Myrtle is a variety of the color green. It is immoderately dark, slightly more so than the color spinach.
Myrtle the official designation of the green stripes on Waterloo Rugby Club's shirts, the green of Hunslet Hawks Rugby League Club and the green of the blazers, sports kit and scarf of St. Aloysius' College, Glasgow.



The Myrtle is an Italian literary fairy tale written by Giambattista Basile in his 1634 work, the Pentamerone.[1]
It is Aarne-Thompson type 652A.[2]

[edit] Synopsis
A woman wished for a child, even a sprig of myrtle, and gave birth to such a sprig. She and her husband put it in a pot and tended it. A prince saw it, took a fancy to it, and finally persuaded her to sell it to him. He kept it in his room and took great care of it.
One night, a woman came to his bed, and came every night thereafter but vanished in the morning. After seven nights, he tied her hair to his arm. In the morning, she confessed to being the myrtle and they pledged their love. After some time, he had to hunt a wild boar, and he asked her to become a myrtle again while he was gone. She told him to attach a bell to her and ring it when he wanted her back. While he was gone, seven wicked women found their way in and rang the bell. Seeing the woman, all but the youngest tore her to pieces. The chamberlain, in despair, put the pieces back into the pot. The myrtle sprouted again. When the prince returned and rang the bell, she did not reappear. He saw the ruin and despaired. Seeing it, the woman reappeared from the sprouts.
The prince, with his father's leave, married her. At the wedding, he asked what was the suitable punishment for anyone who would tear his bride to pieces. Many punishments were proposed; the seven wicked women said the criminal should be buried alive. The prince agreed and had the six of them buried in a dungeon. He married the youngest sister to the chamberlain.

[edit] Real-world perspective
Articles about fiction, like all Wikipedia articles, should adhere to the real world as their primary frame of reference. The approach is to describe the subject matter from the perspective of the real world, in which the work of fiction and its publication are embedded. It necessitates the use of both primary and secondary information.
Exemplary aspects of real-world perspective include:
Careful differentiation between the work of fiction itself and aspects of its production process and publication, such as the impact a work of fiction has had in the real world (see also below)
Careful differentiation between narrated time and fictional chronology on the one hand, and narrative time and actual chronology of real-world events on the other (of particular relevance to all film and TV-related topics)
The presentation of fictional material
particularly for film and TV-related topics, this may include cinematographical aspects
for literature, this may include writing style and literary technique
Description of fictional characters, places and devices as objects of the narrative
Making (referenced!) mention of the author's intention
See below for a list of exemplary articles which employ a consistent real-world perspective.

[edit] The problem with in-universe perspective



Shortcuts:
WP:INUNIVERSE
WP:IN-U
An in-universe perspective describes the narrative from the perspective of characters within the fictional universe, treating it as if it were real and ignoring real-world context and sourced analysis. The threshold of what constitutes in-universe writing is making any effort to re-create or uphold the illusion of the original fiction by omitting real-world info.
Many fan wikis and fan websites (see below) take this approach, but it should not be used for Wikipedia articles. An in-universe perspective is inaccurate and misleading, inviting unverifiable original research by relying on primary source. Most importantly, in-universe perspective defies community consensus as to what we do not want Wikipedia to be or become.
See also the sections on fair use, accuracy and appropriate weight, and templates.
Problems associated with an in-universe perspective include:
Disregarding all or most aspects of a work of fiction as a creative endeavour.
A plot synopsis written like a historical account.
A fictional character article or section written like a biography.
Description of fictional places written like a geographical account.
Using infoboxes intended for real world topics.
Discussing a fictional topic's appearances in major works and obscure spin-off material in equal detail.
Using throwaway comments or jokes as a source of information.
Trying to reconcile contradictions or fill gaps in a fictional continuity, rather than reporting them as such.
Placing spiritual successors in the same continuity as the works that inspired them.
Using image captions for film stills and screenshots asserting that what is depicted is the character, rather than a film scene depicting the character.
Referring to the fictional events or dates which occur in the story, rather than the fictional works themselves.
Ordering works by their fictional chronology, rather than the actual order they were published.
For example, if a fictional TV detective loses a partner in the line of duty, taking an in-universe perspective will obscure whether this occurred in the backstory, the pilot or the main series. If the partner died in the pilot, but is the subject of little-known prequel novels, then an in-universe perspective may describe the partner in excessive detail. If later episodes have events which suggest the dead partner never existed, this is impossible to describe from an in-universe perspective, and editors will have to try to explain away such continuity errors themselves, leading to original research and inaccuracy.


 

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald’s Gatsby Symbolizes the Illusion of American Dream
© Cicely A. Richard
Nov 4, 2008
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a reflection of the time period in which it was written.
The Great Gatsby defines the generation of young people who lived during the "Jazz Age," the Roaring Twenties. This is a time when new wealth is attained and illegal booze flows freely. In his work, Fitzgerald brings readers into the lives of restless young people of the era and clips away at the fallacy of the American Dream. The symbols in The Great Gatsby represent the illusions and failures of that dream.
One important symbol is the Valley of Ashes situated between West Egg and New York City. This desolated area, used as a dumping ground for industrial waste, represents the plight of the poor. George Wilson and Myrtle, George's wife and Tom Buchanan's mistress, live among the ashes. Myrtle's affair with Tom is emblematic of her unrealistic hope to rise above the ashes.
The wealthy, though, are so busy enjoying the fruits of their riches and seeking their own gratification that they ignore the poor, turning their heads as they pass by this desolate region. Surrounded by West Egg and New York City, the valley illustrates how the poor are not only being smothered to death by the industrial ashes but also suffocated by the encroachment of the uninterested wealthy.
Another symbol in the novel is the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg, staring down at everyone from the faded billboard in the valley. The eyeglass wearing figure eerily watches over the goings on between the characters in the story. Doctor Eckleburg's eyes represent God watching them as they pursue live of moral degradation that exists in America at that time.
Because the eyes are between the two centers of wealth and hope, it's like God is saying, "I see you," to the characters as they descend into moral poverty and use those who are helpless, like Tom does to George and Myrtle. The symbolism of the eyes becomes more apparent when a grief-stricken George goes on his quest to kill Gatsby, the man he believes killed his wife.

The color green is mentioned in The Great Gatsby more than 50 times. Thus, this is the most important symbol of the novel. Green, in general, represents youth, hope, and birth. In the novel, a green light is visible on the dock of Daisy's East Egg home. Gatsby sometimes stand at the end of his West Egg home and watches the light, as if the light is beckoning him to reach his goal to get Daisy.
For Gatsby, his American dream is completely wrapped up in the rebirth of the young love they once shared with one another. As with any dream, however, the reality is disappointing. He finally gets the fulfillment of this much hoped for dream, but like the green grass of spring, it fades into something ugly and dies.
All of the important symbols in The Great Gatsby illustrate that the American Dream is an illusion, a fraud for many people. For those who want to get that dream, like Myrtle, the dream is not attained because they end up being used by the person they hope becomes their benefactor.

Chance

"Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish."
-Ovid

Are we ready for opportunity when it presents itself? We don't have x-ray vision, we can't see around corners, but good things are always there for us at every turn. We can make the most of chance by being prepared to say "yes!"
