1 00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:25,940 Assalamualaikum. Good morning. Are you okay? Good. 2 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,900 Let's start. Today, we're going to continue 3 00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:42,300 analyzing the litany to explore more the implications 4 00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:47,820 and the ramifications of certain tropes. I know we 5 00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:50,900 started the analysis last time, but it was more a 6 00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,360 response than analysis. Today, we're going to dive 7 00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:00,950 deeper to discuss the other parts of the poem, and 8 00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:04,070 then, like, to discuss the form and to see its 9 00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:09,810 relationship to the meaning. Hopefully, like, we 10 00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:12,450 have five minutes to make you write a paragraph 11 00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:17,130 about, you know, the rigidity of the lady. It's a 12 00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:19,970 paragraph more just like, we'll see how it works. 13 00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:26,730 Good. Now, before we start, let's listen to a 14 00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:29,580 wonderful report. Good? Let's see. 15 00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:39,070 Despite the hotness outside of the class, the last 16 00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:41,950 lecture was amazing and cool, which made me 17 00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:45,130 prepare a new report. Maybe I will read it in 18 00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:47,590 front of my colleagues. The lecture talked about 19 00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,310 courtly love, which is prohibited in our religion 20 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:55,590 and also in our culture. But we are adults and 21 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:58,670 aware about this kind of love. All in all, the 22 00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:01,670 lecture and the lecturer were so amazing. That's 23 00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:03,270 made time run quickly. 24 00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:08,070 thinking positively of the class in this way. 25 00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:14,370 Let's have another creative report, yes? 26 00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:21,650 I think you read last time? Hey, you're lucky, 27 00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:28,070 huh? Good. Sir Philip Sidney was the writer of the 28 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:31,430 poem Litany. He wrote a very famous essay called 29 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:34,630 An Apology for Poetry. He complained his beloved 30 00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:37,310 lady because she is cocky. From the very 31 00:02:37,310 --> 00:02:41,730 beginning, he described love as a dead person and 32 00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:44,510 then he said sorry. In that lecture, the teacher 33 00:02:44,510 --> 00:02:47,770 was so nice especially when he walked among us and 34 00:02:47,770 --> 00:02:50,970 asked questions about Litany. I don't know, maybe 35 00:02:50,970 --> 00:02:53,770 this poem is strange, but it has a special taste, 36 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:58,800 the taste of honey. I liked the item when he said, 37 00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,300 love is that it seems to be too funny. The teacher 38 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,540 explained to us some difficult items and then he 39 00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:09,040 said anyone can give me a summary. Some students 40 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,380 gave the poem an attitude of irony. In short, I 41 00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:15,320 liked that poem because of having special sight of 42 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,300 beauty. Also, I admired the whole image, metaphors 43 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:19,940 and simile. 44 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,380 I was very pleased like you liked the poem, and I 45 00:03:30,380 --> 00:03:35,640 know like many of you have, like many of us. But 46 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,700 yesterday when I was expounding the poem further, 47 00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:43,840 you know, like one student thought that, you know, 48 00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:49,660 love cannot die. Yes, I said like love, can die, 49 00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:52,980 but there is a unique love which will never die. 50 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,940 Do you know which love we are talking about? Our 51 00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:01,240 love for our creator, Allah. Our love for our 52 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,600 prophet. This is eternal love, you know? Okay, we 53 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,200 developed now this emotion, this love, and it will 54 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160 remain with us forever, even after our death. 55 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,290 Good. So I think you had more time at home to read 56 00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:23,150 the poem, more and more. And I think we discussed 57 00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:28,010 the first stanza. Today, we're going to go to the 58 00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:33,210 second stanza, in which he is appealing to people. 