00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:25,940
Assalamualaikum. Good morning. Are you okay? Good.

2
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,900
Let's start. Today, we're going to continue

3
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:42,300
analyzing the litany to explore more the implications 

4
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:47,820
and the ramifications of certain tropes. I know we 

5
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:50,900
started the analysis last time, but it was more a 

6
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,360
response than analysis. Today, we're going to dive 

7
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:00,950
deeper to discuss the other parts of the poem, and 

8
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:04,070
then, like, to discuss the form and to see its 

9
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:09,810
relationship to the meaning. Hopefully, like, we

10
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:12,450
have five minutes to make you write a paragraph 

11
00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:17,130
about, you know, the rigidity of the lady. It's a 

12
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:19,970
paragraph more just like, we'll see how it works.

13
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:26,730
Good. Now, before we start, let's listen to a 

14
00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:29,580
wonderful report. Good? Let's see.

15
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:39,070
Despite the hotness outside of the class, the last 

16
00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:41,950
lecture was amazing and cool, which made me 

17
00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:45,130
prepare a new report. Maybe I will read it in 

18
00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:47,590
front of my colleagues. The lecture talked about 

19
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,310
courtly love, which is prohibited in our religion

20
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:55,590
and also in our culture. But we are adults and

21
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:58,670
aware about this kind of love. All in all, the 

22
00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:01,670
lecture and the lecturer were so amazing. That's

23
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:03,270
made time run quickly. 

24
00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:08,070
thinking positively of the class in this way.

25
00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:14,370
Let's have another creative report, yes?

26
00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:21,650
I think you read last time? Hey, you're lucky, 

27
00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:28,070
huh? Good. Sir Philip Sidney was the writer of the

28
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:31,430
poem Litany. He wrote a very famous essay called

29
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:34,630
An Apology for Poetry. He complained his beloved

30
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:37,310
lady because she is cocky. From the very

31
00:02:37,310 --> 00:02:41,730
beginning, he described love as a dead person and 

32
00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:44,510
then he said sorry. In that lecture, the teacher 

33
00:02:44,510 --> 00:02:47,770
was so nice especially when he walked among us and 

34
00:02:47,770 --> 00:02:50,970
asked questions about Litany. I don't know, maybe

35
00:02:50,970 --> 00:02:53,770
this poem is strange, but it has a special taste,

36
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:58,800
the taste of honey. I liked the item when he said, 

37
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,300
love is that it seems to be too funny. The teacher 

38
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,540
explained to us some difficult items and then he

39
00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:09,040
said anyone can give me a summary. Some students 

40
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,380
gave the poem an attitude of irony. In short, I 

41
00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:15,320
liked that poem because of having special sight of 

42
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,300
beauty. Also, I admired the whole image, metaphors

43
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:19,940
and simile.

44
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,380
I was very pleased like you liked the poem, and I 

45
00:03:30,380 --> 00:03:35,640
know like many of you have, like many of us. But

46
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,700
yesterday when I was expounding the poem further, 

47
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:43,840
you know, like one student thought that, you know,

48
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:49,660
love cannot die. Yes, I said like love, can die,

49
00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:52,980
but there is a unique love which will never die.

50
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,940
Do you know which love we are talking about? Our 

51
00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:01,240
love for our creator, Allah. Our love for our

52
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,600
prophet. This is eternal love, you know? Okay, we

53
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,200
developed now this emotion, this love, and it will

54
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160
remain with us forever, even after our death. 

55
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,290
Good. So I think you had more time at home to read

56
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:23,150
the poem, more and more. And I think we discussed

57
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:28,010
the first stanza. Today, we're going to go to the 

58
00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:33,210
second stanza, in which he is appealing to people. 

59
00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:40,970
We, neighbors, we. So he's invoking people. Why do

60
00:04:40,970 --> 00:04:44,560
you think he's invoking people? Weak, neighbors 

61
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,320
weak, yes. He's calling weak neighbors weak. It's

62
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,440
a repetition. And again, because you know, the

63
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,500
whole atmosphere is a funeral atmosphere, so this,

64
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,520
you know, this says that, continues to suggest the

65
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,400
funeral atmosphere. And why do you think he chose

66
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,260
the funeral atmosphere? Or what does this add to 

67
00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:16,230
the poem? You have more seriousness? More sadness? 

