An interesting detail is the capitalization of nouns, which was a common feature of enlightenment literature.
Curious about this concept. My initial thought would be that the capitalized words were used for emphasis or distinction, but I'm not sure. Need to look this up.
“Why do you have so many images of flayed animals and animal skins in your poems?” to which the poet replied, “Do I?” After rereading his poems, he said, “Yes, I see that I do,” and he then tried to find a reason for those images, but clearly he was taken by surprise at what he himself had written.
What? I'm extremely curious about this instance. I would like to read whatever poem this was.
Of course, anyone who needs to read a play to learn that important lesson probably has other, more serious problems.
LOL! ;))
Consequently, when people read literature, they are afraid that they are not getting what it “really” says.
I am certainly guilty of this type of thinking. Mistakenly or not, more intentional analysis and willingness for abstracts would benefit me.
