Abstract Expressionism
Words: 1561 / Pages: 6 .... A central figure of German Expressionism, Kandinsky, in 1911,
began to paint densely layered composition of free-floating lines and areas
of color, with the intention to reveal his desire to instill visual form
with the properties of music. By 1915, Malevich had invented a new,
abstract visual set of paintings consisting of one or more colored
geometric shapes on a white field. He visualized a state of feeling, and a

Richard III
Words: 724 / Pages: 3 .... Despot rulers are simply driven by fear. Their anxieties and
insecurities lead to a hatred that has a desire to destroy, deep-rooted in
violence. Despot rulers are also never satisfied with the power they have at
any given time, thus exposing their constant fear of retaliation from their
subjects. This examination of the despot ruler by Plato clearly shows the
motives by which despot rulers rule, but it fails to explain why and how these
motives originate in the human mind.
In order to comprehend why such a high level of fear and insecurity can
be brought about, a look at the upbringing and personal life of Richard should
be brought into dis .....

/Still questioned me the story of my life/From year to year- the battles
sieges, fortunes/That I have passed.”(I, iii, 128-131) The numerous battles
and the hardships of war wear a man down. The stresses of everyday things
at work get to us but the stresses of battle must be and uncountable times
worse. Othello seemed to be and was mentioned as a good leader with the
respect of the Duke. The stresses of being a black man leading an army of
white soldiers that might respect you as a leader but might not respect you
as a human would affect you also.
Othello seemed to handle the stre .....