59 00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:40,970 We, neighbors, we. So he's invoking people. Why do 60 00:04:40,970 --> 00:04:44,560 you think he's invoking people? Weak, neighbors 61 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,320 weak, yes. He's calling weak neighbors weak. It's 62 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,440 a repetition. And again, because you know, the 63 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,500 whole atmosphere is a funeral atmosphere, so this, 64 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,520 you know, this says that, continues to suggest the 65 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,400 funeral atmosphere. And why do you think he chose 66 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,260 the funeral atmosphere? Or what does this add to 67 00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:16,230 the poem? You have more seriousness? More sadness? 68 00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:21,710 Because if you remember, when he declared in the 69 00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:25,070 second line that love is dead, that was a very 70 00:05:25,070 --> 00:05:31,270 funny thing, you know? Very ridiculous, yes. Yeah, 71 00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:36,930 okay, and this is what he did when he declared 72 00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:39,890 that all love is dead. However, here, we, 73 00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:43,230 neighbors, we, he wanted like You know, to 74 00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:46,790 complete this atmosphere of the funeral, and I 75 00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:49,190 think the atmosphere of the funeral is Jahan. It 76 00:05:49,190 --> 00:05:53,870 also makes the metaphor more visual and more... 77 00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:55,810 It's complicated because love is dead and you 78 00:05:55,810 --> 00:05:58,030 imagine a funeral, so if it's, as if it's, you 79 00:05:58,030 --> 00:06:00,810 know, it's love... And I think this adds, you 80 00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:03,150 know, this adds some dignity to the whole 81 00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:03,590 situation. 82 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,100 A funeral scene, we're talking about somebody 83 00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:12,580 who's dying, and this person seems to be a high 84 00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,380 -ranking person because the monarch, the rich 85 00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:18,420 ones, you know? It's a church, the place itself 86 00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:22,780 gives some feeling of awe and pity, which makes 87 00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:26,840 the poem more attractive, I think. Okay, we 88 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:30,140 neighbors, we do not hear it said that love is 89 00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:34,380 dead. Again, he is reminding the audience of the 90 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:38,340 crisis of his ordeal. That love is dead, and the 91 00:06:38,340 --> 00:06:43,100 personification runs. Now we reach this, you know, 92 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,540 stanza which is very rich in its figurative 93 00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:55,240 language. Is death that peacock's folly? You know? 94 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,660 What is like the folly of, you know, of course 95 00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:01,300 here we have a metaphor. What's the metaphor? 96 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,760 What's the metaphor? No, I mean, the deathbed, 97 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,380 deathbed itself is the peacock's folly. You know, 98 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:20,320 like death, or love which is dead, is lying on the 99 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,460 deathbed. But what is the deathbed? It is 100 00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:27,000 arrogance. It is peacock's folly. So what is 101 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,660 peacock's folly? It is the arrogance, the conceit. 102 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,730 And do you think that conceit And arrogance is a 103 00:07:33,730 --> 00:07:40,270 bad value? Yeah. Because here, in a very indirect 104 00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:45,890 way, he's telling us the many terrible attributes 105 00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:50,990 of the lady. Like she's well-reserved, that she's 106 00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:53,930 changeable, well-reserved, that she is, you know, 107 00:07:54,470 --> 00:07:57,470 like disdainful, scornful. And now he's telling 108 00:07:57,470 --> 00:08:02,250 us, like, she's arrogant. And his deathbed 109 00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:05,630 peacocks falling. His winding sheet is what? 110 00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:10,370 Shame. You know? Like the shameful behavior. It's 111 00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:13,050 like what? A winding sheet. And here, the winding 112 00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:16,550 sheet is what? What does he mean by winding sheet? 