You didn’t explain several important contexts of the story like the presence of Epiphany in the story and the Impressionistic imagery in the lights. If one doesn’t know of an epiphany in many parts of the story other than the end and the impressionist awareness of the narrator/boy then the story has no meaning at all. Also some context of Joyce’s writing of the “paralysis” of Dublin would’ve enhanced the explanation.

This chapter was lowkey one of the hardest to read

Thank you sir, this helped in my exam.

The first line of the last stanza - She lived unknown, and few could know .... Isn't this an example of caesura?

Pickle??

This poem is philosophical. Annabel Lee is reality, the "object" (even The Idea/Form of Good), and the poet is the "subject" (or the "soul"). This is far more platonic than it seems. Far more, if you look at it closely.

I just read this story for the first time in ages. I have looked all over and can find no one who has commented on the weirdness of the girl's conversation with the narrator. The narrator spends his mornings perving on the girl under the blind of his front parlour, implying that the Mangan house is out the front of his house, on the other side of Little Richmond St. However, when he actually talks to her, he is in the *back* drawing room where the Priest died, pressing his hands together and chanting as if in a ritual. He then somehow sees the girl, who is at a railing out the window of the back room - that is, in the wrong house - at the railing, in spite of the rain. At one stage the narrator even says "I was alone at the railing", in reference to the other boys playing elsewhere in the street; but it has a possible double meaning of course. I would read this whole section as being a delusion or hallucination or some sort of wish fulfillment on the part of the narrator. He wishes to buy something at the bazaar to impress Mangan's sister, but he has never spoken to her and the spell is broken when the lights go out.

"My name is Homo Sapiens, hominid of hominids; Look on my works, ye Mighty and despair."

I'm new to your channel and this is the second video I've watched. Brilliant content, both incredibly insightful and well paced for someone like myself who is exploring language and prose for the first time since leaving school over 20 years ago. Bravo!

Last part of my research Aeschylus according to Aristotle he expanded number of characters in theatre and allowed conflict among them . Formerly characters interacted only with chorus . Aeschylus fought in rivotal battles of Greek war with Persian . He wrote more than 80 plays , but which survived 52 plays . He won first prizes only seven of tragedies survived. His notable work oresteia play plot summary about Clytemnestra murder of her husband Agamemnon when he returns from Troy . Since he had killed their daughter to set sail for Troy , at bequest of gods . Orestes, son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon , then kills his mother in revenge as Apollo demanded. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well .happy thanksgiving and Christmas in advance. Best wishes for you your dearest ones . Please post new video regularly. I love channel content is very useful and informative.

Loved it. Thanks for the video,. can you do The Frogs by Aristophanes next?

Toooo much quick 😂 i even cant follow 😉

Thanks so much❤

funny thing, when you said how Thomas's father didn't until years after he wrote this poem, I was starting to think whether the "father" in this poem was really someone else Thomas saw as a fatherly figure instead of his actual father😂 Loved the analysis! Thanks so much!

Thanks

guys your videos are truly immaculate 🩷

Like any drug, the first dosage excites your neurons like they were never excited before. For some addictive minds like me, it's actually beautiful. And in that moment you can write your Stairways to Heaven. But quickly, that dosage doesn't do the job and you need more. And you'll keep your whole life searching for that first high, inspiration, and awesomeness of that first high.

Thank you, you really helped me study!

Thanks so much for this! I had to pick a book for an essay and we weren’t given many options. I’m a person that loves horror,fantasy, Sci-fi. I personally loved the concept of this book but a lot of it was lost in the writing style. It just never kept me hooked it was hard for me to like any of the characters. But through these videos I’m able to understand and see different sides. And find some Figurative Language. For that I thank you!

This book is so fire

Excelent!

I’m sobbing

Awesome video, great analysis!

Who reads it all the way through first and then re-reads for interpretation?