68
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:21,710
Because if you remember, when he declared in the 

69
00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:25,070
second line that love is dead, that was a very

70
00:05:25,070 --> 00:05:31,270
funny thing, you know? Very ridiculous, yes. Yeah, 

71
00:05:34,470 --> 00:05:36,930
okay, and this is what he did when he declared 

72
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:39,890
that all love is dead. However, here, we, 

73
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:43,230
neighbors, we, he wanted like You know, to 

74
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:46,790
complete this atmosphere of the funeral, and I

75
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:49,190
think the atmosphere of the funeral is Jahan. It 

76
00:05:49,190 --> 00:05:53,870
also makes the metaphor more visual and more...

77
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:55,810
It's complicated because love is dead and you

78
00:05:55,810 --> 00:05:58,030
imagine a funeral, so if it's, as if it's, you

79
00:05:58,030 --> 00:06:00,810
know, it's love... And I think this adds, you 

80
00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:03,150
know, this adds some dignity to the whole 

81
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:03,590
situation. 

82
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,100
A funeral scene, we're talking about somebody 

83
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:12,580
who's dying, and this person seems to be a high

84
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,380
-ranking person because the monarch, the rich

85
00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:18,420
ones, you know? It's a church, the place itself

86
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:22,780
gives some feeling of awe and pity, which makes 

87
00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:26,840
the poem more attractive, I think. Okay, we 

88
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:30,140
neighbors, we do not hear it said that love is 

89
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:34,380
dead. Again, he is reminding the audience of the 

90
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:38,340
crisis of his ordeal. That love is dead, and the

91
00:06:38,340 --> 00:06:43,100
personification runs. Now we reach this, you know, 

92
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,540
stanza which is very rich in its figurative 

93
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:55,240
language. Is death that peacock's folly? You know?

94
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,660
What is like the folly of, you know, of course 

95
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:01,300
here we have a metaphor. What's the metaphor? 

96
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,760
What's the metaphor? No, I mean, the deathbed,

97
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,380
deathbed itself is the peacock's folly. You know,

98
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:20,320
like death, or love which is dead, is lying on the 

99
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,460
deathbed. But what is the deathbed? It is

100
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:27,000
arrogance. It is peacock's folly. So what is

101
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,660
peacock's folly? It is the arrogance, the conceit.

102
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,730
And do you think that conceit And arrogance is a

103
00:07:33,730 --> 00:07:40,270
bad value? Yeah. Because here, in a very indirect

104
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:45,890
way, he's telling us the many terrible attributes

105
00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:50,990
of the lady. Like she's well-reserved, that she's 

106
00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:53,930
changeable, well-reserved, that she is, you know, 

107
00:07:54,470 --> 00:07:57,470
like disdainful, scornful. And now he's telling

108
00:07:57,470 --> 00:08:02,250
us, like, she's arrogant. And his deathbed

109
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:05,630
peacocks falling. His winding sheet is what?

110
00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:10,370
Shame. You know? Like the shameful behavior. It's 

111
00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:13,050
like what? A winding sheet. And here, the winding

112
00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:16,550
sheet is what? What does he mean by winding sheet? 

113
00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:20,690
Like when a, you know, somebody dies, they wrap

114
00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:23,010
him, you know? And this is the winding sheet. It's 

115
00:08:23,010 --> 00:08:25,670
like, you know, the coffin itself. It's the coffin 

116
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:30,020
itself. So the winding sheet is what? Shame. Like,

117
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,240
she's wrapped by shame. Shame why? Shame why?

118
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,980
Because of her shameful behavior. Because of not 

119
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:45,540
considering him. Yes, she rejected him. And his 

120
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:50,380
will falls seemingly early. Like, okay, when we 

121
00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:54,200
are talking about somebody who died, sometimes 

122
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,720
like if, you know, some people leave a will. It 

123
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,350
wasn't a will. Yeah, a will, something, take this,

124
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:06,170
take that, this is a will. So what kind of will 

125
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:13,910
did love leave? What kind of love? It was full of 

126
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:18,450
lies. Again, this is another offensive, 

127
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:23,590
veterinarian-like attribute. Veterinarian-like, 