113 00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:20,690 Like when a, you know, somebody dies, they wrap 114 00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:23,010 him, you know? And this is the winding sheet. It's 115 00:08:23,010 --> 00:08:25,670 like, you know, the coffin itself. It's the coffin 116 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:30,020 itself. So the winding sheet is what? Shame. Like, 117 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,240 she's wrapped by shame. Shame why? Shame why? 118 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,980 Because of her shameful behavior. Because of not 119 00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:45,540 considering him. Yes, she rejected him. And his 120 00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:50,380 will falls seemingly early. Like, okay, when we 121 00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:54,200 are talking about somebody who died, sometimes 122 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,720 like if, you know, some people leave a will. It 123 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,350 wasn't a will. Yeah, a will, something, take this, 124 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:06,170 take that, this is a will. So what kind of will 125 00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:13,910 did love leave? What kind of love? It was full of 126 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:18,450 lies. Again, this is another offensive, 127 00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:23,590 veterinarian-like attribute. Veterinarian-like, 128 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:29,770 it's a very offensive one. His warning, she in his 129 00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:34,970 shame, his will falls even on him. And then his 130 00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:39,630 sole executor in blame. So blame here, again, we 131 00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:42,550 have another personification. The blame is seen 132 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:48,350 like what? A human being who executes. Who 133 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:52,950 executes. So yes, the executor, the one who by 134 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:58,030 Terminates the life of a suspect, the life of a 135 00:09:58,030 --> 00:10:02,070 criminal, or execution here has double meaning. It 136 00:10:02,070 --> 00:10:05,910 could be the judge. So blame itself is a 137 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:10,010 terminator of love. When lovers or friends keep 138 00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:15,250 blaming each other, what happens? This noble 139 00:10:15,250 --> 00:10:21,730 relationship between them comes to an end. Yes, so 140 00:10:21,730 --> 00:10:27,390 blame, is being seen as a person, you know, who's 141 00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:31,310 an executor, executes, kills, you know, or give a 142 00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:35,250 terrible judgment. And then, you know, the refrain 143 00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:39,430 is repeating itself, and we'll talk about the 144 00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:42,470 refrain, the value of the refrain later. But the 145 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:46,370 refrain, it is like more supplication. You know, 146 00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:49,870 what's mean supplication? He is supplicating, he's 147 00:10:49,870 --> 00:10:54,610 praying God to protect men Against the madness of 148 00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:56,930 women and the madness of women, you know their 149 00:10:56,930 --> 00:11:00,490 pride, their shame, their arrogance. You know their 150 00:11:00,490 --> 00:11:05,310 disdain and so on. Very disturbing, isn't it? Very 151 00:11:05,310 --> 00:11:12,710 disturbing and I'm sorry. Yes, 152 00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:16,830 let dirge be sung. What is a dirge? 153 00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:28,460 Trentons, also this is taken from church 154 00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:31,500 situation, like when somebody dies, they keep 155 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:36,660 singing songs, they are called Trentons for 30 156 00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:41,020 days, in memory of the dead person. So Trentons is 157 00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:50,860 like a sad religious song. Because the dead is of 158 00:11:50,860 --> 00:11:54,670 high ranking, position, so there should be you know 159 00:11:54,670 --> 00:11:57,730 a manifestation, which or a certain manifestation 160 00:11:57,730 --> 00:12:02,550 that said well, you know the infected or the 161 00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:07,130 deceased one. Let theirs be sung and printers write 162 00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:16,750 the red for love is dead. Lit okay, um sarang, yes 163 00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:22,830 sarang his tombs ordained. Again, what figure of 164 00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:27,830 speech when we say Sir Rong? No, it's a personal 165 00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:31,110 occasion because Sir Rong is portrayed like what? 166 00:12:32,070 --> 00:12:40,370 Like a sculptor who is carving, digging on a 167 00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:45,470 stone. You see? So, Serrang his tomb ordained. I 168 00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:49,390 think Serrang, you know, it's a kind of, you know, 169 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:53,350 sarcastic. It's sarcastic. Yes, Serrang his tomb 170 00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:57,670 ordained. Now we are talking about, you know, the 171 00:12:57,670 --> 00:13:02,750 tomb itself, the grave. But what is