BD 3 Literature 1 answer below »

/in /by

Character creation can be as varied as the many genres of literature that you have explored. Many characters are created by observing real people and adding other special qualities. As literary enthusiasts and critics, each member of the literary club is also an observer of fictional characters. Therefore, this week, the literary club will be discussing the traits illustrated in a favorite fictional character. Discuss with your classmates the following:“I sometimes used to ask myself, what on earth did I love her for? Maybe for the warm hazel iris of her fluffy eyes, or for the natural side-wave of her brown hair, done anyhow, or again for that movement of her plump shoulders. But, probably the truth was that I loved her because she loved me. To her I was the ideal man: brains, pluck. And there was none dressed better. I remember once, when I first put on that new dinner jacket, with the vast trousers, she clasped her hands, sank down on a chair and murmured: 'Oh, Herman….' It was ravishment bordering upon something like heavenly woe.” ? Vladimir Nabokov

PART 1

In the quote above, Vladimir Nabokov describes in detail 2 characters to acquaint you with their physical traits and personalities. Think about the personality traits of your favorite character from a novel, film, or television series that you can share with the literary group. How would you define the mannerisms, consistent action, or dialogue of the fictional character? What is the specific aspect of the character’s traits that makes you loyal to this particular character? Discuss with 2 or 3 classmates how your character is similar or different from the characters they present.

PART 2

Discusswith others why some of the characters presented would or would not be believable in the real world.

Return to the situation described in Chapter 2 in which Galileo Galilei might be confronted by the Inquisition. Let us describe what actually transpired. First, Pope Urban VIII referred Galileo to the Inquisition, and he was brought to trial on April 12, 1633. After verbal persuasion from the commissary general of the Inquisition, Galileo confessed that he had gone too far in supporting the Copernican theory in one of his books (even though he hadn’t). Galileo was then given an “examination of intention,” which involves showing the instruments of torture to the accused. The final hearing by the Inquisition was held on June 22, 1633, at which time the 69-year-old Galileo pleaded for mercy because of his “regrettable state of physical unwellness.” With the threat of torture and imprisonment lurking in the background, the Inquisitors forced Galileo to “abjure, curse, and detest” his work. Galileo complied in every way and was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment and religious penances. Due to his age (and possibly his fame), the sentence was commuted to house arrest. He was allowed to return to his villa near Florence, where he would remain for the last years of his life. That is history, and now we turn to our simple modeling of it. The extensive form game in Figure 2.3 is reproduced here as FIGURE PR8.1.

a. Find all Nash equilibria. (Hint: First derive the strategic form game.)

b. Find all of the subgame perfect Nash equilibria.

c. For each Nash equilibrium that is not a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium, explain why it is not a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium.

Compare and contrast the differences between authors’ perspectives of American identity, or Americanism. Both positive and negative views are expressed, but do we see a shared idea of what an American is?

Consider the vision of new, independent America and the reality of that idea throughout our readings. Does the reality align with the vision?

In Emerson’s “Self-Reliance,” social convention and conformity is challenged. Though, in essence, his philosophy was created on the foundation of many other philosophies, Emerson attempts to represent genius in his challenge against the “lie” of society, of man. The question is, can man actually transcend this lie and rely on his inner self, or is man’s truth the lie? Are we creatures of nature and creativity, or creatures of community and imitation? Do we have to choose?

Stylistically, how do our authors differ in their arguments? We have very different styles and methods of argument from Crévecoeur to Paine to Murray to Irving to Emerson to, finally, Longfellow. How do this literary practices reflect changes in political and cultural thought in America?

Even though Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason was originally directed and earned him a bad reputation, it reflected the changing religious and theological attitudes of early America. How does Age of Reason anticipate the eventual shift to ideological or philosophical visions that may or may not defend theology?