128
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:29,770
it's a very offensive one. His warning, she in his

129
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:34,970
shame, his will falls even on him. And then his 

130
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:39,630
sole executor in blame. So blame here, again, we 

131
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:42,550
have another personification. The blame is seen 

132
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:48,350
like what? A human being who executes. Who

133
00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:52,950
executes. So yes, the executor, the one who by

134
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:58,030
Terminates the life of a suspect, the life of a

135
00:09:58,030 --> 00:10:02,070
criminal, or execution here has double meaning. It 

136
00:10:02,070 --> 00:10:05,910
could be the judge. So blame itself is a

137
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:10,010
terminator of love. When lovers or friends keep 

138
00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:15,250
blaming each other, what happens? This noble 

139
00:10:15,250 --> 00:10:21,730
relationship between them comes to an end. Yes, so

140
00:10:21,730 --> 00:10:27,390
blame, is being seen as a person, you know, who's

141
00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:31,310
an executor, executes, kills, you know, or give a

142
00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:35,250
terrible judgment. And then, you know, the refrain

143
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:39,430
is repeating itself, and we'll talk about the

144
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:42,470
refrain, the value of the refrain later. But the 

145
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:46,370
refrain, it is like more supplication. You know, 

146
00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:49,870
what's mean supplication? He is supplicating, he's

147
00:10:49,870 --> 00:10:54,610
praying God to protect men Against the madness of

148
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:56,930
women and the madness of women, you know their 

149
00:10:56,930 --> 00:11:00,490
pride, their shame, their arrogance. You know their

150
00:11:00,490 --> 00:11:05,310
disdain and so on. Very disturbing, isn't it? Very 

151
00:11:05,310 --> 00:11:12,710
disturbing and I'm sorry. Yes, 

152
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:16,830
let dirge be sung. What is a dirge? 

153
00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:28,460
Trentons, also this is taken from church 

154
00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:31,500
situation, like when somebody dies, they keep 

155
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:36,660
singing songs, they are called Trentons for 30

156
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:41,020
days, in memory of the dead person. So Trentons is 

157
00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:50,860
like a sad religious song. Because the dead is of

158
00:11:50,860 --> 00:11:54,670
high ranking, position, so there should be you know

159
00:11:54,670 --> 00:11:57,730
a manifestation, which or a certain manifestation

160
00:11:57,730 --> 00:12:02,550
that said well, you know the infected or the 

161
00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:07,130
deceased one. Let theirs be sung and printers write 

162
00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:16,750
the red for love is dead. Lit okay, um sarang, yes

163
00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:22,830
sarang his tombs ordained. Again, what figure of

164
00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:27,830
speech when we say Sir Rong? No, it's a personal

165
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:31,110
occasion because Sir Rong is portrayed like what? 

166
00:12:32,070 --> 00:12:40,370
Like a sculptor who is carving, digging on a

167
00:12:40,370 --> 00:12:45,470
stone. You see? So, Serrang his tomb ordained. I 

168
00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:49,390
think Serrang, you know, it's a kind of, you know, 

169
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:53,350
sarcastic. It's sarcastic. Yes, Serrang his tomb

170
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:57,670
ordained. Now we are talking about, you know, the 

171
00:12:57,670 --> 00:13:02,750
tomb itself, the grave. But what is the grave? You

172
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:06,820
know, here, what is the grave? My mistress' marble

173
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:11,440
heart. Wow. This is very bad, yeah. So, so the grave of 

174
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,020
the dead love will be where, what, his mistress'

175
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:19,440
marble heart. What do you think of this image, you 

176
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,280
know, marble heart, yeah, yeah. It's irony in what 

177
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,980
sense, because he's saying he's calling your marble 

178
00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:30,220
heart, but at the same time he's attributing

179
00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:33,730
something really bad. Yeah. Yeah. But you think

180
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:39,230
that marble has a positive? Is he praising her? Or 

181
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:43,230
is he complaining? Yes. So, what is like known

182
00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:46,830
about marble? Let's see. Let's together figure out 

183
00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:49,910
the connotations of the word marble. Yes, please.

184
00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:54,170
Hard. Rigidness. Yeah.