the grave? You 172 00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:06,820 know, here, what is the grave? My mistress' marble 173 00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:11,440 heart. Wow. This is very bad, yeah. So, so the grave of 174 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,020 the dead love will be where, what, his mistress' 175 00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:19,440 marble heart. What do you think of this image, you 176 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,280 know, marble heart, yeah, yeah. It's irony in what 177 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,980 sense, because he's saying he's calling your marble 178 00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:30,220 heart, but at the same time he's attributing 179 00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:33,730 something really bad. Yeah. Yeah. But you think 180 00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:39,230 that marble has a positive? Is he praising her? Or 181 00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:43,230 is he complaining? Yes. So, what is like known 182 00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:46,830 about marble? Let's see. Let's together figure out 183 00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:49,910 the connotations of the word marble. Yes, please. 184 00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:54,170 Hard. Rigidness. Yeah. 185 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,740 So, it is elusive, you know. It seems nice, but it 186 00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:12,020 is like hard. Okay. Yes? It seems soft, 187 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,680 but inside, it's cold. It seems, yeah, it 188 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:21,980 seems like, you know, soft, but it is cold. And I 189 00:1 223 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:53,370 text. Allusion. It is different or reference to 224 00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:57,230 another text or another, you know, something 225 00:16:57,230 --> 00:17:00,230 outside the text, illusion. It's not 226 00:17:00,230 --> 00:17:02,510 intertextuality here, but rather it is allusion 227 00:17:02,510 --> 00:17:05,850 because he's like, he's not referring to a, you 228 00:17:05,850 --> 00:17:08,450 know, a text, but he's referring to a myth, 229 00:17:08,910 --> 00:17:12,750 something outside the text, to a Greek myth of 230 00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:18,020 Cupid. Like, who's a cubit? Like in Greek 231 00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:22,200 mythology, Cupid is an archer. You know what I'm 232 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,740 saying? An archer, a man carrying darts and 233 00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:30,480 shooting. So if the dart hits and this man, Cupid 234 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,240 is blind, you know, is blind. So this is the Greek 235 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:40,510 mythology. And like, His daily activities are like 236 00:17:40,510 --> 00:17:46,690 shooting and hitting people blindly. So this is 237 00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:50,810 how the idea of love is blind comes from this 238 00:17:50,810 --> 00:17:52,210 myth. 239 00:17:53,910 --> 00:17:56,930 Her eyes were once his dart. So the two meanings, 240 00:17:58,070 --> 00:18:00,590 the two possible meanings, what do you understand 241 00:18:00,590 --> 00:18:06,370 from this line? You see? Yes? 242 00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,960 Yes. Yes. 243 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,960 Yeah. Like how, you know, how could eyes like 244 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,600 kill? Yeah, but if you go back to the poem, when 245 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,620 we are talking about disdain, when we are talking 246 00:18:28,620 --> 00:18:33,320 about, so if like the eyes are full of disdain, 247 00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:38,820 disparagement, so yes, then the eyes would be like 248 00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:41,420 the murderer of love. You see what I mean? So 249 00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:45,900 there are two meanings. Either You know, her eyes 250 00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:49,980 were, you know, fascinating or he was attracted by 251 00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:53,000 her eyes and this, you know, she's beautiful. Or, 252 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,540 as we say, like, you know, her eyes were full of 253 00:18:56,540 --> 00:19:00,220 scorn and this, you know, put an end or, you know, 254 00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:06,200 terminated the life of love. Then suddenly, you 255 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,500 know, now believing this, this is a funeral 256 00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:14,070 atmosphere and suddenly, We have the poet come and 257 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:20,010 say, Alas, I'm sorry, you know, I lie. I lie. 258 00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:24,510 Don't believe me. Don't trust me. Come on. What 259 00:19:24,510 --> 00:19:27,290 are you doing, you know? Are you playing with us? 260 00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:28,890 Okay. 261 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:39,260 Yeah, to retreat, to compliment. So you think it 262 00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:42,340 is like, you know, he said what he wanted to say 263 00:19:42,340 --> 00:19:46,720 and now he wants like to excuse himself by saying, 264 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,940 no, I'm sorry, like, you know, but he did. He sent 