    HANGING IN THE BALANCE: THE LURE OF NIETZSCHE’S APOLLONIAN AND DIONYSIAC IMPULSES IN KATE CHOPIN’S THE AWAKEIG by Jessica Salamin A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere thanks and love to her husband, children, and parents for their support and encouragement throughout the writing of this manuscript. iii ABSTRACT Author: Jessica Salamin Title: Hanging in the Balance: the Lure of Nietzsche’s Apollonian and Dionysiac Impulses in Kate Chopin’s The Awakening Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Johnnie Stover Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2009 This thesis represents a study of Kate Chopin’s groundbreaking novel, The Awakening . Further, it applies Nietzsche’s principles of Dionysiac and Apollonian impulses to the literary analysis of the novel. I argue that the protagonist of the novel, Edna Pontellier, embarks on a quest to determine how she may live an authentic life— that is, a life whereby she is true to her self above all others. Ultimately, her search for self is overwhelmed by the imbalance of the Apollonian and Dionysiac impulses against which she struggles. Because Edna cannot successfully mediate this struggle, she reaches the conclusion that she may only attain a truth to her self if she finds that truth in death. iv HANGING IN THE BALANCE: THE LURE OF NIETZSCHE’S APOLLONIAN AND DIONYSIAC IMPULSES IN KATE CHOPIN’S THE AWAKEIG Introduction ..........................................................................................................................1 Chapter 1: Waking from the Dream .....................................................................................7 Chapter 2: Edna, Chopin, Reisz, and Nietzsche ................................................................14 Chapter 3: Sexual Awakening and the Would-be Intervention of Dr.

  • On Music Angels God Only Knows
    On Music Angels God Only Knows David Milo Kirkham Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday The trek from my office at the Air Force Academy history department to the faculty parking lot was long enough—about a ten-minute walk—suf- ficient time for some substantive thinking. One winter evening in about 1992, as I made the walk, my Comparative Revolutions course weighed on my mind. As I pondered how I might introduce the next day’s discus- sion on causes of revolutions, I climbed into my 1987 red Dodge Colt more out of habit than deliberation. At the turn of the ignition key, the radio’s boom broke my reverie and jarred me back to the reality of my immediate surroundings. “Where did it go, that yester-glow, . yester-me, yester-you,” rang out the soulful tenor voice of Stevie Wonder from Colorado Springs’ sole oldies station. A decent song, I thought, ready for a musical interlude to my heavy thinking, but I wonder what’s on the other stations. My fingers instinctively hit the button for the only other accessible old- ies station, from Pueblo, Colorado, fifty-seven miles to the south. Recep- tion of Pueblo’s station wasn’t always very good at my house in the Springs, but sometimes I could pick it up while perched on the mountainside where the Academy was located. That night, in fact, I was in luck. The music came in softly but clearly: “Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday.” Stevie Wonder. That’s odd, I thought. The same more-than-twenty-year-old song play- ing at the same time on two different stations in two different towns.

    Shoreham-Wading River High School ildcat ause Volume XXXIII No. 6 WShoreham-Wading River High School P April 2011 Community values: athletics over academics? CALI LAVEY STAFF WRITER Conversation about financial situations or course cut- backs is generally spoken between a few concerned parents and community members. However, the Feb. 15 Board of Education meeting attracted a crowd of more than 300 community members, versus the 48 who attended the March 15 meeting about secondary school budgeting. The attendance boost was in response to the focus of the beginning of the meeting, whether Mr. Rotanz would be reinstated as varsity lacrosse coach. As the debate came to a close, the crowd was cut in half within minutes as both adults and students filed out of the library. The number of students attending the earlier part of this meeting was higher than any other this year. Senior Connor Drost, who has been a part of the lacrosse program “since [he’s] been walking” and is playing his fourth year on the varsity team, ex- “I’m surprised they plained that the purpose for the [board members] majority of the at- didn’t charge admis- tending was to support the la- sion to get in,” crosse program as a whole. -Matt Kneisel “I’ve been to board meetings before the lacrosse one, but I think more people attended the last one to find out what the current situation concerning the coaching was,” said Drost. “As far as student attendance goes, it seems like who’s coaching lacrosse will have a greater direct impact on the students than something like the budget, so they care more.” While the majority of the students were either members of the boys’ lacrosse team or the lacrosse program who wanted to show their support or speak on behalf of Coach Rotanz, several students who had no connection to lacrosse attended simply to witness the “drama” that had been circulating throughout the district since earlier this year.
