Class 4 dante’s inferno william blake the real one
Dante's Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Florentine poet Dante Alighieri between 1308-1321. It describes Dante's journey through the three realms of the dead - Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. The work has been illustrated by many artists throughout history seeking to visually interpret and render the meaning of Dante's words. William Blake created 102 drawings between 1824-1827 to illustrate Dante's work, bringing his own perspective while remaining faithful to the text. Blake paid close attention to the poem's details and themes of sin, guilt, punishment, and salvation in his illustrations.

18th century poetry
This document provides biographical information and samples of poetry from four prominent American poets of the 1800s: William Cullen Bryant, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It discusses their styles and contributions to American poetry during that time period, such as Bryant writing in an English romantic style about the New England countryside, Dickinson questioning the nature of immortality through nearly 1800 poems, Emerson as a founder of Transcendentalism, and Longfellow having the gift of easy rhyme and melody. The document includes short excerpts from works by each of the four poets.
Greek tragedy
Greek tragedy originated from the dithyramb, a hymn to Dionysus. There are various hypotheses about the origins of the term "tragedy" including that it comes from the Greek words for goat and song. Aristotle defined key concepts of tragedy including imitation, catharsis, hamartia, and the tragic hero. Tragedies were performed as part of religious festivals, usually featuring three playwrights each presenting three tragedies and a satyr play over three days.

Shakespeare's themes1 by lukas
Shakespeare explored many themes in his works, including brutality, power hunger, betrayal, plotting, fate, superstition, ambition, corruption, revenge, madness, love, jealousy, and the conflict between appearance and reality. His plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and Richard III dealt with these themes and examined human nature. Shakespeare also used sonnets to explore themes of love, beauty, and the ephemeral nature of life. His works remain widely studied today because the themes of human nature and condition are still relevant.
Structure of Greek play
The structure of a Greek play consisted of a prologue, parados, episodes separated by songs from the chorus, and an exodus. The chorus' songs included a stasimon after the first episode and a commos at the end involving actors. A Greek tragedy followed specific conventions - it had a beginning, middle, and end; illustrated the downfall of a heroic figure due to a mistake stemming from hubris; and elicited emotions of fear and pity in audiences. The structure of modern tragedies includes an introduction, development/complications, climax, denouement, and catastrophe. Key differences between classical and modern drama include religious focus versus entertainment, mythological versus normal characters, the role of fate versus personal

Lesson 2
European/Western culture was heavily influenced by Greek culture, especially in the arts. Greek literature began through an oral tradition of telling stories and reciting poetry. Homer's epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, though not written down until centuries later, were influential works that shaped Greek culture. Tragedy and comedy also emerged as dramatic forms, with playwrights like Sophocles and Aristophanes popularizing the genres. The arts of architecture, sculpture, painting and pottery also flourished in ancient Greece.
Chapter 8 THEATER We sit in the darkened theater with many str.docx
Chapter 8 THEATER
We sit in the darkened theater with many strangers. We sense an air of anticipation, an awareness of excitement. People cough, rustle about, then suddenly become still. Slowly the lights on the stage begin to come up, and we see actors moving before us, apparently unaware of our presence. They are in rooms or spaces similar to those that we may be in ourselves at the end of the evening. Eventually they begin speaking to one another much the way we might ourselves, sometimes saying things so intimate that we are uneasy. They move about the stage, conducting their lives in total disregard for us, only hinting occasionally that we might be there in the same space with them. At first we feel that despite our being in the same building with the actors, we are in a different world. Then slowly the distance between us and the actors begins to diminish until, in a good play, our participation erases the distance. We thrill with the actors, but we also suffer with them. We witness the illusion of an action that has an emotional impact for us and changes the way we think about our own lives. Great plays such as Hamlet, Othello, The Misanthrope, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Long Day’s Journey into Night can have the power to transform our awareness of ourselves and our circumstances. It is a mystery common to much art: that the illusion of reality can affect the reality of our own lives.
Aristotle and the Elements of Drama
Drama is a collaborative art that represents events and situations, either realistic and/or symbolic, that we witness happening through the actions of actors in a play on a stage in front of a live audience. According to the greatest dramatic critic, Aristotle (384–322 BCE), the elements of drama are as follows:
1. Plot: a series of events leading to disaster for the main characters who undergo reversals in fortune and understanding but usually ending with a form of enlightenment—sometimes of the characters, sometimes of the audience, and sometimes of both
2. Character: the presentation of a person or persons whose actions and the reason for them are more or less revealed to the audience
3. Diction: the language of the drama, which should be appropriate to the action
4. Thought: the ideas that underlie the plot of the drama, expressed in terms of dialogue and soliloquy
5. Spectacle: the places of the action, the costumes, set designs, and visual elements in the play
6. Music: in Greek drama, the dialogue was sometimes sung or chanted by a chorus, and often this music was of considerable emotional importance; in modern drama, music is rarely used in serious plays, but it is of first importance in the musical theater
Aristotle conceived his theories in the great age of Greek tragedy, and therefore much of what he has to say applies to tragedies by such dramatists as Aeschylus (ca. 525–456 BCE), especially his trilogy, Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides. Sophocles (ca. 496–406 B.