265 00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:52,360 the message about the lady. Yes. 266 00:20:03,180 --> 00:20:08,680 Yeah, but like here as you see it is the mind the 267 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,760 reason which dominates at the end, dominates the 268 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,480 passion of anger, the passion of revenge. So man 269 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,800 might get angry, but at the end of the day, the 270 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,120 reason should control and discipline this man. 271 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,510 Again here, he is reflecting a cultural value in 272 00:20:34,510 --> 00:20:38,530 the Elizabethan age. Because, as we said, the 273 00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:44,330 Elizabethan believed in the idea of order. Man 274 00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:47,850 should be ordered. Man should not let any passion, 275 00:20:48,190 --> 00:20:52,530 there should be balance in you. And reason should 276 00:20:52,530 --> 00:20:56,520 control everything. So here, as you see, we have 277 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,800 conflict between passion and reason. And it is the 278 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,040 reason which dominates at the end, which controls 279 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,140 the whole situation and the whole behavior. So 280 00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:11,400 love is not dead. It's backing up, backing up. 281 00:21:11,940 --> 00:21:14,760 Love is not dead, but sleeps in her unmatched 282 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,600 mind. So he started now to praise. Is he placating 283 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,020 her? You know what it means to placate? hit a 284 00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:26,360 child, the child would cry, and then you placate, 285 00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:29,540 ah, don't do that, you know, this placation. Is he 286 00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:33,240 placating her? You know, telling her, like, I'm 287 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,500 sorry, I didn't mean that, no, you know? It's a 288 00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,940 possibility, but like, you see here, this is a 289 00:21:40,940 --> 00:21:45,040 reversal of the whole, you know, the whole poem. 290 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,420 And it seems like he's praising, he's praising 291 00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:54,940 her. Yes? that it's ironic at the end because you 292 00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:57,800 can you can grasp like how really how honest his 293 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,620 entire poem was and then at the end he goes and 294 00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:02,580 reverses everything so it might seem a bit 295 00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:06,960 sarcastic. Yeah so in this in this sense Jihan you 296 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,290 want like to suggest this is like only a stylistic 297 00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:17,070 shift, but it is not a thematic shift. The theme 298 00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:21,890 is the same. He's still criticizing the woman, and 299 00:22:21,890 --> 00:22:25,130 he's criticizing her by using ironic. He's 300 00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,310 sarcastic in her unmatched mind, and he means like 301 00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:31,990 she doesn't have. See what I mean? It's another 302 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:35,510 possibility. But if we look at Spencer, I think 303 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,560 Spencer, sorry, Sidney. Sidney was a noble man. 304 00:22:41,020 --> 00:22:44,640 And I think his vision and idea of the woman was 305 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,320 not like, you know, the other courtly lovers. He 306 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,500 returned, you know, her dignity. He respected her. 307 00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:56,640 And as we said, you know, because, you know, the 308 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,860 queen of that time was, you know, a woman. So he 309 00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:03,990 should behave himself. But this is what we observe 310 00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:06,790 in all his poems. Like, he is not like other 311 00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:10,850 court— he writes about courtly love, but he's not 312 00:23:10,850 --> 00:23:14,170 frustrated to the end. He keeps hope, you know? He 313 00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:19,010 keeps hope. And, like, he thinks that women is not 314 00:23:19,010 --> 00:23:23,670 that, like, that bad. Women, like, has dignity, 315 00:23:23,890 --> 00:23:27,370 you know, and so on. But I don't know. You are 316 00:23:27,370 --> 00:23:30,330 still cynical. You don't believe him. Are you 317 00:23:30,330 --> 00:23:33,800 cynical? I mean, like, you don't trust the poet. 318 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Yeah, look at him. And like, it's not sorry. Like 319 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,460 he is saying love is not dead, but asleep. in her 320 00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:50,000 unmatched mind and I think you know whether this 321 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,820 is irony but if we are looking about this yeah it 322 00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:58,420 is good you know when people use their mind you 323 00:23:58,420 --> 00:24:01,400 know so she's using her unmatched mind excellent 324 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,680 she's brilliant where she his counsel keep you 325 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,690 know till due dessert till the right person comes. 