Crazy Abat You Cave

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Explanation of Meme This meme was meant to express the frustration I get trying to have meaningful discussions about fictional media with people online. I saw this painting and felt it align with my exasperation on a spiritual level, especially the almost melted, stringy, and haphazard look of the painting. You can still make out the shape of the female subject, but all the parts of her sort of melt into one another.

Intro to Renaissance & Webster The Renaissance was a time of rebirth and resurrection for the arts, the sciences, and the maths, with an overall focus on scholarly development. This time period followed the Dark Ages, also known as the Middle Ages, and extended from approximately the 1300s to the 1600s. The Dark Ages marked by diseases and wars had given way to new light to be shed upon Europe during the Renaissance. While the movement provided great technological and informational advancements and visually artistic masterpieces, it is pertinent to focus on the writers of this period, most notably John Webster. John Webster , born in 1580, was an amazing Renaissance playwright. He was considered one of the last great Elizabethan playwrights and his work, The Duchess of Malfi , is considered one of the best Jacobean tragedies.
