Sonnet Notes/ Poetry

Sonnet is 14 lines

Petrarchan v Shakespearean

Petrarch- classic way before Shakespeare 

Octect then sestect 

Change in tone is shift, what was it before?

Three trains then couplet 

Shift in eighth(Petrarch) or last two lines(Shakespeare)

Shakespeare: Last two lines she is complimented not insulted 

He's making fun of love poems, he was a realist

Meaning- title, tone shifts, 

Tone- fiction essay, poetry (irony...), attitude, 

style- syntax and diction can be influenced by literary period, figurative language 

Deeper, say tone and stuff

Academic, high level diction

Look for key words 

Hope- Emily Dickinson 

Hope is always there, find and follow it. Metaphors- bird is hope. Talks about thee best parts about birds

Title- direct, subject

Connotations-

Diction- positive words, straightforward, intended to move  

Attitude- optimistic

Tone-

Shift- "Yet" or nevertheless, but... Hope doesn't ask from others. Relationship between her and hope. Not abstract idea. Changes theme focus

Theme-

In class notes

Fleance fleas and is away

Malcolm is the rightful heir

Shakespeare is divided- appeals to king and other members of audience

Macbeth always adding more people

Fair is foul and foul... Every character. Murder is foul nobody knows 

Lady Mac seems to already want 

(Pick right tool)

Look at open questions 

Open and prose- deeper meaning 

Elements of stories important to me

How author uses techniques 

Hit elements of prompt, prewrite, argument 

Satire- comedic intent to think of serious; Chaucer, displacement 

Waiting for Godot, grapes of wrath, 

Food and sleep

Act 4 Scene 3; 1-3 questions

4-3

1. Macduff's family has been killed. 

2. Malcolm doesn't want to go home because he's afraid of judgement since he ran away. Malcolm is suspicious of Macduff bc Macduff has his own personal agenda. He might be secretly working for Macbeth since he left his family. Malcolm tests Macduff's loyalty to him and he passes. When Macduff starts to leave Malcolm takes back the lies he's told and trusts Macduff now- they're now allies. 

3. Malcolm says he's a bad king but Macduff says Macbeth is a way worse king and that he needs to return to restore peace and justice. Avarice bothers Macduff more in a king, it sticks deeper with kings in the terms of greed and lust. 

Act 2

Macduff and Lennox come after the deed. He killed sleep. Lady Macbeth coaching him. His conscience. Knocking of the porter. Character and theme. Been there done that seen all. Going through all classes of Chaucers tales. Minded gates of hell.
