Essays on Chivalry

Ancient pieces of art collection are usually hard to find. However, courtesy of the world’s leading museums, one can find assembled pieces of artwork that date back to over a thousand years ago. Among these museums is the famous Norton Simon Museum in California – United States. My visit to the museum was an amazing experience as an Art & Architecture student.

Chaucer presents chivalry as an expression of perfection in character, inspired by the desire to please divine authority. According to Hall, a Knight’s duty in the medieval time was to the King, with the King seen as God’s intermediary (Hall, 16). The author presents chivalry in a militant fashion, probably as a reaction to the prevailing circumstance of chaos that needed a militant hand to defeat the heathens. Chaucer, therefore, presents the Knights as noble images of perfection with chivalry as a mainstay in their duty to man and God, even though it does not bear success ...

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to show how the western media reported the Sino Japanese war and how China and Japan were portrayed. Several news reports portray the Chinese as being aggressive and violent individuals thus presenting the perception of the Chinese as being less victimized in the war.

This paper will further identify the underlying reasons for ideological inclinations of wartime reporting. ...

Quality health care means different things for different patients. For some, it would mean waiting in the queue for the shortest time possible while for others it would mean nurses going out of their way to be courteous. For health professionals, quality healthcare means providing treatment and services that will help patients to heal quickly and comfortably. Quality health services can be measured by the extent to which these services escalate the probability of medical outcomes that are desirable and consistent with present-day expert knowledge. A health facility that incorporates all these aspects of quality healthcare thus becomes one ...

Emma Williams’s Case

Arbitration is a formal process for determining a grievance between parties in a conflict. A labor arbitration process involves an employment-related dispute between an employer and employee. The authority of an arbitral award comes from the binding arbitral clause in a contract of employment or the authority given by the parties through the appointment (Walras, 2013). An arbitrator has quasi-judicial powers to investigate, listen to the grievances of the parties and provide a decision, which is binding on all parties involved in dispute. However, arbitration must be launched on time to have a force of law. The dispute in ...

Formalist Criticism of My Last Duchess

My Last Duchess is probably the best example of the dramatic monologue, a poetical form that was invented and applied essentially by one of the foremost Victorian poets, Robert Browning. A dramatic monologue should certainly have a character who speaks to some particular person, mainly certain silent listener, in the manner of a dramatic speech and has to take place in specific physical setting like that of a drama. The poem My Last Duchess definitely belongs to the dramatic monologue because it, at first, possesses three formal elements, such as an occasion, a speaker, and a hearer. Secondly, the ...

“Et tu, Brute?” Many people recognize this pithy question as Julius Caesar’s last words upon seeing Roman senator Marcus Julius Brutus, with whom he had a relationship akin to that of a father and son, among his murderers on March 15, 44 BC. The phrase roughly translates to, “You too, Brutus?”. However, there is no historical evidence these were Caesar’s last words; more likely; they were popularized by William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in the sixteenth century. Known as the Ides of March, Caesar’s death is one of the most famous political overthrows in all of ...

Jade has been an important part of Chinese culture since Ancient times, when it was used to make various weapons and tools. The reason for this is because it is believed to have positive powers.

The French Revolution was one of the most important moments in world history. The French Revolution symbolized that the ideologies and methods of the Enlightenment were no longer only the work of philosophes, academics and of the salons of Paris. The French Revolution was the moment when all of this theoretical knowledge regarding the way societies and governments should be organized left the pages and entered the streets, the cafes and the political clubs.  The French Revolution was the result of a crisis in France’s ancien regime and its assertion of the division of the state, the polity, ...

Neoclassical art fundamentally depends on an agreement with a group of work that has achieved significant status. Neoclassical artists were comfortable and familiar with the classics and synthesized the traditions to a new form in each of their work as opposed to repeating work in lifeless reproductions (Palmer 2011, 16). Each neoclassical work selects some models among the various possible classics which best suit their intentions. Some of the major neoclassical arts are paintings by Jacques-Louis David and Gilbert Stuart. Various neoclassic and naturalist works demonstrate the blending of inspiration of the past with relevance to contemporary life. Among ...

In Coriolanus, the titular character’s mother tells him “You are too absolute” (Shakespeare). Volumnia, in this case, is trying to convince her son to approach the common plebeians for their votes to the Senate.

Before I watched the adaptation of the eponymous novel by Jane Austen, I had the opportunity to know directly the product. I love syllable of Austin, her brushwork, irony and subtle English humor, behind which lies the limitless depth: the philosophical view of things, the principles of steel and tender feelings, capable of sacrifice. Her works are distinguished by a certain purity and innocence. It is touching for me, the representative of pampering generation and frankness in the relationship between men and women, invisible thread between Emma and her chosen one held in the exciting voltage. Jane Austen is ...

