1. The five characteristics of the quest are a quester, a destination, a reason that has been stated to go there, the challenges along the way, and the real reason for the destination. 2. An example of a quest is in the movie, Shrek. 1. Quester: a male ogre who lives alone in a swamp, but is disturbed by the fairy tale characters who were sent away by Lord Farquaad. He is a hostile introvert. 2. A place to go: In order to find peace at home, he agrees to rescue Princess Fiona for Lord Farquaad to marry so that the Lord can take the fairy tale characters back. He then goes to the castle to save Princess Fiona. 3. Stated reason to go there: Rescuing and return Princess Fiona for Lord Farquaad will lead to ridding Shrek’s …show more content…
An example of a negative communion was in Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth invited guests over for dinner to celebrate him being crowned as king. Macbeth hired three guys to murder Banquo and and Fleance. During dinner he begins to get paranoid and hallucinates Banquo’s ghost. He freaks out and starts screaming, causing the dinner party to go downhill. This scene represents fear. 8. The essentials of a vampire story are an older figure seeking a young female, taking away her innocence, sexuality, and the death of the victim. 9. Vampires and ghosts can represent a parasite that leeches on to its victim and sucks the life out of them and using them to get what they want until the victim cannot give anymore and is rendered useless. They grow stronger while their victim grows weaker. 10. When Foster says “if it’s squared, it’s a sonnet,” it means that sonnets are in the shape of a square because the length is 14 lines long and each line has 10 syllables, which is about the same length. 11. A poet can work its magic on the reader by “choice of images, music of the language, idea content, and cleverness of wordplay” (Foster 17). 12. A Petrarchan Sonnet has two parts, one stanza that contains 8 lines and another containing 6. It “uses a rhyme scheme that ties the first eight lines (the octave) together, followed by a rhyme scheme that unifies the last six (the sestet)” (Foster …show more content…
Questions reader should ask when trying to determine symbolic meaning: “what’s the writer doing with this image, this object, this act; what possibilities are suggested by the movement of the narrative or the lyric; and most important, what does it feel like it’s doing?” (Foster 59). 45. “Nearly all writing is political.” 46. Foster says most literature can be called political because most of these works has a time period setting and writers write about issues about social classes or rights or races of that time period. Political means 47. “...to get the most out of your reading of European and American literatures, knowing something about the Old and New Testaments is essential. Similarly, if you undertake to read literature from an Islamic or a Buddhist or a Hindu culture, you’re going to need knowledge of other religious traditions.” This is because religion shapes different culture and to better understand allusions in literature, one must understand biblical references. Or being aware of religious traditions and culture of a country outside yours can help you better understand the
The five aspects of the QUEST are a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials en route, and a real reason to go there. I believe these aspects have been shown in the popular movie Shrek. Shrek fulfills the title of a quester because he is an ogre living alone in a swamp until one day Lord Farquaad takes away his home. The destination for Shrek and his partner Donkey is the Dragon’s Castle to rescue Princess Fiona. The stated reason to travel there is that if Shrek is capable of rescuing Princess Fiona and bringing her back to Lord Farquaad, he would be allowed to return to his swamp and move on with his lonely life. There are many challenges throughout Shrek’s journey. When Shrek and Donkey arrive at the large
symbolic richness, but at the same time the poem supplies the reader with a wide
The sonnet, however, is not simply a fourteen-line poem having a prescribed rhyme scheme. Certainly most sonnets are fourteen-line poems, and most sonneteers do confine themselves to prescribed rhyme patterns (Bender and Squier xxii).
As we can see in sonnet 18, there are ten syllables in each line and five ‘feet’. The ‘feet’ form the patterns of (X /).
