763 Words4 Pages

The translation between the Study Bible and Falk’s point of view were very distinct from one another. There lies a deeper meaning to what the poetry really is. There are a lot of symbolic meaning from both the Study Bible and from Falk’s translation. The two translation each provided the reader with knowledge to what the poem really means. From Falk’s point of view, the primary level of meaning is about erotic love between two young lovers. Her translation gives the readers the knowledge to look at the poetry in a erotic way. There are a lot of symbols that one can focus on this poetry. One way of looking at the poem from Falk’s translation is how unusual the culture is. The culture of the story is strange to look at for some readers. In class, the way the culture was recognized was that it was an honor and shame culture. Meaning, …show more content…

He mentions this several times in the poetry. In Falk #17, the young man refers to his lover as “my sister, my bride.” I found that a bit weird because if he was really in love with her why would he call her his sister? We had a class discussion about how this sibling metaphor can refer to going out freely in public with his lover, that is why he refers to her as his sister. If they were disguising themselves as siblings they would have a more openly and freely time with each other in public. It would be a lot safer for the two to go out in public with each other if he referred to her that way. At times, reading some of the poems was a bit odd and strange for me because there were some weird sensual stuff that they referred to. There were a lot of powerful lines that were said in this poetry however the one thing that resonated with me in the poem was in Falk (#28 // Song 8:6), it states that “For love is strong as death.” I found this line to be so meaningful and deep because it captures how far is someone willing to love for it be as strong as

More imagery is introduced along with the flashback of Meema's past life with her father and her sisters. This further contributes to the overall tone and theme of reminiscing because it brings back a time where her father was playing an important role in her quilt by playing the piano. By attributing the feeling of happiness and the giggling from the “beautiful” sisters, Waniek conveys how the speaker’s Meema is positively impacted by the quilt but also inversely affected by a significant missing piece in her family, the mother of the speaker. . Another scenario where the flashbacks are displayed was when the poem mentioned the dreams of Meema and how it affected her reality of her economic status in the farm.

In both the passage and the scene, “The Mount of Monte Cristo” and “Blessings”, send messages out to their readers. The way the authors developed the messages, or themes, have similarities, but also some differences in each text. In “The Mount of Monte Cristo”, a man is imprisoned for over four years and has recently stopped eating the prison food. I think the theme of this passage is to always have hope, even in the worse situations.

In the time of Valentine’s there are plenty of love letters being written and given. At first glance there isn’t a “given” receiver to this poem. He, Edgar Allan Poe, is certainly thinking of someone dear as pointed out in the first line “For her this rhymed is penned”, but he never mentions who “her” is. Further into the poem, the second couplet mentions that a name, the name of who this poem is meant for, is hidden within the lines, the words, of the poem. “Shall find her own sweet name, that, nestling lies Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.”

When Margery asks why she is unhappy, Sirith explains that she had a daughter who was married to a good husband, but rejected the advances of a clerk during the husband's absence, whereupon the clerk magically changed her daughter into a female dog, and here she is, still crying for not having granted the clerk his will. Margery sees the similarity to her own case, becomes frightened at the possible canine consequences, and asks Sirith to bring Wilekin to her. He arrives, and Margery agrees to be his lover. The main interest of this fabliau - and the way it differs most from the French fabliaux - is in its use of direct speech and the way in which that direct speech is used for purposes of characterization. Of the 450 lines in the poem 397 are direct speech, and the personalities and the attitudes of the three characters are gradually revealed through that direct speech, so that what were stock characters in the analogues - the amorous clerk, the young wife, and the old woman - become in this poem developed characters, people who have a three-dimensional quality to them.

The poem begins with the speaker looking at a photograph of herself on a beach where the “sun cuts the rippling Gulf in flashes with each tidal rush” (Trethewey l. 5-7). The beach is an area where two separate elements meet, earth and water, which can represent the separation of the different races that is described during the time that her grandmother was alive and it can also represent the two races that are able to live in harmony in the present day. The clothing that the two women wear not only represent how people dressed during the different time periods, but in both the photographs of the speaker and her grandmother, they are seen standing in a superman-like pose with their hands on “flowered hips” (Trethewey l. 3,16). The flowers on the “bright bikini” (Trethewey l. 4) are used to represent the death of segregation, similar to how one would put flowers on a loved one’s grave, and on the “cotton meal sack dress” (Trethewey l. 17) it is used to symbolize love and peace in a troubled society.

She declares his name in expressing of her love. So said, his erewhile timid lips grew bold, And poesied with hers in dewy rhyme: Great bliss was with them, and great happiness (I, 69-71) There is both the weakness and the greatness of such type of love, originating in an idea of selfhood that is too simple to be sustained. Lorenzo is as good as dead for the same reason that the lovers are as good as separated from the moment that the capitalist brothers appear in the poem.

Ever since the creation of written language, humanity has been connected on profound levels with each other. However, the gap in between separate languages has also hampered this connection in the lost experiences of translations. Although the nature of language itself is universal, the differences between two languages often obstructs the reader 's ability to fully comprehend a literature piece. The translator 's struggle to balance between poetic purposes and the intended meaning of the author often mars the reader 's ability to fully comprehend translated texts. Similairly, in Victor Hugo 's historical novel Les Misérables, much of Hugo 's brilliant contemplations of the French language is often lost in English translations.

Society’s superficial viewing of women is also reflected in the poem’s wring, as it may seem that this poem is strictly concerned with a prostitute, but in fact it describes all females. The male representative in the poem, Georges, then asserts his superiority, despite their similar conditions of being poor. Although he is sexually attracted to her as he “stiffens for [her] warmth”, suggesting an erection, he is unwilling to accept her as a human being as he deems her question “Why do you do this?”
