Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus."

What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?

The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting Landscape With The Fall of Icarus. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.

Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:

there are several different forms of presenting this; each has a very specific format. plays have a very simple format; teleplays, for television shows, or screenplays, for movies, have more complex and strict rules for formatting.

drama

the first of these to be written for the express purpose of being performed were created by the greeks. many of our modern terms derive from greek origins.

comedy

in the greek sense, a play that doesn't end in death. in modern usage, refers to a play that is humorous.

tragedy

in the greek sense, a play that ends with the death of at least one of the main characters. in modern usage, refers to a play that doesn't have a happy ending.