IB A1 literature Paper 2 Points of Comparisson
I would reccomend IB students to check the presentation.
Hello, here you will find a presentation establishing the points of comparison between Othello, Dr. Faustus, A Streetcar Named Desire and Glengarry Glen Ross. The presentation starts stating the exam criteria, then there is a comparison between the heroic concept of renaissance and modern tragedies. After that, you will find an analysis of the protagonist characterisation with the dramatic technique used to create each characteristic and a couple of quotes supporting the claim. I did the same for the antagonists and secondary characters. I briefly mentioned structure and setting. At the end you will find past paper questions.
I hope you find it useful! Good luck to everyone

Presentation2
The origins of Greek theater can be traced back to ancient hymns called dithyrambs that were sung in honor of Dionysus. These evolved into choral performances where participants wore costumes and masks. Greek tragedies and comedies were performed in outdoor theaters with a circular orchestra space for dancing and a seating area carved into hillsides. Major playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Sophocles' plays like Oedipus and Antigone featured complex characters and themes of human fate and free will.

- 4. ODE TO KARL MARX Old father of the horrible bride whose wedding cake has finally collapsed, you spoke the truth that doesn’t set us free— it’s like a lever made of words no one’s learnt to operate. So the machine it once connected to just accelerates & each new rap dance video’s a perfect image of this, bodies going faster and faster, still dancing on the spot. At the moment tho’ this set up works for me, being paid to sit and write & smoke, thumbing through Adorno like New Idea on a cold working day in Ballarat, where adult unemployment is 22% & all your grand schemata of intricate cause and effect work out like this: take a muscle car & wire its accelerator to the floor, take out the brakes, the gears the steering wheel & let it rip. The dumbest tattooed hoon —mortal diamond hanging round the Mall— knows what happens next. It’s fun unless you’re strapped inside the car. I’m not, but the dummies they use for testing are. (CP 169)

- 7. Anti-Romantic You meet your daemon & respond with contempt for all depth & poetry driven by love and breath self-conscious bitterness is best, besides lust or a detached disgust — as long as there’s nothing hysterical about it Art & life both require this but your attitude like inspiration disappears, leaves you ugly & stranded, the moment you admire it (CP 162)
- 8. Sydney Harbour Considered as a Matisse One slip & you’re back, via Whiteley & Ken Done to what our boosters can’t tell it’s distinguished from: her number lipsticked on a crumpled Amex slip, or a forex dealer with a view, still chatting on his phone, fucks someone from behind. Pink tinged clouds decorate a perfect afternoon, white yachts weave & tack – the images don’t change beneath a varnish that embalms disgust – girls reduced to tears just once, blokes in sports cars fuming, their parasite careers. Can art be good enough to save all this, plus the perfume of frangipani blooms crushed on sandstone piers? Maybe just. (CP 186)