326 00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:13,870 And then she would go ahead. So she's not a lady 327 00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:18,130 who's swayed by her passion, by her emotions. But 328 00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:22,270 she's a lady who employs her mind to control her 329 00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:26,410 behavior. And he's a poet also who uses his mind 330 00:24:26,410 --> 00:24:30,330 to control his behavior. And perhaps we admire him 331 00:24:30,330 --> 00:24:35,230 for this. Right, as you see, like, the poem is, 332 00:24:35,470 --> 00:24:40,730 you know, funny, lovely, you know. It made us sad 333 00:24:40,730 --> 00:24:45,730 and we laughed, you know. It made us like, you 334 00:24:45,730 --> 00:24:50,270 know, or attracted us by its concrete 335 00:24:50,270 --> 00:24:54,690 personifications, by metaphors, you know, and even 336 00:24:54,690 --> 00:24:59,660 by music. I don't know like it seems like Amal is 337 00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:02,300 having something to say about music rhyme and 338 00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:08,700 rhythm okay so Amal is always like helping us look 339 00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:13,700 here how she filled this with you know At first, 340 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,480 the poem consists of four stanzas, ten lines each. 341 00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:21,520 And at the end of each stanza, there's a four-line 342 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,040 refrain or a choral that is some sort of musical, 343 00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:29,380 you know, fancy, frenzy, thus, and us. As for the 344 00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:33,940 rhyme scheme, it is complicated to some extent and 345 00:25:33,940 --> 00:25:37,280 a bit tricky. Yeah, excuse me. I noticed that, 346 00:25:37,420 --> 00:25:40,540 like, the rhyme, sometimes it is masculine, 347 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,320 sometimes it's feminine. And even I rhyme there is 348 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,020 these spreads that Infected and rejected so you 349 00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:50,880 want the rhyme is not consistent sometimes it is 350 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,600 like feminine like you know Rejected like this 351 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,320 game, but it is game is like masculine Thus is 352 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,040 masculine us is masculine. So it is one syllable. 353 00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:08,840 So we are dealing with you know A rhyme which is 354 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,500 not like very systematic, go ahead. Which goes of 355 00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:14,040 course with the atmosphere of the poem and his 356 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,220 state of mind. The rhyme goes A, A, B, C, B, C, D, 357 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:24,760 D, and E, E. As for the rhythm, the rhythm was 358 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,600 also complicated. It is I am, it goes unstressed, 359 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,920 stressed, unstressed, stressed. But as for the 360 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280 bass meter, whether to decide whether it's a 361 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,720 diameter or a pentameter, Because of the line 362 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,120 length, it was also hard to decide. So the numbers 363 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,060 here I have enlisted are the numbers of the 364 00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,840 overall syllables, whether stressed or unstressed. 365 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,220 But when you want to decide what kind of base 366 00:26:49,220 --> 00:26:52,580 meter, monomer, diameter, you have to only count 367 00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:55,500 the stressed syllables. So we have here- So I 368 00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,200 think in the first line we have ten syllables? 369 00:26:57,460 --> 00:27:01,180 Yes. You know? And this is I am in. Pentameter 370 00:27:01,180 --> 00:27:04,520 because it goes five it goes bring out your guns 371 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,820 the morning should be spread for love is dead You 372 00:27:07,820 --> 00:27:11,460 know, it's very systematic iambic pentameter Okay, 373 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:15,620 and then you have the diameter You know, which is 374 00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:18,480 it consists of two feet. It means to stress 375 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,060 syllables unstressed stressed unstressed 376 00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:24,050 unstressed And then we have triameter I think. I 377 00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:26,550 was going to ask them actually that I want someone 378 00:27:26,550 --> 00:27:30,830 of you to come and to divide the line and to 379 00:27:30,830 --> 00:27:32,930 choose with and to decide whether it's a triameter 380 00:27:32,930 --> 00:27:35,630 or any kind of them who wants to come and give it 381 00:27:35,630 --> 00:27:41,170 a shot. Yes. Come on. It's not hard. Yeah, all of 382 00:27:41,170 --> 00:27:45,110 them are infected with plague or disease they were 383 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:48,730 stopped or rejected. I think all of them are 384 00:27:48,730 --> 00:27:53,610 having Yeah, the same rhythm. Would you like to 385 00:27:53,610 --> 00:27:56,750 come and do this, please? Yeah, yeah. Try it out. 386 00:27:56,810 --> 00:27:59,810 It is easy. It doesn't rise. 387 00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:07,730 Allah. Allah. Allah. 