ENGL 304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Synecdoche, My Last Duchess, Pathetic Fallacy
Document Summary
Lady of shalott: an ellipses in the rst line. On either side [of] the river lie : for the meter, republished this poem. The rst was more childish: took 10 years to republish, virtue is assigned to beauty, the lady notices what she does not have. Friends, a knight, mobility: does not know the fate of her curse, why look at camelot. She looks when she hears him sing. He is virtuous: he exudes light, parabolic drift. The message is not straight forward explained: woman are the moral illumination. Lady of shalott punished for leaving: woman worked in factories. Middle classes showed wealth by not working. Porphyria"s lover: the description of the storm has human qualities, pathetic fallacy. When you take your own emotions and nd it in nature: the beginning half of the poem porphyria is in charge. Arranges the narrator when he doesn"t reply: then explains why she has come.
