Classical vs. Renaissance

Architecture: The Pantheon was part of Classical Roman society and was used because it was aesthetically pleasing, used little materials and had more room within the structure. Fillip Brunelleschi created an octagonal dome which had a few advantages. The main advantage to this new structure was that it didn’t require an arch to support it which even small domes back then required (another structure using this being the Pantheon). There were also a

few more layers of materials in the structure making it more immune to weathering. Just as a small point the octagonal dome was stable because a round dome was within the structure. Poetry: Grave poems are apathetic (have no feeling) down to earth, and direct. Love poems are ambivalent (unable or uncertain of what course to follow), satirical, simple, and honest. In the renaissance there were similar tones but Shakespeare added structure to poems. He added in the form of a sonnet or rhyme scheme, syllable count, number of lines, and basic contradiction at the end. This was different because classical poetry basically said the same thing throughout the work. Plutarch vs. Shakespeare: Plutarch wrote about historical events from a plainly historical viewpoint. He wrote to tell people about important figures and events. William added in characters that were not historical figures and included the parts of a story (conflict, exposition, rising action etc.) because he wanted to entertain people in order to make money. He thought history was boring in comparison to a story.
