ENGL 316 Lecture : Milton 22
Document Summary
When you read a story within a story, what effect does it have on you. It"s mediated: you"re getting an either further removed version. It may have a point with respect to the larger frame. It"s less reliable the more people you use (telephone) It"s really hard to tell when raphael is using metaphor and when he"s speaking literally. The cannon-tossing is kind of goofy. the angels then move mountains. In book 6, he does use actualy similies, possibly because there"s no frame right at the start of the book, it kind of takes place. Humans are more discursive, angels are more intuitive.
