![]() Khan tells him, " You return from your voyages with a cargo of regrets!" The payload of compunctions, therefore, is a metaphor that reveals that Marco Polo is regretting missing many opportunities that could have made him a better person. However, he is now revealing to the emperor that his memory of Venice makes him feel regrettable. Marco Polo's primary role has been traveling and exploring the Tartar empire and report the findings to the emperor Khan. The metaphor, 'payload of compunctions' emerges from Marco Polo's feelings of unexploited opportunities. ![]() Which metaphor emerges from Marco Polo’s feelings and compunctions about the wasted opportunities in Venice? In other words, the bad state of affairs in Khan's empire are expected to get even worse. Therefore, the awful smell of the environment is evident and there is no way this smell is going to fade away because the corpse is irrevocable. In this simile, the reader notices that Khan is painting a nauseating picture of the entire empire under him. Italo Calvino uses the simile " rotting like a corpse in a swamp, whose contagion infects the crows that peck it as well as the bamboo that grows, fertilized by its senses of humor" to depict the sense of smell to the reader. ![]() How does Italo Calvino depict the imagery of smell to the reader in Invisible Cities ? Written by people who wish to remain anonymous We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. The experience, the senses, the memory - the dreamlike fragments we keep when we visit a new city, a new place are discussed and portrayed in order to show that imagination is itself a space we inhabit.These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. Is our basic interpretation of things based on our lived experience? Do we every so often solely see what we want to see? On the other hand, there is the unseen and its various interpretations attached that will be deciphered in this paper. Henceforth, this paper approaches the manipulation and creativity of the human imagination. The consequent similarities and discrepancies will indicate the infinite number of ways of imagining virtual things based on people’s lived experience and memory. In the second part of the body, the cities Calvino portrays will be traced as subjectively visualized in this thesis author mind and compared to other people’s personal interpretations. However, the subjective individual perceptions occur to be a large part of the decoding process, as the evocative descriptions of the imagined places has been investigated by numerous literary writers, yet all with different analogies. How do people relate to the spaces described? What is the architecture behind imagination and perception? Through trying to decode the messages held within his book, this thesis will cautiously investigate and interpret these questions by analysing the deep relations between people and their experience in architectural spaces. What was he doing? Where are these cities located? What purpose do they have? Why are they invisible? The creativity, the dreams, the imagination without limits. These never-seen cities become haptic - they become, almost, real. When reading Calvino’s narrative that space becomes tangible. There is usually an abstract space we inhabit when we read a book. Calvino names these cities invisible, yet his narrative is extremely visual, in the mind. Mythic, unreal and ethereal descriptions of cities serve as a metaphor to describe the decaying of some architectural principles with the start of the modern era. Eleven themes are to be tackled and inserted alternately in nine chapters, whereas some contain different definitions or subjective interpretations. Its aim is to interpret and defragment it, thus the structural organisation being the same. This thesis is structured like the book Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.