185
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,740
So, it is elusive, you know. It seems nice, but it 

186
00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:12,020
is like hard. Okay. Yes? It seems soft,

187
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,680
but inside, it's cold. It seems, yeah, it 

188
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:21,980
seems like, you know, soft, but it is cold. And I

189
00:1

223
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:53,370
text. Allusion. It is different or reference to 

224
00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:57,230
another text or another, you know, something 

225
00:16:57,230 --> 00:17:00,230
outside the text, illusion. It's not 

226
00:17:00,230 --> 00:17:02,510
intertextuality here, but rather it is allusion 

227
00:17:02,510 --> 00:17:05,850
because he's like, he's not referring to a, you 

228
00:17:05,850 --> 00:17:08,450
know, a text, but he's referring to a myth, 

229
00:17:08,910 --> 00:17:12,750
something outside the text, to a Greek myth of 

230
00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:18,020
Cupid. Like, who's a cubit? Like in Greek 

231
00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:22,200
mythology, Cupid is an archer. You know what I'm 

232
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,740
saying? An archer, a man carrying darts and 

233
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:30,480
shooting. So if the dart hits and this man, Cupid 

234
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,240
is blind, you know, is blind. So this is the Greek 

235
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:40,510
mythology. And like, His daily activities are like 

236
00:17:40,510 --> 00:17:46,690
shooting and hitting people blindly. So this is 

237
00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:50,810
how the idea of love is blind comes from this 

238
00:17:50,810 --> 00:17:52,210
myth. 

239
00:17:53,910 --> 00:17:56,930
Her eyes were once his dart. So the two meanings, 

240
00:17:58,070 --> 00:18:00,590
the two possible meanings, what do you understand 

241
00:18:00,590 --> 00:18:06,370
from this line? You see? Yes? 

242
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,960
Yes. Yes. 

243
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,960
Yeah. Like how, you know, how could eyes like 

244
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,600
kill? Yeah, but if you go back to the poem, when 

245
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,620
we are talking about disdain, when we are talking 

246
00:18:28,620 --> 00:18:33,320
about, so if like the eyes are full of disdain, 

247
00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:38,820
disparagement, so yes, then the eyes would be like 

248
00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:41,420
the murderer of love. You see what I mean? So 

249
00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:45,900
there are two meanings. Either You know, her eyes 

250
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:49,980
were, you know, fascinating or he was attracted by 

251
00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:53,000
her eyes and this, you know, she's beautiful. Or, 

252
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,540
as we say, like, you know, her eyes were full of 

253
00:18:56,540 --> 00:19:00,220
scorn and this, you know, put an end or, you know, 

254
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:06,200
terminated the life of love. Then suddenly, you 

255
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,500
know, now believing this, this is a funeral 

256
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:14,070
atmosphere and suddenly, We have the poet come and 

257
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:20,010
say, Alas, I'm sorry, you know, I lie. I lie. 

258
00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:24,510
Don't believe me. Don't trust me. Come on. What 

259
00:19:24,510 --> 00:19:27,290
are you doing, you know? Are you playing with us? 

260
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:28,890
Okay.

261
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:39,260
Yeah, to retreat, to compliment. So you think it 

262
00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:42,340
is like, you know, he said what he wanted to say 

263
00:19:42,340 --> 00:19:46,720
and now he wants like to excuse himself by saying, 

264
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,940
no, I'm sorry, like, you know, but he did. He sent 

265
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:52,360
the message about the lady. Yes. 

266
00:20:03,180 --> 00:20:08,680
Yeah, but like here as you see it is the mind the 

267
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,760
reason which dominates at the end, dominates the 

268
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,480
passion of anger, the passion of revenge. So man 

269
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,800
might get angry, but at the end of the day, the 

270
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,120
reason should control and discipline this man. 

271
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,510
Again here, he is reflecting a cultural value in 

272
00:20:34,510 --> 00:20:38,530
the Elizabethan age. Because, as we said, the 

273
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:44,330
Elizabethan believed in the idea of order. Man 

274
00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:47,850
should be ordered. Man should not let any passion, 

275
00:20:48,190 --> 00:20:52,530
there should be balance in you. And reason should 

276
00:20:52,530 --> 00:20:56,520
control everything. So here, as you see, we have 

277
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,800
conflict between passion and reason. And it is the 

278
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,040
reason which dominates at the end, which controls 

279
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,140
the whole situation and the whole behavior. So 

280
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:11,400
love is not dead. It's backing up, backing up. 

