Abstract

Hawthorne’s ‘The Birthmark’ is one of his short stories whose theme falls among the domain of experimenting humannature in the fields of art, religion, and science. Regardless of the birthmark itself which represents the Original Sin, a conflictbetween masculine attitude and feminine perspective toward perfection and beauty is artfully manifested in this story. The paperstudy employs the notions of the beautiful and the sublime according to Immanuel Kant’s Observations on the Feeling of theBeautiful and Sublime in which he puts forward the idea that different sexes possess different perceptions of events andenvironment. From his viewpoint, women are mostly capable to feel the beautiful and sympathy, while men, with their tendencyto perfection, possess and convey the feeling of the sublime. Several events, disputes and descriptions in ‘The Birthmark’,clearly exemplify women’s zeal for beauty and men’s seeking the perfection. Hawthorne proves that oversensitivity to perfectionand sublimity can be a destructive force for the beautiful. One should not defy nature to reconcile his or her internal desires.Within the quest to win perfection by means of limited power of science, the only winner is true love.

Abstract

Hawthorne’s ‘The Minister’s Black Veil’ is one of his short stories whose protagonist has sunk in a gloomy depression.Since most of the male characters in such stories follow a procedure for a type of self awareness (this may happen out of theplot, as in Mr. Hooper whose insight has occurred before the story begins), the result of their journey within themselves isdarkness and depression. The present study sought the footprint of true virtue in drawing the character into such deep thoughtsthat resulted in his everlasting coverage of his face by a black veil. One of the best approaches which proved the truth of theminister’s virtue was the definition that Immanuel Kant presented through his Observations on the Feelings of the Beautiful andSublime. Kant made use of the theory of the four temperaments which influence human mental and behavioral traits. In hisattitude, a melancholy is, among the other personality, the most virtuous and capable for the feeling of the sublime. Inaccordance with the characteristics represented by Kant for each temperament, reverend Mr. Hooper is regarded as amelancholy. With his deep thoughts, most realistic insight, and black moods, the minister of the story exhibits a truly virtuouspersonality.

Abstract

Viewing Shelley’s The Cenci from the political upheavals of the nineteenth century would limit one’s response to the play to the issues of that century. However, this play continues to be played in the twenty first century, which makes one wonder how a modern spectator with a feminist inclination might react to the theme of rape and revenge. The Cenci shares with a number of movies flourishing with the rise of the second wave feminism during the 1970s, the theme of a female victim transformed into a hero-avenger, who takes law into her own hands and avenges herself in the face of a dysfunctional legal state. As revisions of the archetypal narratives of violation-revenge-violation, these modern movies have been praised for depicting heroines who are no longer powerless, miserable and victimized, but strong enough to avenge themselves with impunity. Though The Cenci repeats the traditional pattern of violation-revenge-violation, it focuses on the corruption and irresponsibility of the patriarchal legal system as well as its reformation, which have been neglected by both mythical narratives and modern rape-revenge movies. By reading The Cenci along with William Blake’s “Visions of the Daughters of Albion” and Shelley’s “Prometheus Unbound,” we examine how The Cenci challenges the modern rape-revenge movies and how Beatrice could have used her agency and her anger in a more effective way to fight against tyranny.