I got assigned Macbeth for my AP Literature class on Monday l and found that, when I started reading on my own, I was split screening the PDF beside google and was literally looking up the meaning of every. single. line. to get the deeper meaning. So, I decided, I wanted to read along with someone who, in real time, gave me contextualization for each line. So I went on KZbin and started up "Macbeth reading and line by line context" and I all I found where 5 to 10 minute videos that were unfortunately very lazy 'recaps' So I started surfing through each of the longer videos until I found this one, and you did EXACTLY what I was looking for! You literally give soo much needed context behind the meaning and overall contribution that each line has to the play. And, ever since taking my first English class, I remember literally sitting down and crying as I wrote the six to twelve page these analysis papers since I found it SO incredibly boring. But wow, I think this is the first time where I have to say, you are making me LOVE Macbeth just after this first Act. I went on your KZbin channel for another long-form version for the remaining 2nd through 5th Act and was so sad there's no more. I did find the live stream though and they're nowhere near this long, but I'll try them anyways. Thanks so much for your scripting and thoughts on this video. This was so well put together and genuinely you deserve so much praise for this analysis, your speaking and presentation skills are extremely good.

Your saving my English grade I love your vidoes!

Interesting 🤔 (my English teacher put this up on my teams to watch)

The Stand. Ed Harris character when he realizes the ‘flu’ is out.

Oxford comma, according to your analysis of this poem, what would you say this poem teaches about what is the name of the vibration that is required in order to live a life worth living?

I have to say that the book got really complexe after three whole readings, many thanks to you for helping me understand :) love your work

"who found a broken statue of Ozymandias in the dessert" ? Peach Melba or Bombe Alaska perhaps?

Appreciated!❤

Unbroken I’ve walked to and from I’ve walked with and without And I’ve walked with you It’s just a curiosity on a morning walk Today I am alone but I’m thinking of you And how you would be taken at the oddity Of this ornament, broken by the side of the road Laying on its side, bulb cracked, wires exposed The fence post lamp has been knocked down, undone Most trivial - unimportant And most would just walk on by But you And I think of all the questions you have And the hows and the whys And all the plans defined and formulated To unmain, to heal, to rectify You are not here, still you’re with me And I carry your wonderings And your plans, and your awe Your abandon to that simple moment I’ve walked to and from I’ve walked with and without Today I walk alone With your hand in mine And in every step, I feel your heart And in a broken lamp, your shining light How much of you Has unbroken me

Thank you for bringing me back to my literary world. I have to teach this this week. All I can think about is my own overdue publication, state testing interfering with my limited instructional time, and now Tropical Storm Milton. Since all I could remember about this poem was Rodney Dangerfield, I went to glorious KZbin. Your breakdown was magnificent! You covered Text Structure, figurative language, duality of meaning, and your maximizing of time. Thank you immensely!

A tough poem to figure out?? It's not tough to figure out at all. As far as poetry goes the meaning is crystal clear.

Thanks for your help man!

😊

ICSE and ISC people knows how devastating and hellish Shakespeare has made their life.

Shortly after my wife went through 3 craniotomies, 2 rounds of chemo, and radiation treatment that left her partially paralyzed, I came across this poem, and all the ink spilled over it, and I wrote this: PRECISELY for my wife so much depends upon the gray steel blade in accurate fingers scraping her brain tumor.

Thank you for the videos!❤It helps me a lot in my homework

I'm newer to poetry, but i feel this one right in my soul

Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them -W.Shakespeare Man I love Shakespeare’s writing

Thank YOU SO MUCH❤

I❤M

Nice

"Water could be your diving off point" lol

Needs more paintings ,though commentary is very good.

I like much the alliterative emphasis in the parts ¨and sneer of cold command and ¨King of Kings¨. Showing the cruelty of Ozymandias. A nice hint to King George 3 during that time.

Just found your channel. Getting back to enjoying some Shx now that I’m retired. Nothing wrong w being a pencil nerd, btw.😂❤

Who else is here because of Subahibi?