For the social fabric of the society to be in the required equilibrium state of balance, various documents in the form of regulatory constitutions are laid down in any society to govern the day-to-day human and state interactions.

Authority

The examination of the different characters in The Song of Ronald reveals the hierarchy of authority in the Early Medieval society. This epic poem showed that the people believed in God, though king Marsilie was known not to love God, but instead “worships Mahomet and calls upon Apollin” (Ronald 2). God occupies the highest position, and based on the readings, the loyalty of those who believed in him are answered favorably. For instance, on his way to avenge his men, Charles prayed that the Lord God will cause the sun to stop on its course and this was granted ...

The Tempest by William Shakespeare is interestingly simple yet complex in its own way. It has the complete recipe that categorizes it as a true Shakesperian play written during his time, with its magical theme as opposed to what ‘s real, the conflict between a father and his dhild, or between the old and the new, and the most apparent struggle for power. The play, with its constant reference to power and culture, appears to be an elucidation on European colonization. There were so much indication in the text, such as the arrival of Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, ...

Introduction

It has become difficult to distinguish once traditional media from the new media, as the former have integrated all the capabilities of the latter.

Ge Hong’s seminal fourth-century work Baopuzi is a fundamentally important work for understanding Chinese late-antiquity religion and its practices.

Along the way, Hong also showcases his immense fealty to, and support of, Confucian ideals of cultivating the self through study and political action within the Baopuzi. As a result, Ge Hong’s Baopuzi focuses on ways to fix the ...

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is an outstanding and unsurpassed in its mastery of mocking piece of literature that entertains the reader with its dynamic plot and nicely fitted characters. Although the novel appears to have no particular sense at first glance, it in fact aims at digging deeper to find the true meaning and correlate it with the overall sense of the book. What seems to be the story of a weird yet incredibly interesting in terms of observing character is actually the record of death of knighthood and, considering the bigger picture, description of changing social ...

Analysing current social events is an important task that raises the awareness of students of the contemporary global issues.

For instance, St George’s music festival is an entertainment event that brings together the young professional artists that took place on 12th March 2016 in Loughborough.

In today’s literary world, Robert Browning belongs to a club of great literary minds and is considered in retrospect to have been “one of the most important poets of Victorian England” (Martin 8). During his lifetime, however, his work received considerable criticism and was often not well-received. Much of the criticism was related to the unconventional form he took. Part of this unconventional form can be seen in Browning’s treatment of the aristocracy of his time. But before this can be discussed in terms of his work, it is first important to understand both Victorian England and ...

Social stratification can best be described as the division of people into groups that are determined by their power, material possessions and even prestige. That applies to people living within social boundaries such as nations because at least every country stratifies its members. To understand this analogy, two countries, Great Britain and Russia will be used in this essay. The main system of stratification that will be put to focus is class. In early England, wealth was regarded as very important, and it was used to determine a person’s social rank. Their education, family, as well as employment, ...

While ethics and interpersonal communications are not normally spoken of or considered as being meaningful to one another, in reality; they are intimately connected and relevant. The reason for this is that from the time we are born till we die, interpersonal communications or how we share information with one another is a basic fact of life. As such, society has developed values with respect to both the right and wrong ways that can share information. To be sure, since interpersonal communication is so necessary to life, whether we share information rightfully, or ethically, will have a significant effect ...

“On Love,” written by Andreas Capallenus, is about courtly love. It was written in the 11th century. Courtly love is akin to medieval chivalry.

Upper-class marriages were more of arranged unions either to seal deals or preserve nobility and royalty. This presented a desire for romance in most of these unions. Andreas appealed to the upper class to have a love that is fierce in itself, and that inspired ...

Some of the characters named in this passage include Lord Henry and Basil

Hallward. They are also some of the main characters in the story. From their names, the reader can tell that Basil is a good person.

Many people agree that the period of chivalry was probably the most interesting and fascinating. The word chivalry is mainly associated with knights and is usually described as institution of knighthood. It is also believed that chivalry presupposes such traits as courtesy, valor and generosity. It also presupposes helping the weak (such as women and children). It is clear that nowadays the concept of chivalry has become archaic.

Philosophy and Social Commentary in Spenser’s ‘The Faerie Queene’

Few books in the Western literary canon have elicited as broad a range of critical interpretations as Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene.

CONTEXT AND COMPARISON OF

In reaction to the decadence and corruption so pervasive in the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Reformation sought to introduce an asceticism into the artistic world of its followers. Martin Luther, as well as others who followed him, advocated the destruction of art in churches, particularly images of saints, muted color schemes for the artwork that remained, and an emphasis on images either of Jesus or of contemporary leaders and heroes of the movement. Joseph Koerner’s book The Reformation of the Image (2004) compellingly shows how visual art became indispensable to a religious movement built on words. In a time ...
