Yes, I did inadvertently reverse Eve and Mary. I need to find time to redo the video.
In my soft scifi earth fan-fic, is it okay to just jump into terminology which is my intended fulcrum of story telling?
Thank you
you've got Eve and Mary flipped
One Lit Teacher against the world, thanks for information! :)
It does, in fact, sound like I stated it backwards. Good catch! Thanks
Isn't Mary usually viewed as pure and Eve as the temptress? Is your explanation the wrong way around? x

Sorry. This is not the right format for that. Good luck!
explain the unusual presentation of the woman that he loves?
Shakespeare is directly rebuffing the standard definition of beauty at the time, which was reflected in Petrarchan love poetry. The ideal according to those poems was blond hair (like silk), blue eyes (that twinkle like celestial bodies), ivory skin (like alabaster), a voice like a songbird, etc. His lady is the opposite of all those qualities, yet she is beautiful and down to earth, and he loves her for that.
Nice one
Can you please do a analysis on Shakespeare's sonnet 141 ???
You're amazing at explaining!

Pls I want a paraphrase and diction for this poem ..
Really appreciate this 🙏
Thank you so much!!
Mam, I tried too much to identify which word and which part of the word has stressed and which has unstressd syllables . Always or most of the time I guess wrong. Kindly make video on how to identify which word or a part of word has stressed and unstressd syllables.
I do have a video called “How To Determine Meter In Poetry.” Look for it on my KZread Channel. And be sure to subscribe. 😁
Unstressed/stressed, unstressed/stressed, unstressed/stress, unstressed/stressed, unstressed/stressed. THAT IS THE ORDER! What's there to work out? There's nothing to work out. Just stress every second syllable.

Oh, my! This is quite an extensive list. But I do appreciate your enthusiasm. I have already covered the Shakespeare sonnets you mentioned. I can certainly add some of the others as well. I do hope you will subscribe and get others to subscribe as well. More subscribers will certainly give me motivation to keep making videos. Thanks for the feedback.
@@onelitteacher3575 Could you please tell me how the structure of the poem influences the content of the poem?
Shakespeare’s sonnets are English sonnets, written in a highly prescribed format, which reflects the love of artifice amongst the poets of this time. Structural variations are limited to subtle elements, such as where the volta occurs and how the poet employs punctuation. For information about the relationship between structure and meaning in sonnets, please see my video about sonnet background.

I love the way you've marked up the poem and even created a key to understand where the repetition, alliteration and volta occur (among other things)!
I’m glad you find it useful. I hope to make a few more videos in January. I hope you will subscribe and tell your friends, students, etc.
Marvelous .. explanation 🙏🙏🙏 Ma'am

Hi What and where is the volta(turn) in this sonnet?
The volta occurs at line 13 and is signaled by the word "But." This is where the tone shifts as the speaker focuses less on the grief of loss as he begins to remember the happy times he spent with his lost love/friend. This completes the cycle of grief until it begins afresh again at a later time.
Can you give me a short idea to this sonnet ??
If you can give me a specific question, I will do my best to answer it.
What is the aesthetic part of this poem?
Interesting question! In general I find the sonnet form aesthetically pleasing because it is so carefully and beautifully crafted. While Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30 does not contain much visual imagery, the way Shakespeare simulates the grief cycle and makes readers feel powerful emotions along with him is aesthetically pleasing. The most beautiful aspect of the poem in terms its imagery is the powerful way Shakespeare creates sound imagery and connects that imagery so closely with emotions. And, while the poem mainly evokes painful emotions, the fact that it resolves on a positive and comforting note, is also pleasing.
You are awesome Jennifer!!
