What are the key similarities between Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream?

Allushta [10]3 years ago

Tolstoy's novel and Munch's painting show the darkness hidden within everyday life. Ivan Ilych was a mediocre man until his sickness forces him to reckon with his mortality. His story shows that people go through life pretending that they will not die, and that knowledge of death can make all the petty distractions of life meaningless. In Munch's painting, the screaming figure can be read as experiencing a devastating realization. Perhaps he is just know admitting to himself that he will die. Both works show emotional challenges that humans face, though other options are also valid: one could argue that they show the artists’ struggle with the concept of the afterlife and, at the same time, that they are a celebration of human life and spirituality. Even though the story makes no promises regarding what will come after, Ivan Ilych gains a greater spiritual insight through his ordeal. Facing death both shows the limits and the possibilities of human life.

2. What is emphasized in W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" but not in Pieter Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus? Fr
Hatshy [7]

Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus points that our individual suffering doesn't matter compared to the whole world since a single individual is just a grain of sand compared to the whole world. This leaves the viewer with his or her own opinion. In the painting, the idea of over prideful suffering is shown in only a tiny splash that we know from the title of the work must be Icarus falling into the ocean. The rest of the scene is quiet and calm, as if the whole world continued without a care. Rather in Auden's poem, it obsesses about suffering and seems to grieve at the idea that our individual suffering isn't more important. The poem takes on a very powerful vocabulary using words like "suffering", "martyrdom", "disaster", and "forsaken". Many readers can agree that they both have very similar ideas.
