Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the meanings behind the characters and plot of one of the most monumental creations in the history of English literature, Percy Bysshe Shelleyâs 'Prometheus Unbound.' The author provides an analysis of the main outline and purport of this colossal performance. Specifically, it explores the myth of the drama, who Prometheus is, who Asia is, who Jupiter is, and who Demogorgon is. The author's interpretation delves into the meanings behind these characters as symbols, their relation to one another, and their significance within the broader context of human history and the human condition. The author argues that, in the drama, all the evil which befalls man is due to man's anthropomorphizing of the forces of nature and the creation of gods in his own image. The author goes on to elucidate the philosophical underpinnings of the drama, particularly the authorâs view that the only way to achieve true freedom and happiness is to reject superstition and embrace reason and love. The author concludes by emphasizing the significance of these insights for understanding the perennial human struggle against oppression.
