Safely in the Donne mode of poetry, we have a great deal of conceits appearing: death, kings, math-related objects, all major metaphors clarifying his Songs and their critical, philosophical perspective of love and life. Plus there are the sound elements and structural machinations via stanzas, rhyme scheme, and forced rhyme. Donne and his personas are definitely unpredictable, especially in comparison to our former Petrarch.
In second hour, we reviewed vocab and made it through "The Valediction" analysis of the Songs. We will resume there and follow up with The Sonnets next class.
In sixth hour, we finished our round of vocab experts, considered the "easy going" behavior and suggestions via "The Flea," and started our Song analysis, which will finish next class.
