations amongst their audiences. Though these conversations differ, Aristophanes and Shaw demonstrate the ability to politically and intellectually enlighten their audiences through pleasure. Aristophanes was a native of Greece during the first century B.C.E., and witnessed the cruel occurrences of the Peloponnesian War and the challenge to Greece’s political stability. In his play Lysistrata he took the idea of war and molded it into a battle of the sexes. The main idea of the play is that the women of Greece, both Athenians and Spartans, are seeking to end the war, and in order to do so they hold a sex strike. The sex strike is used as a way to intrigue the audience through humor and risqué references; the use of satire is amplified when he uses women as the dominant characters. The women hold the power in the play, and this makes the Athenian audience uneasy. This uneasiness is what Aristophanes wants to accomplish, and he puts the audience in a vulnerable state. Lysistrata is meant to warn the people of Greece; what he is warning against and how he goes about it will be further understood when the play is examined.

His education was irregular, due to his dislike of any organized training. After working in an estate agent's office for a while, he moved to London as a young man (1876), where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties and became a prominent member of the Fabian Society, for which he composed many pamphlets. He began his literary career as a novelist; as a fervent advocate of the new theatre of Ibsen (The Quintessence of Ibsenism, 1891) he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage. His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). Among these, Widower's Houses and Mrs. Warren's Profession savagely