281
00:21:11,940 --> 00:21:14,760
Love is not dead, but sleeps in her unmatched 

282
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,600
mind. So he started now to praise. Is he placating 

283
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,020
her? You know what it means to placate? hit a 

284
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:26,360
child, the child would cry, and then you placate, 

285
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:29,540
ah, don't do that, you know, this placation. Is he 

286
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:33,240
placating her? You know, telling her, like, I'm 

287
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,500
sorry, I didn't mean that, no, you know? It's a 

288
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,940
possibility, but like, you see here, this is a 

289
00:21:40,940 --> 00:21:45,040
reversal of the whole, you know, the whole poem. 

290
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,420
And it seems like he's praising, he's praising 

291
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:54,940
her. Yes? that it's ironic at the end because you 

292
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:57,800
can you can grasp like how really how honest his 

293
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,620
entire poem was and then at the end he goes and 

294
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:02,580
reverses everything so it might seem a bit 

295
00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:06,960
sarcastic. Yeah so in this in this sense Jihan you 

296
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,290
want like to suggest this is like only a stylistic 

297
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:17,070
shift, but it is not a thematic shift. The theme 

298
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:21,890
is the same. He's still criticizing the woman, and 

299
00:22:21,890 --> 00:22:25,130
he's criticizing her by using ironic. He's 

300
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:28,310
sarcastic in her unmatched mind, and he means like 

301
00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:31,990
she doesn't have. See what I mean? It's another 

302
00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:35,510
possibility. But if we look at Spencer, I think 

303
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,560
Spencer, sorry, Sidney. Sidney was a noble man. 

304
00:22:41,020 --> 00:22:44,640
And I think his vision and idea of the woman was 

305
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,320
not like, you know, the other courtly lovers. He 

306
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,500
returned, you know, her dignity. He respected her. 

307
00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:56,640
And as we said, you know, because, you know, the 

308
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,860
queen of that time was, you know, a woman. So he 

309
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:03,990
should behave himself. But this is what we observe 

310
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:06,790
in all his poems. Like, he is not like other 

311
00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:10,850
court— he writes about courtly love, but he's not 

312
00:23:10,850 --> 00:23:14,170
frustrated to the end. He keeps hope, you know? He 

313
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:19,010
keeps hope. And, like, he thinks that women is not 

314
00:23:19,010 --> 00:23:23,670
that, like, that bad. Women, like, has dignity, 

315
00:23:23,890 --> 00:23:27,370
you know, and so on. But I don't know. You are 

316
00:23:27,370 --> 00:23:30,330
still cynical. You don't believe him. Are you 

317
00:23:30,330 --> 00:23:33,800
cynical? I mean, like, you don't trust the poet. 

318
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Yeah, look at him. And like, it's not sorry. Like 

319
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,460
he is saying love is not dead, but asleep. in her 

320
00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:50,000
unmatched mind and I think you know whether this 

321
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,820
is irony but if we are looking about this yeah it 

322
00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:58,420
is good you know when people use their mind you 

323
00:23:58,420 --> 00:24:01,400
know so she's using her unmatched mind excellent 

324
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,680
she's brilliant where she his counsel keep you 

325
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,690
know till due dessert till the right person comes. 

326
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:13,870
And then she would go ahead. So she's not a lady 

327
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:18,130
who's swayed by her passion, by her emotions. But 

328
00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:22,270
she's a lady who employs her mind to control her 

329
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:26,410
behavior. And he's a poet also who uses his mind 

330
00:24:26,410 --> 00:24:30,330
to control his behavior. And perhaps we admire him 

331
00:24:30,330 --> 00:24:35,230
for this. Right, as you see, like, the poem is, 

332
00:24:35,470 --> 00:24:40,730
you know, funny, lovely, you know. It made us sad 

333
00:24:40,730 --> 00:24:45,730
and we laughed, you know. It made us like, you 

334
00:24:45,730 --> 00:24:50,270
know, or attracted us by its concrete 

335
00:24:50,270 --> 00:24:54,690
personifications, by metaphors, you know, and even 

336
00:24:54,690 --> 00:24:59,660
by music. I don't know like it seems like Amal is 

337
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:02,300
having something to say about music rhyme and 

338
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:08,700
rhythm okay so Amal is always like helping us look 

339
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:13,700
here how she filled this with you know At first, 

340
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,480
the poem consists of four stanzas, ten lines each. 

