Résumé

récupéré en direct d'OpenAlex

A noteworthy technique that American writer Willa Cather (1873-1947) uses for effecting characterization is by having character contain light within; light becomes vital elan vital, essential spirit operating within. This becomes apparent to sensitive observer through features actions of individual. Cather seems to capture symbolic significance of light when she establishes light in center of individual. J. E. Cirlot claims that traditionally, is equated with spirit.... The superiority of spirit is immediately recognizable by its luminous intensity. (1) Light imagery has become favorite technique of Cather's to depict characters. Focusing on examples of light imagery in some of novels, I hope to show how this inner light, which flashes through protagonists' eyes features, corresponds to their states of mind as they go through trials triumphs of life. The Song of Lark (1943) is Willa Cather's depiction of spirit, desire, yearning of Thea Kronborg, who tries to realize artistic personality. (2) Cather apparently believed that best way to define Thea's personal artistic struggle was to convey it through image of bright internal fire, intensity of which fluctuates according to intensity of artistic endeavor. The Greeks are known to have represented spirit as a gust of incandescent air, (3) light has traditionally been symbolic of creative force, of cosmic of irradiation. (4) Cather's extensive use of light to picture Thea's artistic spirit creativity is aesthetically justifiable, however much it is exploited. Thea Kronborg's childhood is bathed in light. She loves brilliant desert mountains surrounding Moonstone, bright garden rooms of Kohlers (Thea's neighbors, who host piano teacher), white illumination of moon. At this early stage, piano teacher perceives special qualities of artistic sensitivity in her, she seems to have a face full of light energy, of unquestioning hopefulness of first youth. Yes, she was like flower full of sun (SL 122). However, reader is not struck by allusion to internal fire until Thea matures discovers talent for singing. At this point, internal light is made manifest through features, which appear to emit thermal glow of fire within. Until this point, Thea thinks she will realize potential at piano, but day she sings for music instructor, Harsanyi, is never quite sure where light came from when face suddenly flashed out at him in that way.... At such moments hair was yellower, skin whiter, cheeks pinker, as if lamp had suddenly been turned up inside of her (SL 241). Going through periods of doubt concerning potential to be an artist, Thea appears to childhood friend, Dr. Archie, to be tormented: a light seemed to break upon face from far away--or perhaps from far (SL 307). Dr. Archie feels that knows nothing about Thea during these times as she stands before him and glittered like that all over (SL 308). Thea receives opportunity to sing before professional scrutiny of Mrs. Nathanmeyer, an opera expert, escort Fred remembers how remarkably brilliant beautiful she had been when she sang at Mrs. Nathanmeyer's: flushed, gleaming, round supple, something that couldn't be dimmed or downed (SL 362). The striving artist in has been awakened, fire within is growing stronger. Thea becomes fully illuminated (visually in addition to spiritually) to Fred's observant eyes at Panther Canyon. Watching Thea on distant crag, gets the impression of ... kind of brilliancy of motion (SL 397). When Thea kisses Fred, he felt flash into everything that she had ever suggested to him, as if she filled out own shadow (SL 402). …

Imitation des enseignants

Ni prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
