Auden's poem called "Musee des beaux arts" and Brueghel's painting: "Landscape with the fall of Icarus" both address human kind's indifference to suffering.  I think the painting creates a more powerful emotional response in the viewer than the poem.  In the painting the farmer continues to plow while Icarus is falling, something completely out of the ordinary is happening, Icarus symbolizes human failure and the impossibility to fly, which definitely brings suffering, but the farmer continues working.  You can clearly see the farmer's indifference, he is even facing backwards, the viewer cannot see his expression since he is facing backwards.  The painting is very powerful, since you must pay attention to detail to understand it, it is surprising once you understand that the image of Icarus symbolizes failure and suffering, it is a very important mythological event but nobody seems to be paying attention to it.  While reading the poem, I felt it was much more rational and did not show the farmer's indifference, it does not involve the reader in the way the painting involves the viewer.

Which interpretation is a possible theme of Ovid’s “The story of Daedalus and Icarus”
babunello [35]

The correct answer is C.

A possible theme of Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" is how human creativity can lead to amazing discoveries, gagdets and inventions; but at the same time these can easily lead to pain and suffering if used in the wrong way.

In the story, Daeadalus was a great inventor, but it was his own device that caused his son's death. Icarus' recklessness lead him to ignore his father's warnings about flying too high or too low, and his wrong usage of the man-made wings lead him to his doom.