388 00:28:20,830 --> 00:28:30,370 because they never color okay so 389 00:28:30,370 --> 00:28:36,430 yeah you can just say Allah is dead and second 390 00:28:36,430 --> 00:28:44,090 dead so like six syllables Allah Allah look we 391 00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:48,090 don't say all Allah Allah 392 00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:55,420 unstressed stressed unstressed stressed is that is 393 00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:58,740 that unstressed test you know stressed and then 394 00:28:58,740 --> 00:29:02,740 infected you know infected by two syllables you 395 00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:06,140 know you're 396 00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:06,360 right you're right 397 00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:17,890 Okay. 398 00:29:20,390 --> 00:29:27,890 No, like here, excuse me, you know, all done. And 399 00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:31,590 then infected. 400 00:29:32,390 --> 00:29:35,350 Infected, you know. Infected, unstressed, 401 00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:40,010 stressed, you know. So, this is like five meters. 402 00:29:40,150 --> 00:29:44,230 Six feet. Now. Yes, six feet. But the feet is only 403 00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:51,990 the chest, so they're free. Okay. Okay. So it is 404 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:55,570 trimeter. So like here in the poem, we have 405 00:29:55,570 --> 00:30:00,130 pentameter, we have trimeter, we have diameter. I 406 00:30:00,130 --> 00:30:03,250 don't know why. Why do you think, you know, like 407 00:30:0 445 00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:42,490 Write a paragraph commenting on, like, the marble 446 00:32:42,490 --> 00:32:47,110 heart issue, you see? I lie, you know, what is 447 00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:52,390 that? It is here. Let the, you know, surround his 448 00:32:52,390 --> 00:32:54,630 tomb to ordain my merciless marble heart which 449 00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:57,670 epitaph contained. Her eyes were, you know, his 450 00:32:57,670 --> 00:33:01,310 dart. I need you to comment on this. You know, you 451 00:33:01,310 --> 00:33:04,890 can do it in like groups of two or three, so you 452 00:33:04,890 --> 00:33:08,050 have 10 minutes for this exercise. Of course, this 453 00:33:08,050 --> 00:33:11,410 is an idea which shows, you know, the angle of 454 00:33:11,410 --> 00:33:15,180 rigidity. Like how she's rigid, you know? Talk 455 00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:17,540 about this and try to link it with the other 456 00:33:17,540 --> 00:33:20,620 themes, with the overall theme of the poet, because 457 00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:24,860 we are talking about courtly love or unrequited 458 00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:29,780 love. And here, as you see, the poet is 459 00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:34,820 complaining. Isn't he? Is he complaining? Again, 460 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,780 there is a possibility that he was acclaiming. So 461 00:33:38,780 --> 00:33:41,440 you can talk about two possibilities, you can talk 462 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,020 about one possibility, but okay, go ahead, And I 463 00:33:45,020 --> 00:33:47,980 want you to write like what we did in Sir Thomas 464 00:33:47,980 --> 00:33:50,860 Wyatt. I need a nice paragraph, okay? Go ahead. 465 00:33:56,980 --> 00:34:00,020 Just write it, huh? Write it. Okay, 466 00:34:04,260 --> 00:34:08,620 I think now you're done. It's only a small 467 00:34:08,620 --> 00:34:13,310 paragraph. So let's see those who succeeded in 468 00:34:13,310 --> 00:34:17,030 writing a small paragraph. Yes, Ola, I think. You 469 00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:21,990 come here and read what you have, okay? Read. It's 470 00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:24,450 a paragraph, it's a part of the whole commentary, 471 00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:27,830 but we are concentrating on the image of the 472 00:34:27,830 --> 00:34:30,770 marble heart and, you know, the gold standard. 473 00:34:30,930 --> 00:34:33,290 Yes, what do you want to say? Like since everybody 474 00:34:33,290 --> 00:34:35,690 is deceived by the delicacy of the females 475 00:34:35,690 --> 00:34:37,910 apparent claiming that passion dominates their 476 00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:40,830 decisions. Could you like slow down and raise your 477 00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:43,190 voice a little bit? Since everybody is deceived by 478 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:46,310 the delicacy of the females apparent claiming that 479 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:49,510 passion dominates their decisions and behaviors. 480 00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:52,210 So it's the time for everyone to know that women 481 00:34:52,210 --> 00:34:56,030 are rigid and hard as much as they seem delicate. 