Three main characters, three young soldiers. One is Dan Fuselli, he is an optical worker from San Francisco, naively thinks that war is fun, Chris Field, farmboy, hates the army, was forced to join it. John Andrews, he is the intellectual of the three. He is also very sensitive young man and wants to be a musician. He and Chris Field desert the army. Andrews hides with a French girl and starts writing a symphony and is arrested later. War is hostile to the artist. And destructive of his art. This novel is written in more or less anti war. ,,Manhattan transfer"- truly modernist novel. Ruinous effect of capitalism on human lives. The scene of action is New York. The city itself becomes the central character, the whole novel is an attempt to show the complex nature of the novel metropolis-huge city. It is a truly modernist level in any sense, tries to imitate devices used by cinema. Late 1920's the cinema was already very
Marlowe implies in this passage that the natives were abused, used relentlessly for labor until they were spent, at which point they were "allowed" by the civilized whites to crawl into the grove of death to die. Truly a barbaric and dehumanizing view, using the natives only for their labor power, with no concern for their health or even their existence. 4. James Joyce as a master of European Modernism.

The feeling of intolerable loneliness. One such story is "The Man of the Crowd" the secret of a man who seems to be strangely alienated from human fellowship, the narrator chases the man, still the man remains a mystery. The narrator's feverish in the man's identity symbolises human desire for selfdiscovery. Poe adored the idea of the Doppelganger, uses this motif to stress the complexity of human nature. Another Poe's favourite topic is the impossibility for the artist to escape from the practical world "William Wilson", something haunts the narrator to chase him from country to country, he's been haunted by himself. The theme of Death fascinated Poe. He's interested in death with all its horrors. "Berenice" a man digs out the body of his dead pride, pulls out her teeth. Metempsychosis the belief in the transmigration of the soul. "Ligea" a revenant (she has returned from earlier ages, centuries). Arabesque
In Europe, Vronsky and Anna struggle to find friends who will accept their situation. Whilst Anna is happy to be finally alone with Vronsky, he feels suffocated. They cannot socialize with Russians of their own social set and find it difficult to amuse themselves. Vronsky, who believed that being with Anna in freedom was the key to his happiness, finds himself increasingly bored and unsatisfied. He takes up painting, and makes an attempt to patronize an emigre Russian artist of genius. Vronsky cannot see that his own art lacks talent and passion, and that his clever conversation about art is an empty shell. Bored and restless, Anna and Vronsky decide to return to Russia. In Petersburg, Anna and Vronsky stay in one of the best hotels but take separate suites. It becomes clear that whilst Vronsky is able to move in Society, Anna is barred from it. Even her old friend, Princess Betsy - who has had affairs herself - evades her company. Anna starts to

possession A boy can play cops. This natural tendency to imitate is combined, Aristotle says, with a tendency toward rhythm or pattern, and the result can be a work of art. In its simplest form the imitative theory appeals to the naive " How lifelike that wax apple is!" "How like a Frenchman that actor looks!" THE IMITATIVE THEORY Aristotle theory includes such a close copy of nature as a wax apple, but it goes farther. Artist refines nature, showing not what happened but what should happened in a world free from accident. The artist does not imitate servilely (), he recreates reality and presents it to us in a fashion in which we see its essence more clearly. The artist's imitation is more than a copy of what is apparent to every eye, his imitation is in some measure a creation. It is imaginative and interpretive, it reflects a special view of reality THE IMITATIVE THEORY
paintings. A new current was set in motion by Rossetti, who was a poet as well as a painter. He developed a style full of mysterious undertones, using colour not to describe nature realistically but to suggest mood and feeling. William Hunt (1827-1910) He was the leading member. Kept true to the original aims of the brotherhood. He wasn't as talented as the other two. His works have been said to be remarkable force. Hunt was a well- known artist during his lifetime.
