1. Theatricality and drama. Monteverdi is the pioneer of opera as a dramatic fusion of music and text. Caravaggio's paintings are extremely dramatic and even theatrical. The faces are expressive, and never in a conventional way - they are angry, bored, sexually aroused, corrupt, decayed. It is never a passive representation of a scene. It is always brimming with drama.
2. The strange mixture of sacred and profane. Caravaggio used street hoodlums for models when he painted sacred scenes (e.g. The Calling of St. Matthew), and he painted courtesans in a dignified manner. Monteverdi's Poppea ("L'incoronazione di Poppea") is a courtesan lover of Nero, the Roman emperor. The two of them have extremely passionate and sensual duets together, including the tender "'Pur ti miro" at the end of the opera.
3. Music as inspiration. Caravaggio often painted musicians with lutes and other instruments. Monteverdi not only composed opera, but composed opera about music - his L'Orfeo is a piece about the sheer power of music and its impact on the world.
4. Fascination with dark corners of human psyche. Caravaggio obsessed over irrational, wicked, flawed personalities. Monteverdi also puts them in the center of all his major works. Even though he is a half-god, his Orfeo is very flawed and might even be considered weak, as he errs all the time. His Nero is extremely depraved. Even his madrigals couldn't just be simple love songs - they are called "Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi" - "Love and War Madrigals".
Eight things we call art is paintings, drawings, clay sculptures, music, poetry, pottery, dance, and song.
"Being Earnest" is a play written by Oscar Wilde that was first published on February 14th, 1895. The play is a comedy that touches in an almost satirical way very important subjects of the Victorian society, the main one being marriage.
<h3>
Dialogue poke fun at a society </h3>
Correct option is D
- Wilde makes the characters discuss marriage throughout the whole play, in lights of whether it is a pleasant or unpleasant disposition, but with most of them agreeing it is needed.
- The writer is poking fun at how the society takes marriage too lightly, by having Gwendolen saying that her brother proposes to all her friends, in order to practice his proposal speech.
- The message of the dialogue is to show how proposing and marriage itself had become just another thing that must be done in order to be taken seriously, but that is no longer deeply considered.
