solved week 8:Find at least three examples of metaphor (or simile)
week 8:Find at least three examples of metaphor (or simile) in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” First analyze your metaphors into tenor and vehicle, then connect these examples to other literary concepts (synecdoche, allusion, irony), and interpret these comparisons by determining what is carried over from the vehicle to the tenor. Since Prufrock himself is usually the tenor, the comparisons reveal something about his character. Don’t forget that Prufrock is a round character. What kind of a person is he? What are his conflicts and how are they dramatized? week 9:”A Valediction Forbidding Mourning” and “A Valediction: Of Weeping” present two different scenarios for saying farewell. Compare and contrast the relationships represented in the two poems? How are they similar? How are they different? How are these opposing attitudes expressed through metaphor? Identify and present at least two comparisons (metaphor or simile) from each poem. Analyze into tenor and vehicle. Donne is known for the complexity of his metaphors and similes spend enough time to be able to grasp and explain that complexity. What are the extended metaphors in the two poems?week 10: Iago’s first speech (Act 1, scene 1, lines 8-65) is unusual in its candor. What does Iago reveal about his character and motivation? Also, in the first act, Othello is not yet a round character; in other words, he is not in conflict with himself. How is this aspect of Othello’s character revealed? In Othello’s speech in act I, scene 3, lines 129-170, what is revealed about his character and his relationship to Desdemona? Find two metaphorical lines that can be analyzed into tenor and vehicle. Find two lines with unfamiliar words and then look them up. How did finding out the meaning of the word help you understand the meaning of the line?
