Highly Self Centred Heart Of Donne Donne's
712 words
Certainly it is true that self-cent redness and
surprise are at the heart of Donne's poetry. This
is especially true of "The Donne Rising" and "The
Flea." Self- cent redness, that is, the persona
placing his desires ahead of everything else,
plays a pivotal role in molding Donne's work. This
arrogance carries through in his conceit and
hyperbole. In "The Donne Rising", Donne argues
that the lovers are the world, whilst in "The
Flea" the persona attempts to convince his lady
that the loss of virg...

Threats Lust One

No Groove in the Gunsights Lars Kullberg Always
under the thumb of his dark mistress, the speaker
struggles beneath her power. Try as he may, he
will never be able to break the tie of lust
between the two. His threats are not threatening
to her, and he knows this. His power is beneath
hers, and he knows this as well. By threatening
his lover in the 140 th sonnet, the speaker is
merely admitting to his own helplessness to which
he is forever bound. This appears to be the first
sonnet in which he ...

critical of this womans physical faults. I tried
to approach the poem from a comical view to be
able to read it and be comfortable with it. She
seems to be of African or Middle Eastern descent
by his statement of the color of her eyes and wiry
hair. The first line uses the most revealing part
of a persons body, the eyes. He claims that her
eyes do not compare to the sun, they are dark and

Moment Of Freedom Words

Much of what has been written on slavery in
Euripides has to do with the captive women taken
in the Trojan War. But even ordinary household
slaves like Medea's Nurse may betray
characteristics of the free which the free
themselves do not possess (N. T. Croally,
Euripidean Polemic, Cambridge, 1994: 102 - 3) and
in this way cast some light on the status of their
masters and what the slave / free definition means
in the play and in a wider context. In the Nurses
opening speech the slaves voice is h...

allows Viola to have a better understanding for
Orsino. Near the opening of the play, when Viola
is adopting her male identity, she creates another
self, like two masks and may decide to wear one or
the other while swinging between the two densities
