EN 3535 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Financial Transaction, Blank Verse
Document Summary
Eclogues -> advice on how to manage emotions that cannot be managed. Forest becomes a place of redemption -> washes away sins through forgiveness and love. Act 5 as you like it (redemption turns around) Because rosalind takes on a disguise, the wrong people fall in love with the wrong people. The only way this can be done is by rosalind exposing herself as a woman; people"s problems will go away. Decorum -> sense of appropriateness (e. g. if you have servants, villains, their language is of the lowest) Speech/language tells a lot about who we are -> readability. Orlando -> chooses poetry to express himself (poetry is the language of love) Phoebe is a miniature rosalind (act 3 s 5) If -> telling a lie without telling a lie (line 2665) Rosalind"s final speech -> 2780 (is the play saying that rosalind giving up her power is a good thing or a bad thing?)