The two main group of sonnets (1-126 and 127-154) discover a number of parallels, some of which are merely conventional and commonplace. In two of the sonnets (46 &
Other popular Italian sonneteers were Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), Italy's most famous and most accomplished writer, and Guido Cavalcante (1255-1300). The perfection of the Italian sonnet is generally associated with the work of Francesco Petrarca who became the most powerful inspiration for the love poetry of Renaissance Europe. The Petrarchan sonnet is divided into two stanzas, the octave (the first eight lines) followed by the answering sestet (the final six lines). The first stanza presents a theme, and the second stanza develops it with some abstract comment . The rhyme scheme is as follows: (1) first stanza (octave): ABBA, ABBA; (2) second stanza (sestet): CDE, CDE (or CDC, CDC; or CDE,
A sonnet contains fourteen lines; each line with five iambic feet or ten syllables. The rhyme scheme follows one of two different
A Shakespearean sonnet contains fourteen lines, structured with three quatrains, each containing four lines, and ending with a rhyming couplet written usually dominated by an iambic pentameter, which consists of ten syllables divided into five pairs, the iambs, with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Anthem for doomed youth corresponds to the structure of the Shakespearean sonnet. Another structural element usually included in a Shakespearean sonnet is the rhyming scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, with Anthem for doomed youth’s only deviation being the EFFE. As Wilfred Owen’s poem contains the required elements of the Shakespearean sonnet, it can evidently be said it should be placed in the genre.
Shakespeare’s sonnets are intensely personal and are records of his hopes and fears, love and friendships, infatuations and disillusions that in turn acquire a universal quality through their intensity.
In this sonnet, Shakespeare employs the use of the Elizabethan sonnet style to juxtapose social and emotional wealth. The structure of the sonnet is comprised of fourteen lines which make up three quatrains and a couplet. The first quatrain has the rhyme scheme “abab”, while the second and third quatrains have the rhyme scheme “cdcd” and “ebeb”. The final couplet has the rhyming scheme “ff”. It is
First we will start with a sonnet. Let’s start by talking about just what a sonnet is. “Before Shakespeare’s day, the word “sonnet” meant simply “little song,” i.e., a short lyric poem” (poetry.about.com, 2010). By the 1200’s, the sonnet had come to be known as a form of poetry that is comprised of 14 lines.
The sestet and octave have special functions in the Petrarchan sonnet. The sonnet is separated into an eight-line stanza as well as a six-line stanza. The first paragraph (with eight lines) is referred as an octave and follows the rhyme sequence: a b b a a b b a. Moving on, the second stanza (consisting of six lines) is called a sestet and follows one of these rhyme patterns: c d c d c d, c d e c d e, c d e c e d, c d c e d c, c d d c d c. This shape makes the sonnet a self-sufficient form, open to shades of mood and tone. The final two lines cannot end in a couplet because the couplet was never used in Italy or by Petrarch.
Over a hundred sonnets written by William Shakespeare consistently contain crisp creative words in a fourteen line pattern. The patterns of lines are broken down into three quatrains of four lines a piece followed by a rhymed couplet. These sonnets all have the same meter, first eight lines describing a problem followed by the four lines of response.
In the first chapter, “Every trip is a quest (even when it’s not)” the author talks about a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges on the way, and a real reason to be going there. He says the real reason for a quest is always self-knowledge, self-discovers, and self-fulfillment. And Lord of the rings and Star Wars are some examples.
In a sense, the speaker’s intention to immortalize his lover through his poetry validates his lover’s accusation that he is vain.His boasts about his ability to create such lasting fame for her reveals his grand opinion of his skill as a poet. Despite this vanity, however, the final lines of the poem make clear the depth of his love and his belief that the feelings they share will live on after death. Spenserian Sonnet : Spenser, through the poems in Amoretti and Epithalamion, developed a style of sonnet that incorporated the use of an interlocking rhyme scheme; this became known as the Spenserian sonnet. In such a rhyme scheme, the rhyming words at the end of each line (or end rhymes) form a pattern in which each section of the poem is linked with the following section through the repetition of the rhyming words. When discussing rhyme schemes, lines are assigned a letter in order to show the repetition of the rhyme. The Spenserian sonnet rhyme scheme is: abab bcbc cdcd ee. (All lines with an ‘‘a’’ designation rhyme with one another, all lines with a ‘‘b’’designation rhyme with one another and feature an end rhyme different from the ‘‘a’’ lines, and so on.) مهم The effect of this rhyme scheme is a structuring of the poem into three quatrains (a section of a poem consisting of four lines of verse) and a couplet (a section consisting of two lines of verse). This physical Structure relates to the poem’s meaning. The first quatrain describes the speaker’s actions on the
