King Tutankhamun‚ the pharaoh of Egypt‚ died because he was assassinated by his chief advisor‚ Ay. I know this because of the painting that was found in his tomb. In his tomb‚ there was a picture of Ay at King Tut’s funeral wearing leopard skin and a pharaoh’s crown when he was only a commoner. This proves that Ay killed King Tut because he knew he could be pharaoh if King Tutankhamun died. Also‚ I know that King Tut was killed by Ay because there were two more deaths that followed Tut’s. King Tutankhamun’s

Goodness is the supreme Form or Idea governing For Keats Beauty and Truth are identical. For Shelley “Beauty is Goodness‚ Goodness Beauty.” Rather than an aesthete‚ Shelley is primarily a moralist preoccupied with Goodness: his works are often directly linkable to his social‚ political‚ and religious status quo and his poetic theory tends towards the pragmatism of doing good. What Shelley calls “intellectual Shelley beauty” is but “inner beauty” or “virtuous goodness” that finds its embodiment in an ideal

All the King’s Men Commentary #1 We left the bay‚ and lost the salt‚ sad‚ sweet‚ fishy smell of the tidelands out of our nostrils. We headed north again. It was darker now. The ground mist lay heavier on the fields‚ and in the dips of the road the mist frayed out over the slab and blunted the headlights. Now and then a pair of eyes would burn at us out of the dark ahead. I knew that they were the eyes of a cow-a poor dear stoic old cow with a cud‚ standing on the highway shoulder‚ for there wasn’t

JOHN KEATS (1795-1821) * He’s the forerunner of the English aestheticism. * Member of the Second generation of Romantic poets who blossomed early and died young. He is Romantic in his relish of sensation‚ his feeling for the Middle Ages‚ his love for the Greek civilization and his conception of the writer. He was able to fuse the romantic passion and the cold Neo-classicism‚ just as Ugo Foscolo did in “LE GRAZIE” and in “I SEPOLCRI”. * He was born in London; he attended a private school

WD Commentary Emily Dickinson’s main purpose in poem 355 is to describe an indefinable depression. She creates a melancholy persona to depict the chaos and despair she feels because of her condition. Her poem is structured around her uncertainty towards her mental state. Dickinson‚ in the first two stanzas‚ eliminates possibilities to what she may be feeling. She analyzes that “it was not death”‚ “it was not night”‚ “it was not frost”‚ “nor fire”. The poem appeals to the human sense of touch‚ as

Shelley’s poem is a melancholy meditation on the transience of youth and life’s happiness. This central idea is explicitly made obvious through different stylistic devices. To begin with‚ the theme is mainly built on contrast. The speaker’s sense of loss is in fact reinforced by a central thematic opposition between past happiness and present sadness. The vanished pleasures of the speaker’s youth are indeed contrasted to the difficulties and sadness of his present as an old man. Stanzas‚ too‚ are
