On the poem “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus”

English
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
6 0
According to its title, Brueghel's painting is meant to portray the Fall of Icarus. It shows Icarus' legs splashing into the water as his wings fail. As the title also implies, it shows a landscape, seemingly just to give a setting for the fall. 
Auden's poem references specific details from this painting, but does so with the intention of pointing out how people, too often, ignore other human suffering. Her poem focuses on the bystanders in the painting, and how they are all turned away from Icarus as he experiences this tragedy.

From what you have read and previewed, which statements are true of both "Pyramus and Thisbe” and The Tragedy of Romeo and Julie
Nataly [62]

The children must hide their love from their families. In the end, the children die as a result of their love. The love between the children is forbidden.

In "Pyramus and Thisbe" the parents simply do not want their children falling in love with each other. We do not know the reason for this and are not told of any feud or conflict. This means that any option that has to do with a conflict between the families should not be chose. Since the children have to hide their love from the families in both pieces of literature, it is safe to say that love between them is forbidden. In the end, Pyramus and Thisbe, Romeo and Juliet die because of their love for each other.
