The Prose & The Psychoanalysis

2 & 4: Taking a slight break from poetry, we completed another MC passage, the second one, that was in prose style with several questions ranging from tone to paradox. Afterwards, we started our look at psychoanalysis and its ideas regarding the unconscious and repression. We will be back to familial issues tomorrow and then it is time for Lear!

7: We analyzed and galloped to sonnets 116 and 130. Both sonnets gave several opportunities to participate in poetry and rhythmic knowledge. Kudos to Danny for reading your latest box prompt for Sonnet 138 in fluent iambic pentameter: In regards to Sonnet 138, how does Shakespeare use poetic elements to reflect the overall theme of the poem?And, if you don't have the handout, you can create boxes of your own on notebook paper because this is due tomorrow! Also for tomorrow, do research on birth order and dream symbolism for our foray into psychoanalysis. As noted in class, we will be focusing solely on psychoanalysis tomorrow, which means we will return back to MC passages after break.
