Johanna Merirand Reflective Statement How was your understanding of the cultural and contextual considerations of the work developed during your interactive oral? My comprehension of the traditions and culture of the ancient Greek was substantially enhanced through the discussion we had on the conflict between men and nature in Antigone by Sophocles. The two main characters in the play are Antigone and Creon, who both are motivated by their hubris and the need for glory. In the play, Antigone rebels against the rules set out by Creon, when she attempts to bury her brother even though it has been prohibited by the state. Antigone is sentenced with a death penalty, which is found unreasonable by many of the other members of the society. In the discussion we explored the nature of men and authority in comparison
Milline oli Kreeka hiilgavaim ajastu: klassikaline või hellenistlik? Nii palju, kui on erinevaid inimesi on ka erinevaid arvamusi. Nagu me koolis kõik õppinud oleme on Kreekal kaks tähtsat ajastut. Klassikaline ja hellenistlik. Klassikaline periood u 500-338 aastat eKr oli väidetavalt Kreeka tsivilisatsiooni õitsengu tipp. Ligi 150 aastat erakordset loovat mõtlemist, kirjandust, teatrit ja kunsti. Näiteks tuntud tragöödia loojad nagu Aeschylus, Sophocles ja Euripides ning ülikuulsad filosoofid nagu Sokrates, Platon ja Aristoteles. See oli siiski ka verevalamise ja sõjapidamise ajastu. Hellenismiperiood 338-30 aastat eKr. Aleksander Suur täitis Pärsia vallutamisega oma isa Philip II plaanid ja lõi suure impeeriumi, mis ulatus Indiani ja hõlvas ka Egiptust. Hellenismi perioodil levis üle vallutatud maade kreeka keel, religioon ja kultuur. Nii kestis see peale Aleksandri surma kuni 323. a e kr, kui roomlased hakkasid tema loodud
The preludes and intermezzos of the first movement resemble short contrasting pictures. There are four of both. In the theme of the Fugue, the thematic influence of the main theme of Tubin's Fifth Symphony is evident, but Rosenvald's theme is of a different weight: Example 116. The Eighth Symphony (1974) has a series of sound pictures: the composer calls the work a ballet-symphony. Its idea is connected to Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone. Although there are no ballet dances in the symphony, the division into scenes is perceivable and the author has been deft in creating impressive and characteristic musical backgrounds. Having no clear-cut plot, the work has certain features of a Divertissement. The mature works of Rosenvald may be characterised as being laconic and displaying active images, expressing tensions, satire, grotesque and grief but there is
Titanic has been criticized for not dramatizing this or that substory — the Carpathia's race to the scene, the stories of the Astors and Guggenheims, the difficulties of the telegrapher in getting out distress calls, etc. But no film could tell all the substories. Storytellers of the future can choose other incidents and personalities to highlight. It will take the combined output of many artists to fully tell the tale of the Titanic, just as it has taken Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, Strauss, Kazantzakis, H a l l m a r k Productions, Classic Comics, and thousands of other artists to fully tell the epic story of the Od yssey, itself only one of dozens of epic cycles in the superstory of the Trojan War. As a story about the rapid crossing of the Atlantic, Titanic symbolizes this century's preoccupation with speedy travel and increasing global consciousness. It speaks of centuries of European culture passing to America, of the waves of i m
