“Theodosius was chaste and temperate; he enjoyed, without excess, the sensual and social pleasures of the table, and the warmth of his amorous passions was never diverted from their lawful objects. The proud titles of Imperial greatness were adorned by the tender names of a faithful husband, an indulgent father; his uncle was raised, by his affectionate esteem, to the rank of a second parent.” PassionFatherNamesSocialParentPleasureHistoryObjectsGreatnessProudHusbandTablesRaisedEsteemSensualEnjoyedTitlesFaithfulWarmthExcessUnclesRoman EmpireAffectionateChasteAmorous Book:History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire V3: the History Focus Source: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire V3: the History Focus
“Fitzgerald describes the social disillusionments and ballroom romanticism of the young people of the upper classes and the loneliness of Gatsby, who gives large parties and has an extensive social life; yet he is lonely, and his guests scarcely know him.... Hemingway's characters live in a tourist world, and one of their major problems is that of consuming time itself. It is interesting to observe that his works are written from the stand point of the spectator. His characters are usually people who are looking--looking at bullfights, scenery, and at one another across cafe tables.” PeopleKnowsWorldGivingCharacterProblemYoungSocialInterestingPartyClassWrittenLonelinessMajorsLonelyTablesGuestsSpectatorsConsumingTouristsSocial LifeRomanticismSceneryDisillusionmentCafesUpper ClassBallroomMajor Problems Author:James T.