341
00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:21,520
And at the end of each stanza, there's a four-line 

342
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,040
refrain or a choral that is some sort of musical, 

343
00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:29,380
you know, fancy, frenzy, thus, and us. As for the 

344
00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:33,940
rhyme scheme, it is complicated to some extent and 

345
00:25:33,940 --> 00:25:37,280
a bit tricky. Yeah, excuse me. I noticed that, 

346
00:25:37,420 --> 00:25:40,540
like, the rhyme, sometimes it is masculine, 

347
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,320
sometimes it's feminine. And even I rhyme there is 

348
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,020
these spreads that Infected and rejected so you 

349
00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:50,880
want the rhyme is not consistent sometimes it is 

350
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,600
like feminine like you know Rejected like this 

351
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,320
game, but it is game is like masculine Thus is 

352
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,040
masculine us is masculine. So it is one syllable. 

353
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:08,840
So we are dealing with you know A rhyme which is 

354
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,500
not like very systematic, go ahead. Which goes of 

355
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:14,040
course with the atmosphere of the poem and his 

356
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,220
state of mind. The rhyme goes A, A, B, C, B, C, D, 

357
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:24,760
D, and E, E. As for the rhythm, the rhythm was 

358
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,600
also complicated. It is I am, it goes unstressed, 

359
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,920
stressed, unstressed, stressed. But as for the 

360
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280
bass meter, whether to decide whether it's a 

361
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,720
diameter or a pentameter, Because of the line 

362
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,120
length, it was also hard to decide. So the numbers 

363
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,060
here I have enlisted are the numbers of the 

364
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,840
overall syllables, whether stressed or unstressed. 

365
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,220
But when you want to decide what kind of base 

366
00:26:49,220 --> 00:26:52,580
meter, monomer, diameter, you have to only count 

367
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:55,500
the stressed syllables. So we have here- So I 

368
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,200
think in the first line we have ten syllables? 

369
00:26:57,460 --> 00:27:01,180
Yes. You know? And this is I am in. Pentameter 

370
00:27:01,180 --> 00:27:04,520
because it goes five it goes bring out your guns 

371
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,820
the morning should be spread for love is dead You 

372
00:27:07,820 --> 00:27:11,460
know, it's very systematic iambic pentameter Okay, 

373
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:15,620
and then you have the diameter You know, which is 

374
00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:18,480
it consists of two feet. It means to stress 

375
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,060
syllables unstressed stressed unstressed 

376
00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:24,050
unstressed And then we have triameter I think. I 

377
00:27:24,050 --> 00:27:26,550
was going to ask them actually that I want someone 

378
00:27:26,550 --> 00:27:30,830
of you to come and to divide the line and to 

379
00:27:30,830 --> 00:27:32,930
choose with and to decide whether it's a triameter 

380
00:27:32,930 --> 00:27:35,630
or any kind of them who wants to come and give it 

381
00:27:35,630 --> 00:27:41,170
a shot. Yes. Come on. It's not hard. Yeah, all of 

382
00:27:41,170 --> 00:27:45,110
them are infected with plague or disease they were 

383
00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:48,730
stopped or rejected. I think all of them are 

384
00:27:48,730 --> 00:27:53,610
having Yeah, the same rhythm. Would you like to 

385
00:27:53,610 --> 00:27:56,750
come and do this, please? Yeah, yeah. Try it out. 

386
00:27:56,810 --> 00:27:59,810
It is easy. It doesn't rise. 

387
00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:07,730
Allah. Allah. Allah. 

388
00:28:20,830 --> 00:28:30,370
because they never color okay so 

389
00:28:30,370 --> 00:28:36,430
yeah you can just say Allah is dead and second 

390
00:28:36,430 --> 00:28:44,090
dead so like six syllables Allah Allah look we 

391
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:48,090
don't say all Allah Allah 

392
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:55,420
unstressed stressed unstressed stressed is that is 

393
00:28:55,420 --> 00:28:58,740
that unstressed test you know stressed and then 

394
00:28:58,740 --> 00:29:02,740
infected you know infected by two syllables you 

395
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:06,140
know you're 

396
00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:06,360
right you're right 

397
00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:17,890
Okay. 

