Literary essay of passion
"Passion" written by Kathleen Raine, is a poem that talks about love. In which she express both sides of love. In this essay you will see the two aspects of love, the suffering one, and the beautiful part.
Suffering for love is horrible. Because you are always thinking in your lover, and you can not take it from your head. And even more if him or her does not answer you like if you were not there. Waiting for the longed-for voice to speak/Through the mute telephone, my body grew weak"
On the other hand, the satisfactory part which is the best one. We have to learn that that being alone is also a beautiful. And we have to appreciate the wonderfulness of nature. Being conscious that God will always love us no matter what happened. "Know now that you are born along with these/.Clouds, winds and stars (...)"
Concluding, we do not have to worried if our boyfriend or girlfriend left us. We were born alone having the love of God. We have to see around and realise that this is a splendid world
What we have here is a great seed of a literary essay. You´ve got the basics covered: personal interpretations, quotations and good organisation. Your analysis is satisfactory since you refer to human and divine love. We just need to put all these things together in a more elaborate way:
ResponderEliminar- Introduction: short but clear.
- Body: Your quotations seem to appear quite abruptly. Try to connect them so that they don´t look like an isolated thing. Eg: Raine exresses this well-known state using personification in the line "Waiting for the longed-for voice to speak/Through the mute telephone, my body grew weak".
Also, try to interpret why the author chose this literary device. Eg: The use of personification suggests that the presence of the telephone reminds her of the absence of her lover, reinforcing her feeling of sadness and loneliness.
Finally, what happens to this woman after God has spoken to her? Quote some lines from the last two stanzas so as to analyse this change in her.
- Conclusion: again, short but clear. Try to refer to the poem once more. Does the lyrical I get to realise all this?
