Ambiguity In To Autumn And La Belle Dame Sanns Merci

‘Be Music, Night’ by Kenneth Patchen is an intriguing piece of literary art. A picture is painted of human interaction with Earth immediately. The manner in which humans fall into her beauty and vastness is apparent in even the first lines of Patchen’s poem, but why is this important?

Edmond Rostand’s comedic play Cyrano de Bergerac recounts the tragic heartbreak of an unsightly French poet as he aids his handsome but dull cohort Christian in capturing the heart of the beautiful Roxane. Cyrano de Bergerac, a colossal-nosed man with a masterful talent for wielding both words and sword, battles self-doubt and insecurity as he contends with his own feelings of love for Roxane. Throughout the play, Rostand reveals a stark polarity between Cyrano and Christian, illuminating the gaping disparity between the characters’ appearance and intellect while portraying the men as foils for each other.

The poem starts out with a highwayman (this is a thief who use to hold people’s carriages they usually come on horseback) visiting his girlfriend Bess who is the daughter of an innkeeper. He 's on the move (meaning he will be back the next day after he has robbed some people) so he only has time for one kiss. But in the shadows Tim the ostler who loves Bess listens and tells the red coats.

Neil King’s definition of a comedy, “a work which is primarily designed to amuse and entertain, and where, despite alarms along the way, all’s well that ends well for the characters” (King 55) is undoubtedly affirmed by Shakespeare’s use of comedic features such as dramatic irony. Despite the creation of exuberant comedy within the play, principal sub-plots in ‘Twelfth Night’ such as the gulling and confinement of Malvolio, prove that when looked at in more depth, to some extent, the play’s comedy cloaks themes of cruelty and suffering.

Open your mind and come into the world of the woods, a forest of wonders with worlds collided. Experience the universe of Stephen Sondheim at its best in Into the Woods, where princes and princesses, wolf and giants brought together by the mighty witch of the dark wood. The story began with characters seeking wishes of their hearts, but little did they know of their intertwined destiny, their wishes brought them together, but where karma takes hold, consequence ensues. In Into the Woods, through the masterful use of plot, music, and alienation Sondheim made me reflect on the indulgence of the modern world, where everything at our finger tips and the loss of meaningful fulfillment.

According to Beth, besides its important role in the creative process, negative capability also had for both Keats and Austen a moral dimension, in that it allows individuals to overcome selfishness and experience compassion for others.Another name for this aspect of negative capability is the sympathetic imagination and the most influential proponents of this concept was Adam Smith. As James Engell notes, Smith clearly proposes that "sympathy is the basis of all moral thought and action, and the sole agency by which this sympathetic feeling operates is the imagination"(88). Engell also claims that Smith 's theory of moral sentiments "was hugely influential" and names William Hazlitt and Percy Bysshe Shelley Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Keats

In the Tropic of Orange, Karen Tei Yamashita mixes the real with elements of allegory, consciously embodying elements of what is now considered the magical realism genre. Set in a world where one would not expect magic to occur; Yamashita demonstrates the consequences of globalization through fusing it with Latin-American magical Realism. While not purely mimetic of the actual world, the fictitious world created by Yamashita is also not entirely rooted in fantasy. Through the analysis of Pavel and Gallagher one can see that elements of the unreal in fiction can help provide foundations of political and moral beliefs. Yamashita explores different truths through using several voices and plays around with the notions of time and space, thus incorporating verisimilitude into fiction. By creating a complex reality in which an orange can help carry an entire culture to another part of

The “cloud”—amorphous and obstructing—cuts into the scene, as well as the poem, with a sudden violence, in order to block the image of “Love’s moon”. The cloud itself cannot have definite dimensions, as it exists to only hide the moon, casting the speaker of the poem, his love and the cloud itself in a continuous darkness. It is in this darkness that the speaker of the poem finds his own perception and experiences clouded, indicating his blind submission to erotic love in lieu of a more illuminating, comprehensive “Love”.

Critics and readers esteem the imagery of Ode on a Grecian Urn, which focuses on the symbolism and identification of the urn itself, and represents illustrated

Ezra Weston Loomis Pound was an emigrant American poet and critic who was a key figure of the early modernist movement.
