Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Birthmark tells the tale of Aylmer and Georgiana. They are husband and wife, but it is not a typical love story. Aylmer is a psychotic scientist, out of his mind on a journey to control those around him. Georgiana, use to men lusting after her beauty and birthmark, is a tender, vulnerable, intelligent woman who only wants to make her husband happy. While they are both technically human, the characters are primarily different for many reasons. Aylmer is perhaps one of the maddest and most complex characters in literary history. While intelligent, he is intellectually ...

Beatrice Warde’s iconic essay, “The Crystal Goblet,” was originally presented as “Printing Should Be Invisible” in the form of a speech at the British Typographers’ Guild in 1930, London. The numerous subsequent re-printings indicate the impact Warde had on the design world at the time. Warde’s essay is a discussion of the old tenent “form follows function.” The central metaphor of the essay is whether it is preferable to drink wine, i.e. the content, from a crystal or a golden goblet, i.e. the form (39-40). The transparency of the crystal goblet allows the drinker to be primarily ...

Édouard Manet’s paintings were just as controversial as he was himself. This is clearly seen through some of his very famous paintings which include The Absinthe Drinker/The Philosopher (1859) and The Luncheon on the Grass (1863) which were rejected by the Salon at the Louvre. His other controversial and rather shocking painting is Olympia which also received its share of criticism. Through these paintings, it is clear that he was a man who went about provoking the people’s minds and therefore sparking arguments and different perceptions.

Alcohol has a similar history. Once used as something that would relax an individual after a long day of work, it is now something that people become addicted to every day.
