AQA A2 English Literature LITA3: Love Through the Ages, 11 June 2015

whats the term for addressing an inanimate object in poetry?

I would probably talk about the way family is a hindrance on Romeo and Juliet's love 'wherefore art thou romeo? deny thy father and refuse thy name!"

The marriage affair within hamlet between his uncle (who murdered his father) and his mother, hamlet says "with such dexterity to incestuous sheets! it is not nor cannot come to good; but break my heart i must hold thy tongue" he talks about holding back his emotions after his outburst because of the social order. in the Elizabethan world view the king is a godly representative and within the hierarchy hamlet is beneath and cannot disrespect the current king despite his lack of morals. Hamlet's repression is antagonised by the fact that he would have been next to the throne if claudius did not marry his mother and also due to the fact that he has not yet caught out claudius for his murder. He tries to do this with the dumb show. he also respects his mother more than claudius in this affair so this can show his bond with Gertrude; many critics have lent this to the concept of the Oedipus complex, particularly in theatre adaptations whereby this monologue is given in her bedroom.

You could use One Flesh by Elizabeth Jennings who propoes a slightly more modern view on the family and concludes with "whose fire from which i came has now grown cold?"
we are exposed to a narrative to a married couple who are "strangely close yet strangely far apart" (you can also use this for marriage and how they would persevere because of societal expectations perhaps?) but towards the end we learn that it is a narrative from the child's perspective

As for prose i would probably go for Pride and Prejudice " your mother will never see you again if you do not marry mr. collins and i will never see you again if you do" this one is selfe explanatory because it comes from #Austen's P&P

Thanks so much! Our teacher told us only romantic love comes up but apparently that's not true 😳

There are many sub-themes to love through the ages! Romance is just one of them. I have wider reading for romantic, marriage, familial, illicit, gender, death and loss, friendship and unrequited. But again the papers can come up with their own theme like one year it was proposals.

Can you briefly expand on the quote from Pride and Prejudice please?

What did you guys link to? I did to his coy mistress for q1 and the great gatsby and streetcar for q2.

Oh and wtf was D
