Poetic Devices

Making links

Write posts in response to the following:

"O, What a rogue and peasant slave am I!"

Write a passage thesis that contains: character, themes, tone.  Include the main lines of the character/passage's arguments/ideas



identify the key devices in the passage



2 links---pick a theme, for example "self-loathing."  Connect to 2 texts studied:




If you couldn't, then here are 2 I will propose to you:

--Marlow in Heart of Darkness

--Pecola in The Bluest Eye

For each, identify the self-loathing within its context, compared to Hamlet's, and discuss, stylistically, how the authors achieved this.


Now, consider talking about characters from last year:
madness in Darl
tragedy in Troy
vengeance in Frankenstein
role of women in Pride and Prejudice