482 00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:58,460 This is what the poet thinks, you know? Yeah. 483 00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:02,820 Yeah. So there is elusive, you know. Apparent or 484 00:35:02,820 --> 00:35:05,620 elusive like appearance. Appearance about her. 485 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:10,240 Also, how the poet complained from the killing eyes 486 00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:13,540 since she cannot do anything to make them less 487 00:35:13,540 --> 00:35:15,960 attractive or even less arrogant or disdainful. 488 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,280 Okay, good. Thank you. But it's still like you 489 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,700 didn't talk about the mythical myth itself. Good. 490 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,150 Let's see another paragraph. Yes, Jinan? 491 00:35:33,950 --> 00:35:37,130 Okay, good. Because I didn't have time. Okay, Sir 492 00:35:37,130 --> 00:35:39,670 Philip Sidney's litany sure does portray his 493 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:41,990 love in the most rigid fashion a lady can be. 494 00:35:43,820 --> 00:35:45,960 Though he tempered his wrath with some reason 495 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,760 towards the end, his third stanza pictures the 496 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,520 grape of his love lying in his mistress' marble 497 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,500 heart, i.e., stone-tough heart. The poet seems 498 00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,940 quite offended for being rejected, which is 499 00:35:56,940 --> 00:35:59,620 suggested by his wrath and the courtly love theme 500 00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:02,880 that is dominating his discourse. Wow, it's a 501 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,520 critique. Yes, please. Have we done all of this in 502 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,690 ten minutes? It's good, you know. You see here, as 503 00:36:11,690 --> 00:36:16,310 we see, we reach this point of connecting the 504 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:18,190 specialized language with the public language. 505 00:36:18,250 --> 00:36:22,190 Yes. The poet tried to gain the reader's sympathy. 506 00:36:22,190 --> 00:36:25,110 Could you raise? The poet tries to gain the 507 00:36:25,110 --> 00:36:27,890 reader's sympathy. He describes his beloved's 508 00:36:27,890 --> 00:36:31,890 heart as marble in its hardness and crudely. He 509 00:36:31,890 --> 00:36:36,810 continued that her eyes killed him and his love. 510 00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:40,410 He tried to convey a bad picture about all women 511 00:36:40,410 --> 00:36:43,130 to make the readers share him in his suffering. So 512 00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:46,150 I think you are more general. You are very general 513 00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:48,240 because we need here like when you're talking 514 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:51,400 about her eyes were like a dart, you have to talk 515 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,120 about like how deadly and fatal, you know, like 516 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,580 her eyes were to that to love itself. So you 517 00:37:00,580 --> 00:37:02,800 escaped from that and you started to talk about 518 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,240 general things. Try to be more specific. Good. 519 00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:07,300 Yes. 520 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,300 The last one before we leave. Next time we're 521 00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:18,360 doing Spencer. I wrote her name upon this thread, 522 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,460 which is like a very important Elizabethan theme. 523 00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:25,600 The poet is starting the stanza with a calling of 524 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,000 the breeze to say his terms because of the death 525 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,340 of his lover, who describes her as a marvel. I 526 00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:36,320 think he meant the dark side in the marvel, that 527 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,620 she is tough and doesn't complain with others, 528 00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:41,480 because when a marvel comes close to another one, 529 00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:44,000 it pushes him away. That's exactly what the lover 530 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,470 did to the poet. The other metaphor is in the 531 00:37:47,470 --> 00:37:49,970 heart. He symbolizes her to the deal that can't be 532 00:37:49,970 --> 00:37:54,570 easily touched. At the end, the poem, the poet... 533 00:37:54,570 --> 00:37:58,160 So I think when he portrays her... hard like a 534 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,520 marble stone like it's very offensive you know so 535 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,940 there is no chance even, you know, for any passion 536 00:38:06,940 --> 00:38:11,960 to survive. Yes, good. Yes, at the end, he mentioned 537 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,700 her eyes as the dart who makes him fall in love 538 00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,180 and at the same time those are the one who killed 539 00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:19,980 him and rejected him. Good. Thank you very much. 540 00:38:19,980 --> 00:38:25,310 Thank you for listening, and next time, we hope you 541 00:38:25,310 --> 00:38:29,270 come with a new poem and a new poet, you know. But 542 00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:33,450 remember, try to jot down all, I mean, the points 543 00:38:33,450 --> 00:38:37,910 we discussed. You can look at the class again, and 544 00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:39,790 hopefully you'll be okay. Thank you.
