Iranon, Prince Of Aires
To begin with, the first character I would like to bring light to, is Iranon, Prince of Aires from the short story, “The Quest of Iranon”, whose curiosity regarding the world, roots “from Aira, a far city that [he] recalls only dimly but seeks to find again”. (Lovecraft, 44) For further detail, Iranon was so fascinated about discovering the world and finding his home, that he “went out of the stable and walked over the narrow stone streets between the gloomy square houses of granite, seeking something green in the air of spring”. (Lovecraft, 46) With that said, through this example, one idea which proposes the reasoning for why the Prince of Aires did not surrender to the reality of the world, and took excessive measures to find Aires, is the fact that he was not satisfied with his life, and longed for the missing puzzle piece in his life, to be glued again. …show more content…
Specifically, in the text it states, Iranon much hoped to “go to Oonai, … where man shall know [his] longings and welcome [him] as brothers, nor ever laugh or frown at what [he] says”. (Lovecraft, 47) Moreover, this lack of happiness in Iranon’s state of life, is reinforced where he expresses, “the soldiers at Jaren laughed at me and drove me out, so that I wandered to many other cities”, attesting to my understanding that Iranon was curious towards the world, as he wanted to recreate a time where he was free from stigmatization. (Lovecraft, 47). He wanted to sense and “remember the twilight, the moon, and soft songs, and the window where [he] was rocked to sleep”, as he had “long missed thee,

    Inner Peace In Only Ten, By Allan Baillie

    In “Only Ten,” Allan Baillie explores Hussein’s journey and his transformation from being consumed by fear and trepidation to feeling a sense security and stability. Similarly, to “Wanderlust” the journey allows one to escape loneliness and experience the brightness of life. The representation of the alive and fruitful plants evoking inner peace is explored in “smelling the fruit, pressing at the earth and even listening to the leaves” contrasting his desolate past in Iran. The repetition of “nothing” in “nothing green, nothing growing” emphasizes the lifelessness of his childhood and explores his need to seek inner peace found in the brightness of the plants. This concept mirrors, the persona in “Wanderlust” having the desire to escape her…

    Alexander I Dbq

    The 19th century was marked by the uprising of the middle class and the spread of revolutionary ideas caused by the French Revolution, which ultimately led to the outbreak of war all across Europe. Once France was defeated, the Vienna Congress met to discuss the future and fate of Europe. The purpose of the Vienna Congress was to establish an international framework for continental cooperation and the maintenance of the balance of power. This aided the emperors of Russia, Austria as well as Prussia to focus on internal state issues instead of warfare among European countries. Internally, these emperors were concerned with the spread of revolutionary ideas, which originated in France and questioned the traditional authority. This research paper…

    Symbolism In Lolita

    This same truth can be found in Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita”. Like Gatsby, the protagonist, Humbert of the novel Lolita fantasizes of attaining another person and also succeeds. Humbert dreams of grasping and possessing his flawless Lolita who has no will and who can satisfy his sexual desires. The parallelism between these situations is that in Humbert’s quest of molding Lolita, she is completely destroyed, her innocence is snatched from her and so is her right to live. In the same way Tehran’s regime ends up damaging the country and most importantly Islam by utilizing it as an “instrument of oppression” thus wounding the country more profoundly than any other foreign country could have done. In each case, either a person or group of greater…

    Akhenaten - the Leader

    Egyptology has always been my passion since I was a child. When I first visited the UK in 2000, the first place I wanted to see was Gallery 4 of the British Museum where I met the Sun King, Akhenaten, for the first time. His sculpture the features of an unusual man who sported an elongated skull, a pot belly, and a peculiar set of eyes. The image was different from those perfectly chiselled statues of other Egyptian pharaohs. I was so intrigued that I decided to follow him to his homeland.…

    Cathedral: Allegory of the Cave and Narrator

    As the philospoher Seneca once said, “It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.” Raymond Carver’s Cathedral is a story about a man who started out as a closed-minded man but, throughout the story his character changes as he begins to bond with his wife’s friend, Robert, a man who is blind. Plato’s Allegory of the cave is a story about a prisoner who is freed from being locked in chains living all of his life underground and finding out a different perspective about a lie he’s been living his whole life, being told as a conversation between Socrates and Glaucon. In the stories, “ Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, and “ Allegory of the Cave” by Plato, both authors argue that a person’s reality is not always what is seems to be.…

    The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe: Discussion Questions

    FOR the most wild, yet most homely narrative, which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not -- and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified -- have tortured -- have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror -- to many they will seem less terrible than baroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the common-place -- some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects.…

    El Greco

    Domenicos Theotocopoulos, otherwise known as El Greco, was born in Crete in 1541 and died in 1614, Domenicos was a talented Cretan painter, architect, and sculptor. He was given the name El Greco, translated literally as "the Greece", because he was born on the island of Crete in 1521 and at that time Crete belonged to Greece. El Greco lived on the island of Crete until the age of 25 when he left to explore the world. In Venice, El Greco worked under Titian who was considered the Great Master of Venice. After a couple of years in Venice, El Greco moved to Rome and studied the works of Michelangelo and Raphael. By 1577, El Greco settled in Toledo, Spain where he lived the rest of his life. In Spain El Greco mostly painted pictures for religious foundations and portraits. A large amount of El Greco's paintings were made for Toledo and its neighborhood where he produced many versions of his most famous pieces during his career. Although El Greco's art had started to become manneristic, which can be defined as an artistic style of the late 16th century characterized by distortion of elements such as scale and perspective, it was still greatly influenced by the Byzantine-Greek religious style. El Greco announced his Cretan origins by signing all of his artwork with Greek characters. El Greco had also received a commission from King Phillip II for the Escorial which is a group of many complex buildings located thirty-one miles northwest of Madrid. The Escorial was the conception of King Phillip II and includes a convent, a church, a palace, a library and a mausoleum for the Spanish monarchy. El Greco painted an altarpiece of The Martyrdom of St. Maurice for the church at the new monastery-palace of El Escorial but King Phillip was not fond of the work and placed it in a different part of the building and hired another artist to paint the replacement for the altar. The king disliked the work because of the emphasis of the characters in the foreground. El Greco…

    Horror, Fantasy, and Curiosity

    Fantasy has been able to entertain a widespread area of different demographics, although still a relatively young literary genre, in comparison to others such as romance, gothic, etc. The reason for its success is partly due to its psychological impact on the human mind; specifically how it is able to play into a human’s desires to re-enact their imaginative sequences. Regardless of who the person is, they still have their own curiosities, desires, and imaginations. In Sigmund Freud’s Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis, he describes how children begin to form curiosities about life, such as adulthood, sexuality, etc. He goes on to mention that for a child to explore his curiosities through imaginative role playing, such as pretending to be…