398
00:29:20,390 --> 00:29:27,890
No, like here, excuse me, you know, all done. And 

399
00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:31,590
then infected. 

400
00:29:32,390 --> 00:29:35,350
Infected, you know. Infected, unstressed, 

401
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:40,010
stressed, you know. So, this is like five meters. 

402
00:29:40,150 --> 00:29:44,230
Six feet. Now. Yes, six feet. But the feet is only 

403
00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:51,990
the chest, so they're free. Okay. Okay. So it is 

404
00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:55,570
trimeter. So like here in the poem, we have 

405
00:29:55,570 --> 00:30:00,130
pentameter, we have trimeter, we have diameter. I 

406
00:30:00,130 --> 00:30:03,250
don't know why. Why do you think, you know, like 

407
00:30:0

445
00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:42,490
Write a paragraph commenting on, like, the marble

446
00:32:42,490 --> 00:32:47,110
heart issue, you see? I lie, you know, what is

447
00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:52,390
that? It is here. Let the, you know, surround his

448
00:32:52,390 --> 00:32:54,630
tomb to ordain my merciless marble heart which

449
00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:57,670
epitaph contained. Her eyes were, you know, his

450
00:32:57,670 --> 00:33:01,310
dart. I need you to comment on this. You know, you

451
00:33:01,310 --> 00:33:04,890
can do it in like groups of two or three, so you

452
00:33:04,890 --> 00:33:08,050
have 10 minutes for this exercise. Of course, this

453
00:33:08,050 --> 00:33:11,410
is an idea which shows, you know, the angle of

454
00:33:11,410 --> 00:33:15,180
rigidity. Like how she's rigid, you know? Talk

455
00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:17,540
about this and try to link it with the other

456
00:33:17,540 --> 00:33:20,620
themes, with the overall theme of the poet, because

457
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:24,860
we are talking about courtly love or unrequited

458
00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:29,780
love. And here, as you see, the poet is

459
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:34,820
complaining. Isn't he? Is he complaining? Again,

460
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,780
there is a possibility that he was acclaiming. So

461
00:33:38,780 --> 00:33:41,440
you can talk about two possibilities, you can talk

462
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,020
about one possibility, but okay, go ahead, And I

463
00:33:45,020 --> 00:33:47,980
want you to write like what we did in Sir Thomas

464
00:33:47,980 --> 00:33:50,860
Wyatt. I need a nice paragraph, okay? Go ahead.

465
00:33:56,980 --> 00:34:00,020
Just write it, huh? Write it. Okay,

466
00:34:04,260 --> 00:34:08,620
I think now you're done. It's only a small

467
00:34:08,620 --> 00:34:13,310
paragraph. So let's see those who succeeded in

468
00:34:13,310 --> 00:34:17,030
writing a small paragraph. Yes, Ola, I think. You

469
00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:21,990
come here and read what you have, okay? Read. It's

470
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:24,450
a paragraph, it's a part of the whole commentary,

471
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:27,830
but we are concentrating on the image of the

472
00:34:27,830 --> 00:34:30,770
marble heart and, you know, the gold standard.

473
00:34:30,930 --> 00:34:33,290
Yes, what do you want to say? Like since everybody

474
00:34:33,290 --> 00:34:35,690
is deceived by the delicacy of the females

475
00:34:35,690 --> 00:34:37,910
apparent claiming that passion dominates their

476
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:40,830
decisions. Could you like slow down and raise your

477
00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:43,190
voice a little bit? Since everybody is deceived by

478
00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:46,310
the delicacy of the females apparent claiming that

479
00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:49,510
passion dominates their decisions and behaviors.

480
00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:52,210
So it's the time for everyone to know that women

481
00:34:52,210 --> 00:34:56,030
are rigid and hard as much as they seem delicate.

482
00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:58,460
This is what the poet thinks, you know? Yeah.

483
00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:02,820
Yeah. So there is elusive, you know. Apparent or

484
00:35:02,820 --> 00:35:05,620
elusive like appearance. Appearance about her.

