First paper: "On
Death"
Topic :
Analysis of the poem
Author of
the poem: Percy Bysshe Shelley
Abstract :
In this poem, Shelly reminds how ephemeral is life, which creates us a
state of disappointment on facing the unavoidable, the death. He also
describes
a hopeless
sensation of uncertainty because we never get to understand the mysteries
of life. Finally he shows some kind of despise to those who claim to
understand life and death, referring clearly to
Religion. We are going to analyse which elements lead us to these conclusions
and also which poetic elements uses Shelley to give intensity to his ideas of
death.
Second paper:
Two Ways of Appreciating Female
Beauty
Topic
: Comparative analysis of the poems "She
Walks in Beauty" and "A Pretty Woman"
Author of
the poems : Lord Byron and Robert
Browning
Abstract :
Two literary periods will necessarily have different visions of Beauty. A
beautiful woman can have an spiritual, almost metaphysical aura or a more
'down-to-earth' beauty, depending on who describes her. Also the way to
appreciate that beauty can change. Beauty can inspire feelings of love and
emotion to some kind of poets, while others will appreciate beauty just in
terms of momentary liking, without emotional implication. So our task is to
analyse which elements are characteristic of Romanticism and which of
Victorianism, as well as try to find some links between both poems and poets.
Auto-evaluation: I have fulfilled all your
requirements to pass the subject (attendance to classes, papers, quizz,
webpage and exposition), always trying to do my best and following your
guidelines; but taking into consideration that I made a few mistakes in the
quizz and in the papers, I would probably deserve a Notable.
