The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan Howard Chen
Breakthrough and Concealment: The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan Howard Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Howard Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Breakthrough and Concealment: The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan Howard Chen This dissertation analyzes the three main protagonists of Lucan’s Bellum Civile through their attempts to utilize, resist, or match a pattern of action which I call the “formula.” Most evident in Caesar, the formula is a cycle of alternating states of energy that allows him to gain a decisive edge over his opponents by granting him the ability of perpetual regeneration. However, a similar dynamic is also found in rivers, which thus prove to be formidable adversaries of Caesar in their own right. Although neither Pompey nor Cato is able to draw on the Caesarian formula successfully, Lucan eventually associates them with the river-derived variant, thus granting them a measure of resistance (if only in the non-physical realm). By tracing the development of the formula throughout the epic, the dissertation provides a deeper understanding of the importance of natural forces in Lucan’s poem as well as the presence of an underlying drive that unites its fractured world.

Chapter Thirteen: "BANG, RIGHT TO THE MOON" Recently, a group of fierce warriors forced the evil sorcerer Kulan Gath to retreat--but Kulan Gath implied that their victory was a tainted one and that eventually, the warriors would serve him. Conan the Cimmerian managed to escape with Kulan Gath’s amulet of power--the Third Eye of Agamotto. But the amulet drew the attention of Victor Von Doom and Doctor Strange, the latter of whom warned Conan of its dangerous power. Together, the trio tracked Kulan Gath to Egypt. In a battle that nearly cost Strange his life, he discovered that Gath’s amulet was a fake, but it bore a curse that Conan was able to turn against Kulan Gath. Along with Elektra, Strange began gathering a team needed to defeat Kulan Gath——permanently. First they arranged a trade of souls between Daniel Drumm and his sibling Doctor Voodoo to bring the latter back to life. Then, after tracking down Conan in Mexico, they also assembled Wolverine, Black Widow, Daimon Hellstrom and Magik, and prepared for war… Writer Gerry Duggan Artist Patch Zircher Color Artist Java Tartaglia Letterer VC’s Travis Lanham Cover Valerio Giangiordano & Frank D’Armata Variant Cover BossLogic Graphic Designer Carlos Lao Assistant Editor Martin Biro Associate Editor Alanna Smith Editor Tom Brevoort Editor in Chief C.B.

Then we have Nightwatch, a was a dark time for the Republic. In short, it was...the bald-faced ripoff of Todd MacFarlane’s more ‘90s. The 1990s were an odd time for comic books. A successful Spawn. Next, we have Necromancer… the group of comic book artists, including the likes of Jim Dr. Strange of Counter-Earth. And best for last, Lee and hate-favorite Rob Liefield, splintered off from there’s Adam X the X-TREME! Oh dear Lord -- is there Marvel Comics to start their own little company called anything more 90s than this guy? With his backwards Image. True to its name, Image Comics featured comic baseball cap, combustible blood, a costume seemingly books light on story, heavy on big, flashy art (often made of blades, and a title that features not one but either badly drawn or heavily stylized, depending on TWO “X”s, this guy that was teased as the (thankfully who you ask), and a grim and gritty aesthetic that retconned) “third Summers brother” is literally seemed to take all the wrong lessons from renowned everything about the 90s in comics, all rolled into one. works such as Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns.

A Character Type in the Plays of Edward Bond
A Character Type in the Plays of Edward Bond Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Frank A. Torma, M. A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Jon Erickson, Advisor Richard Green Joy Reilly Copyright by Frank Anthony Torma 2010 Abstract To evaluate a young firebrand later in his career, as this dissertation attempts in regard to British playwright Edward Bond, is to see not the end of fireworks, but the fireworks no longer creating the same provocative results. Pursuing a career as a playwright and theorist in the theatre since the early 1960s, Bond has been the exciting new star of the Royal Court Theatre and, more recently, the predictable producer of plays displaying the same themes and strategies that once brought unsettling theatre to the audience in the decades past. The dissertation is an attempt to evaluate Bond, noting his influences, such as Beckett, Brecht, Shakespeare, and the postmodern, and charting the course of his career alongside other dramatists when it seems appropriate. Edward Bond‟s characters of Len in Saved, the Gravedigger‟s Boy in Lear, Leonard in In the Company of Men, and the character in a number of other Bond plays provide a means to understand Bond‟s aesthetic and political purposes. Len is a jumpy young man incapable of bravery; the Gravedigger‟s Boy is the earnest young man destroyed too early by total war; Leonard is a needy, spoiled youth destroyed by big business. -
FOREWORD Long Ago, the Great City of Felstad Sat at the Centre of a Magic Empire
FOREWORD Long ago, the great city of Felstad sat at the centre of a magic empire. Its towering spires, labyrinthine catacombs, and immense libraries were the wonder of the age and potions, scrolls, and mystical items of all descriptions poured forth from its wor shops. !hen, one cataclysmic night, a mista e was made. In some lofty tower or dar chamber, a foolish wi"ard unleashed a magic too powerful to control. A storm rose up – an epic bli""ard that swallowed the city whole, burying it deep and leaving the area as nothing more than a vast, fro"en wasteland. The empire was shattered and its magic faded. As the centuries came and went, Felstad passed from history to legend and on into myth. Only a few wi"ards, clinging to the last remnants of magic knowledge, still belie%ed that the lost city had e%er actually e&isted. But their faith was rewarded. #fter a thousand years, the fell winter has passed. The snows have receded, and Felstad has been unco%ered. Its buildings lie in ruins, o%errun by undead creatures and magic constructs, the legacy of the empire(s e&periments. It is an e%il, dangerous place. To the few hardy souls who inhabit the nearby villages, the city has ac)uired a new name – ‘Frostgra%e( – and is shunned by all right+thin ing people. For those who see power and riches, howe%er, it is an unparalleled opportunity, a deadly maze concealing secrets of knowledge long forgotten... ,-#.!ER O/E WI0#RD1 #/D W#R'#/D1 Welcome to Frostgrave, a tabletop wargame in which the players take on the roles of powerful wi"ards and lead their small warbands into the fro"en ruins of the city of Felstad in search of lost treasure, enchanted artefacts, and forgotten secrets of magic. -
