What could be defined as art?

Honest Iago
Words: 2158 / Pages: 8 .... of malignity. That one has a "disposition to do evil" is to say evil is in the nature of the malignant person; motive is not an issue. "Motiveless malignity" is redundant in the pure meaning of the words. Does Coleridge mean to say that Iago cannot help himself from being evil or does he mean that what Iago did was without motive? For the sake of this discussion, Coleridge intends the later.

Berger's "Ways Of Seeing"
Words: 638 / Pages: 3 .... an interpretation of its significance. "The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe." When an image is presented one reflects on their beliefs or prior knowledge causing a sudden blindness to occur. You only see what you choose to look at.

The setting of this book can be analyzed here; the Spanish Civil War in the 1920-30 time period is the setting for the book, on the battlefields in the Spanish countryside.
