Nietzsche´s work criticizes the existing method of philosophizing which diverts man from his major problems. First of all it is neccessary to deal with human life and to understand what determines life and what defines world. Human life is dominated by the will to power. However it depends, wheather man recognizes the will and wheather he follows this awarness. So far, man has been controlled by emotions which are often considered to be the truth. The will to power predetermines the human evolution to the higher level - the Superman ( Der Übermensch). The Superman is able to implement the will, to become a completely free beeing, controlling everything within his reach - even humanity. The Superman is driven by his own benefits, creating a new morality in which it applies that good is what is useful for life of a Superman. Existing humanity seeks in its weakness support in the faith in God. Only Superman is able to avoid this domination, because for him God is dead. life is what constantly arises and expires in its particular actions. The way of the world is determinatd by the eternal return, which is accepted by a Superman.

It is in Section 125 of The Gay Science that a madman shouts in the market place that the nihilist society killed God . By replacing the divine figure by the human being, by annihilating the transcendence and affirming the immanence, he promotes the Requiem . The metaphors announced pointed out to the end of a world view that served as the basis for the Western world and had now come to an end. In Nietzsche s opinion, God s death represents the end of the supreme values, the end of the Jewish-Christian moral and the destruction of the Socratic-Platonic metaphysics. A caustic critic of moral and religion, Nietzsche found the key to the labyrinths, showing that both are detractors and deniers of life. For the German philosopher, it was Socrates and his disciple Plato who erected the metaphysics with the dichotomy between the real world and the fake world. However, Nietzsche tries to destroy with his hammering philosophy such paradigm, which obscured the Western world perception for millenniums. The Christian religion is also seen, in his sharp point of view, as a product of the Socratic-Platonic metaphysics, which exhorts the crowd s moral and resentment, therefore denying life as it is here and now, with its happiness and challenges, leading mankind to an after-world existence, a supra-sensitive world. The Christianism is the moral of decadency, according to Nietzsche. His hammer should destroy this world view and create another way to face existence. If God dies, the human being is left with the possibility to construct him/herself, to be sure of life, to accept it / O réquiem divino: a morte de Deus em A gaia Ciência de Nietzsche, objetiva mostrar o itinerário que o filósofo percorreu para constatar e decretar o maior de todos os acontecimentos. É no fragmento 125 de A gaia Ciência que um louco anuncia na praça pública que a sociedade niilista assassinou Deus . Ao substituir o divino pelo humano, ao aniquilar o transcendente e afirmar o imanente, ocorre o réquiem . As metáforas anunciadas apontam para o fim de uma cosmovisão que alicerçava o mundo ocidental e agora chegou ao fim. Para Nietzsche a morte de Deus representa o fim dos valores supremos, o fim da moral judaico-cristã e a destruição da metafísica socrático-platônica. Crítico mordaz da moral e da religião, Nietzsche desvendou os seus labirintos, revelando que ambas são detratoras e negadoras da vida. Para o pensador alemão, foi Sócrates e seu discípulo Platão que erigiram a metafísica com a sua dicotomia entre o mundo verdadeiro e o mundo falso; entretanto, Nietzsche procura destruir com a sua filosofia a marteladas esse paradigma que obscureceu o pensamento ocidental por milênios. A religião cristã também é vista na sua aguçada visão como um produto da metafísica socrático-platônica, que prega a moral do rebanho e o ressentimento, negando consequentemente a vida aqui e agora com suas alegrias e desafios ao direcionar a existência para um além-mundo, um mundo supra-sensível. O cristianismo é a moral da decadência. Seu martelo deve destruir essa cosmovisão e edificar uma outra forma de se posicionar frente a existência. Morrendo Deus, resta ao ser humano a possibilidade construir a si mesmo, de afirmar a vida, de dizer sim à vida

In this thesis, the concept of style transfer for visual storytelling is introduced. Style transfer for visual storytelling is the process of identifying a definitive style of a source, such as an artist or culture, and applying the features of that style to a target, such as a character which has a different style. As a proof of concept, the style of the American film director Tim Burton is transferred to a character from Hindu mythology, Yamah. The style transfer is done based on the concept of 'Pattern Language' introduced by Christopher Alexander et al., in his book, 'A Pattern Language'. A set of patterns is developed based on the source and target. The target is then designed based on the patterns. The design is then visualized in a suitable medium.
