Chapter 2, “Disability,” theorizes that Kierkegaard later spurned Byron as a hedonistic “cripple” because of the metonymy between him and his (i.e., Kierkegaard’s) enemy Peder Ludvig Møller. Møller was an editor at The Corsair, the disreputable satirical newspaper that mocked Kierkegaard’s disability in a series of caricatures. As a poet, critic, and eroticist, Møller was eminently Byronic, and both he and Byron had served as models for the titular character of Kierkegaard’s “The Seducer’s Diary.” Chapter 3, “Irony,” claims that Kierkegaard felt a Bloomian anxiety of Byron’s influence.

  • Byronic Heroism Byronic Heroism Refers to a Radical and Revolutionary
    Byronic Heroism Byronic heroism refers to a radical and revolutionary brand of heroics explored throughout a number of later English Romantic and Victorian works of literature, particularly in the epic narrative poems of the English Romantic poet Lord Byron, including Manfred, Don Juan, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, the Giaour, and The Corsair. The figure of the Byronic hero was among the most potent and popular character archetypes developed during the late English Romantic period. While traditional literary heroes are usually marked by their valor, intrinsic goodness, commitment to righteous political and social causes, honesty, courage, propriety, and utter selflessness, Byronic heroes are defined by rather different character traits, many of which are partially or even entirely opposed to standard definitions of heroism. Unlike most traditional heroic figures, Byronic heroes are often deeply psychologically tortured and reluctant to identify themselves, in any sense, as heroic. Byronic heroes tend to exhibit many of the following personality traits: cynicism, arrogance, absolute disrespect for authority, psychological depth, emotional moodiness, past trauma, intelligence, nihilism, dark humor, self-destructive impulses, mysteriousness, sexual attractiveness, world- weariness, hyper-sensitivity, social and intellectual sophistication, and a sense of being exiled or outcast both physically and emotionally from the larger social world. Byronic heroes can be understood as being rather akin, then, to anti-heroes (unlike Byronic heroes, though, anti-heroes tend to be rather reluctant or helpless heroes). Byronic heroes are often committed not to action on behalf of typically noble causes of “good,” but, instead, to the cause of their own self-interest, or to combatting prevailing and oppressive social and political establishments, or to particular problems or injustices in which they take a particular and often personal interest.

  • The World of Arcadia. a Land Where Mankind Dwells on Floating Islands Both Great and Small
    CYOA Welcome to the world of Arcadia. A land where mankind dwells on floating islands both great and small. Here , people travel between the lands on flying air ships, whether for trade , exploration, or even piracy. Under the six elemental moons, the world flourishes in an age of discovery and exploration. Technology is advancing rapidly and new lands are being discovered, but along with progress comes abuse , and a cold war plagues the greatest nations of Arcadia. Whether you seek excitement or wealth, there unlimited opportunities here in Arcadia. Use your 1000cp wisely, or blow it on junk and earn everything all on your own. Location Roll 1d8 for starting location or pay 100cp to choose . In Arcadia, not all of the continents are in contact with one another , and great sky rifts and reefs block travel between some lands for all but the bravest and craftiest sailors. 1. Silver Islands You start your adventure on one of the small, scattered islands beneath the Silver Moon in Mid-Ocean. No large landmasses lie beneath the Silver Moon, and what few tiny communities exist largely subsist on fishing or the gathering of rare silver moon stones. Other seemingly innocent towns have turned to piracy, like the settlement of Windmill Isle , raiding military or merchant vessels that sail through the sky with impunity. There's no central government to rule over the silver islands, and the largest nearby town is the trading pier of Sailor's Island, which sits where the lands of the Silver , Red, and Yellow moons meet. 2. Nasr Your adventure begins under the light of the Red Moon.

  • Constitutional Law-Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure in the Context of Air Piracy
    CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-FOURTH AMENDMENT SEARCH AND SEIZURE IN THE CONTEXT OF AIR PIRACY In United States v. Moreno' the issue of search and seizure in the context of air piracy gained prominence. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that anyone anywhere in an airport may be searched if he has a bulge in his coat and evidences devious conduct, is hesitant, and acts suspi- ciously. Abraham Pina Moreno was arrested at the San Antonio Interna- tional Airport on January 21, 1972, for the unlawful possession of heroin with an intent to distribute. Deputy United States Marshal Granados, a member of the airport's Anti-Air Piracy detail with 20 years of experience in law enforcement, noticed that Moreno, upon deplaning, appeared to be quite nervous and wary of the security guards around the airport. Subse- quently, Moreno left the airport in a taxi and returned two hours later. Granados recognized him on his return and once again began observing Moreno as Moreno switched ticket counters several times before finally purchasing a ticket. Moreno then noticed Granados and went into a rest- room. Granados followed, and once inside the restroom Granados noticed a bulge in Moreno's coat. He approached Moreno, identified himself, and asked if anything was wrong. Moreno replied that he was simply a little nervous because of his taxi trip downtown to a hospital and because of the fare back to the airport. Granados became even more suspicious because he had checked with the cab driver and knew that the bus station, not the hospital, had been Moreno's downtown destination.

  • When I Open My Eyes, I'm Floating in the Air in an Inky, Black Void. the Air Feels Cold to the Touch, My Body Shivering As I Instinctively Hugged Myself
    When I open my eyes, I'm floating in the air in an inky, black void. The air feels cold to the touch, my body shivering as I instinctively hugged myself. My first thought was that this was an awfully vivid nightmare and that someone must have left the AC on overnight. I was more than a little alarmed when I wasn't quite waking up, and that pinching myself had about the same amount of pain as it would if I did it normally. A single star twinkled into existence in the empty void, far and away from reach. Then another. And another. Soon, the emptiness was full of shining stars, and I found myself staring in wonder. I had momentarily forgotten about the biting cold at this breath-taking sight before a wooden door slammed itself into my face, making me fall over and land on a tile ground. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. Also, OW. Standing up and not having much better to do, I opened the door. Inside was a room with several televisions stacked on top of each other, with a short figure wrapped in a blanket playing on an old NES while seven different games played out on the screen. They turned around and looked at me, blinking twice with a piece of pocky in their mouth. I stared at her. She stared back at me. Then she picked up a controller laying on the floor and offered it to me. "Want to play?" "So you've been here all alone?" I asked, staring at her in confusion, holding the controller as I sat nearby.
