The beginning of the 20th century was a time of change across the globe. Whether it was rapid growth in city populations, industrialization or global conflict, it was clear that a new and modern world was taking shape. Modernism was an artistic movement that grew out of this changing landscape of life during this time. Modernism, for the most part, represented the struggle that many had with the way that new ideas and discoveries challenged their previous lives during a time when tradition didn't seem so important anymore.
This artistic movement grew strength first in Europe in the early 20th century, eventually growing in the United States. It was fueled by domestic shifts (increase in city life, technology and wealth, for example) as well as changes on an international scale (like World War I). As this stable structure of a strong, patriotic nation began to weaken, so did the writing of the time reflect the uncertainty of its citizens. Growth, prosperity, fear, war, death, money, materialism, psychology and disillusionment all contributed to the creation of a modern literary movement in the United States; one that was very much a reflection of the unease of a people who felt that the old rules and the old ways of living and thinking were no longer relevant.
Stream-of-consciousness is a very stylistic form of free indirect discourse. It is not spontaneous, or unintentional, or anything of the sort. In fact, if anything, it's just the opposite. It's highly stylized, but also purposeful and calculating. It sees the world wholly through the character's mind instead of through their senses, save for how the mind and the senses interact.
It relates to a lot of things - free association, synesthesia, free indirect discourse, without actually being any of them.
<span>There's only a handful of writers that can actually do stream-of-consciousness writing with any success - Joyce and Faulkner come to mind immediately. In short, there's nothing wrong with trying it, but there's also nothing wrong with not having done that, but having done, say, free association instead.</span>
Answer:
In the epic, Dante expressed his political views and speculated about his adversaries' fate. Dante intended to also illustrate his journey after leaving Florence behind in writing the Inferno, as well as give insight into the atmosphere of Italian politics in the middle of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th.
It is Gustave Dore's work that contains some of the best images of Dante's Inferno. Instead of watching the story unfold on a screen, you get to decide how it will play out in your mind when you read the book. My impression of Dante's Inferno is that it is extremely dark. In contrast to other artists such as William Blake, Dore's illustrations are dramatic, intense, and detailed. As Dante focused on punishment for sin, Dore also depicts the characters of the Inferno as suffering varying punishments. A sense of the darkness and danger of sins and punishments that Dante discusses is conveyed by Dore's illustrations of Dante's Inferno.