485
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:10,240
Also, how the poet complained from the killing eyes

486
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:13,540
since she cannot do anything to make them less

487
00:35:13,540 --> 00:35:15,960
attractive or even less arrogant or disdainful.

488
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,280
Okay, good. Thank you. But it's still like you

489
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,700
didn't talk about the mythical myth itself. Good.

490
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,150
Let's see another paragraph. Yes, Jinan?

491
00:35:33,950 --> 00:35:37,130
Okay, good. Because I didn't have time. Okay, Sir

492
00:35:37,130 --> 00:35:39,670
Philip Sidney's litany sure does portray his

493
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:41,990
love in the most rigid fashion a lady can be.

494
00:35:43,820 --> 00:35:45,960
Though he tempered his wrath with some reason

495
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,760
towards the end, his third stanza pictures the

496
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,520
grape of his love lying in his mistress' marble

497
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,500
heart, i.e., stone-tough heart. The poet seems

498
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,940
quite offended for being rejected, which is

499
00:35:56,940 --> 00:35:59,620
suggested by his wrath and the courtly love theme

500
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:02,880
that is dominating his discourse. Wow, it's a

501
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,520
critique. Yes, please. Have we done all of this in

502
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,690
ten minutes? It's good, you know. You see here, as

503
00:36:11,690 --> 00:36:16,310
we see, we reach this point of connecting the

504
00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:18,190
specialized language with the public language.

505
00:36:18,250 --> 00:36:22,190
Yes. The poet tried to gain the reader's sympathy.

506
00:36:22,190 --> 00:36:25,110
Could you raise? The poet tries to gain the

507
00:36:25,110 --> 00:36:27,890
reader's sympathy. He describes his beloved's

508
00:36:27,890 --> 00:36:31,890
heart as marble in its hardness and crudely. He

509
00:36:31,890 --> 00:36:36,810
continued that her eyes killed him and his love.

510
00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:40,410
He tried to convey a bad picture about all women

511
00:36:40,410 --> 00:36:43,130
to make the readers share him in his suffering. So

512
00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:46,150
I think you are more general. You are very general

513
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:48,240
because we need here like when you're talking

514
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:51,400
about her eyes were like a dart, you have to talk

515
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,120
about like how deadly and fatal, you know, like

516
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,580
her eyes were to that to love itself. So you

517
00:37:00,580 --> 00:37:02,800
escaped from that and you started to talk about

518
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,240
general things. Try to be more specific. Good.

519
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:07,300
Yes.

520
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,300
The last one before we leave. Next time we're

521
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:18,360
doing Spencer. I wrote her name upon this thread,

522
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,460
which is like a very important Elizabethan theme.

523
00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:25,600
The poet is starting the stanza with a calling of

524
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,000
the breeze to say his terms because of the death

525
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,340
of his lover, who describes her as a marvel. I

526
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:36,320
think he meant the dark side in the marvel, that

527
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,620
she is tough and doesn't complain with others,

528
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:41,480
because when a marvel comes close to another one,

529
00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:44,000
it pushes him away. That's exactly what the lover

530
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,470
did to the poet. The other metaphor is in the

531
00:37:47,470 --> 00:37:49,970
heart. He symbolizes her to the deal that can't be

532
00:37:49,970 --> 00:37:54,570
easily touched. At the end, the poem, the poet...

533
00:37:54,570 --> 00:37:58,160
So I think when he portrays her... hard like a

534
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,520
marble stone like it's very offensive you know so

535
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,940
there is no chance even, you know, for any passion

536
00:38:06,940 --> 00:38:11,960
to survive. Yes, good. Yes, at the end, he mentioned

537
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,700
her eyes as the dart who makes him fall in love

538
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,180
and at the same time those are the one who killed

539
00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:19,980
him and rejected him. Good. Thank you very much.

540
00:38:19,980 --> 00:38:25,310
Thank you for listening, and next time, we hope you

541
00:38:25,310 --> 00:38:29,270
come with a new poem and a new poet, you know. But

542
00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:33,450
remember, try to jot down all, I mean, the points

543
00:38:33,450 --> 00:38:37,910
we discussed. You can look at the class again, and

544
00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:39,790
hopefully you'll be okay. Thank you.
