Social Progress

Social Progress

One the first page of “Social Progress” an article that reads in the cosmopolitan it has these two men that are fishing. The picture of these fishermen have pessimistic on one and optimistic on the other. What I found to be really interesting about this figure is the tie it had to Greek theater and the plot of the text itself. The tie it had to Greek theater was the iconic faces of the comedy and tragic masks that were used in Greek theater to represent these two essentials in theater. And I believe that this adds to the meaning and elbow grease Cosmo’s publications showed at those times. However, it made more sense because they summarized the text with this picture of these two fisher men (One representing pessimistic and the other optimism occurrences in society).
