Compare and Contrast Analysis Act 3 of The Valkyrie, opens with the eight Valkyrie sisters driving home the dead heroes on their horses. As the voyage moves slowly down the slope, Bruennhilde appears out of the blues and requests for a horse for a Sieglinde. Since the Valkyries have heard the news about the disobedience done by Brunnhilde, they refuse to grant her the horse. Brunnhilde thinks that eastwards will be the safest place. As such, she gives her the slinters of Nothung, enlightening them that this is the most important hero in her womb and tells her that she has to give him a name as Siegfried.

The Relationship Between Art and Evolution Conventional wisdom has it that art is a medium of expression. Art is an expression of the human senses, and some scholars have pointed out that art could simply be an illustration of what happens in the human mind. In this way, art has been instrumental in facilitating different interpretations of a global society by various artists. Whether through observation or imagination, these artists have been able to offer their artistic account of society through their eyes. Over the years, global society has changed, and consequently, the art produced has also changed. The change that has been witnessed in society can be credited to evolution. The genetic variation of the human species has enabled the adaptation and development of the human mind and senses, which has led to the progression of the global society. Some scholars have suggested that art is an adaptation that served an evolutionary agenda that enhanced curiosity, creativity, and intelligence among people. Other scholars have argued that art has been a medium through which evolution has been depicted. Even…
Humor in Music The joke by Haydn refers to the ending on the E-flat major quartet Op. 33 No. 2 in its last movement. In the whole action, Haydn depicts the traits of being a trickster. The opening movement sees Haydn setting a relatively balanced and jovial theme (Palmer, 23, 2017). The joke is the last movement is a rondo, a form where principle ideas alternate with different tunes that are often in another song. The joyful and fleet idea in this movement is evident. The idea gets filled with hesitant pauses that either depict the performers’ or Haydn’s uncertainty when they are about to reach the end. The pause at the last parts grows anxiously and is finished off with a whisper and is often related to a parody of “storm and stress” drama in Haydn’s Op. 22 quartets. The joke in Haydn’s eyes came across as a new way of theme elaboration while immediately exploding them into smaller fragments that are easily manipulated and recombined in numerous ways. The beauty in the solemn Largo sostenuto slow movement share…

Wealth inequality Wealth inequality is a common form of social inequalities in the current world. Wealth distribution in America has been a debatable topic for many years. The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen despite implementing various economic strategies. Unequal distribution of wealth in America has restricted the country from achieving its full economic potential. In America, wealth is unequally distributed among people of different social classes, races, and gender. Due to wealth inequality, the American economy is controlled by a few powerful individuals. The need to maintain the status quo is a major cause of wealth disparity between the rich and the poor. Rich people use their already accumulated resources to undermine the poor. According to Karl Marx, the domination of the rich over the poor results in wealth inequality. The negative impacts of racism widen the gap between the rich and the poor in America as per the racism theory. In America, men have a much higher control over the economy as compared to women. Although policies have been implemented to increase women’s participation…

Irish theatre and Drama Irish Drama has always had a significant influence on the lives of the natives and the drama composers themselves. Religion and politics form a substantial basis of the works of most of the Irish drama composers. During the 1846 famine, there was a high renaissance of the Catholic Church (Sternlicht, 2010). The clergy benefited from the financial gains at the expense of the Irish peasant. While the lower class natives struggled to survive, the church led by the clergies took a political stand at the expense of the spiritual one. The political position was taken by the church to safeguard their status and the wealth of the church. Yeats is recognized as one of the people who influenced the Irish Drama as it is seen today. Yeats opened the way for the criticism and rejection of Irish Catholic priests and religion as a whole. One of the styles that Yeats and succeeding writers use is the absence of priests from their Drama. The Irish priests are replaced with new priests-the artists (Sternlicht, 2010). The artists are…
