I hope everybody’s well. Here’s your latest set of tasks on The Eve of St Agnes:
2) Remind yourself
about Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas of the Apollonian and Dionysian mindsets from his book, The
Birth of Tragedy. You
probably have notes about this from one of our last lessons. You can re-watch
the slightly weird School of Life video here:
3) Use this Google doc to write a single paragraph response about Madeline and Porphyro
as direct opposites (think
thoughts/sensations, prey/predator, Apollo/Dionysus, purple/pale, white,
silver). You’ll need to make your own copy of the doc first (use the FILE tab).
4) Read and annotate lines 251-306 of The Eve of St Agnes. You can find my annotations here,
or use this or this or this study guide.
Remember, I’m only after a single
paragraph for task 3, but make sure you use the text and comment on Keats’s
methods in contrasting these characters. Don’t forget to share your document
with me when you’re done.
Don’t go overboard: tasks 1 and
2 should take less than ten minutes and the paragraph task should only take
fifteen or so. It’s the reading/annotating that you should take extra time and
care on.
That’s it for this week. Let me
know if you need any help.
Mr M
