Meaning of "Smile" in 2 Poems
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay on the use of the world "smile" in 2 poems. Robert Browning in "My Last Duchess" and Dorothy Parker in "A Certain Lady" create poems that employ the word "smile." "Smile" in each poem refers to the standard meaning of the word, that is, a facial expression in which the corners of the mouth turn upward, indicating pleasure or amusement; however, this word is employed quite differently within the context of each poem. Browning's Duke Ferrara condemns his "last duchess" because she smiled too freely and too genuinely and did not keep her smiles as something belonging solely to him. Dorothy Parker's "certain lady" convinces her lover that her special smiles are only for him, but admits that they hide a duplicitous heart. No additional sources cited.

Medieval Cities in Dante's Inferno
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the role of cities as settings in Dante's Inferno. In the notes that accompany the Hollander and Hollander translation of Dante's Inferno, these translators comment that the medieval city provides the "centering image of political life" for Dante's vision of Hell (Hollander and Hollander 56). As this indicates, Dante pictures Hell in terms that are synonymous with those of an earthly city, such as his native Florence. As this indicates, an examination of Dante's references to cities in the Inferno demonstrates how this setting aided Dante in accomplishing his literary goals. No additional sources cited.

Medieval Text/The Wanderer
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that comments on a medieval Anglo-Saxon poem. The European world changed greatly during the Middle Ages, both physically and spiritually. While some individuals were able to accept the precepts of Christianity easily, others experienced emotional turmoil over the changes that advancing Christianity brought, which included the destruction of cherished cultural values, such as the mead-hall and having primary allegiance to the clan ruler. The Wanderer is a medieval text in which the author explores the spiritual changes he is undergoing. To describe this spiritual transformation in concrete terms, the poet uses the physical world allegorically in order to describe his spiritual journey. No additional sources cited.

the greatest of the metaphysical poets and one of the greatest
writers of the poetry of love. Donne belonged to a group of
writers for whom personal passion was more important than social
prominence, and whose writing reflected the gender bias of their
century. Donne’s use of metaphor and language establish the ways
in which he sees connections, romantic and meaningful, in even
the most commonplace of circumstances. Bibliography lists 3
sources.
