Extended commentary of During Wind and Rain by Thomas Hardy Essay Example for Free
Extended commentary of During Wind and Rain by Thomas Hardy Essay On the Title: An ambiguous and interesting choice of title, in that it is ââ¬â as I will show ââ¬â both incongruous with the tense (or time-scale) used in the poem and draws the readerââ¬â¢s attention to descriptions of the weather. The word ââ¬Å"duringâ⬠makes the weather conditions affect the present. However, the poem is mostly written in the historic present and many of the stanzas depict images of bright, pleasant days ââ¬â not the ââ¬Å"wind and rainâ⬠alluded to in the title. There is clearly an intentional discrepancy being orchestrated here by Hardy. Quote SLS: ââ¬Å"Beware ââ¬Å"duringâ⬠, the incongruous preposition.â⬠Overall Structure: Four stanzas of seven lines, with a very strange (but regular) rhyme scheme. Hardy uses a very odd structure indeed. The rhyme scheme utilised in the poem consists of: ABCBCDA. There are multiple effects of this: * The sixth line in the stanza breaks the poetic flow of the stanza, as it is the only line not to rhyme with another ââ¬â hence acting like a mid-stanzaic volta. It draws attention to itself. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the sixth line of every stanza breaks away from the theme of familial happiness painted in the previous five lines, and turns the subject to the contrasting theme of death. Observe the refrains used! * The drawn out ââ¬Å"Aâ⬠rhyme encompasses the entirety of each stanza. Given that the last line (about death) is linked to the first (about life), is Hardy trying to show the unavoidable connection of life and death? * Seven lines to each stanza perhaps represent a week, just as the four stanzas represent the seasons? Very poor allusion. Themes: Death, Family life, Time, The Seasons. Difficult Language Notes: ââ¬Å"Blithelyâ⬠means ââ¬Å"happilyâ⬠. First Stanza Notes: ââ¬Å"They sing their dearest songs ââ¬â He, she, all of them ââ¬â yea, Treble and tenor and bass, And one to play; With the candles mooning each face Ah, no, the years O! How the sick leaves reel down in throngs!â⬠This poem is one full of repetition and refrain. The general layout of each stanza, in terms of theme, organisation and repetition of certain lines, remains constant. Each stanza, for example, opens with an image of a family ââ¬â presumably the same one throughout ââ¬â in a place, or carrying out an action, in a unified and ââ¬Å"happyâ⬠way. This stanza evokes a scene of the Victorian family gathered, singing, around a piano (ââ¬Å"one to playâ⬠), as piano playing and ââ¬Å"sing-a-longâ⬠was, of course, very common in Hardyââ¬â¢s time. Note how he only uses personal pronouns; distancing effect? Hardy goes to perhaps extreme lengths to show the familyââ¬â¢s unity. On a critical note, one could criticise his rather inefficient use of the first four lines of this poem, but that is not our aim. Some analysis: * ââ¬Å"They sing their dearest songsâ⬠. Note the use of a superlative adjective in ââ¬Å"dearestâ⬠. It is the first of many. We may query its meaning; perhaps it indicates a certain reverence to familial attitude, both in Hardy and in the family itself. They are enjoying it! * ââ¬Å"He, she, all of them.â⬠Illustrates a togetherness within the family ââ¬â one which (as Hardy will later comment upon) Death inevitably overcomes. The following line regarding the different musical voice (ââ¬Å"Treble and tenor and bassâ⬠) illustrates a similar thing, but is used to point out that Death affects all elements of family, regardless of age. How very depressing ââ¬â weââ¬â¢re only at line 3! Even better, he does this in all stanzas. * ââ¬Å"ââ¬â yeaâ⬠Note use of colloquial (conversational) affirmative. Not only is it used to force the rhyme scheme, but it contrasts with the later ââ¬Å"Ah, noâ⬠, which is negative. Hardy does this in all stanzas. Without jumping ahead, however, it is simply a friendly comment of approval. * ââ¬Å"With the candles mooning each faceâ⬠Night time scene. Interesting, seeing as it contrasts with the other images presented, which are all in bright daylight. * ââ¬Å"Ah, no; the years O!â⬠Thus we encounter the ââ¬Å"inter-stanzaic voltaâ⬠. Not only does the rhyme scheme depart from regularity (We label the sixth line in all stanzas the ââ¬ËDââ¬â¢ rhyme, as it is the only line not to have a rhyming companion). It signifies a departure from the pleasant theme of the unadulterated joy of family life, and an arrival at the theme of its death ââ¬â or the fact that it is all going ââ¬Å"to passâ⬠eventually. As before mentioned, the ââ¬Å"Ah, no;â⬠contrasts with the previous affirmative. The actual sense of this line is rather obscure. We assume that Hardy is implicitly commenting on the fact that ââ¬Å"the yearsâ⬠take away/ damage the family life ââ¬â as they pass, so does the family and its happiness. ââ¬Å"O!â⬠is an ejaculation, expressing sadness or mourning for the family. * ââ¬Å"How the sick leaves reel down in throngs!â⬠Hardy furthers his ideas about death. Here is a line referring to the autumnal decay of life ââ¬â leaves falling ââ¬â and the way in which it precedes Death. Note how the leaves, when considered in ââ¬Å"throngsâ⬠, may represent people? In the same way, a ââ¬Å"reelâ⬠is a type of dance; is this (a slightly sick) dance of death? Unlikely, but we must remember that Hardy has no qualms with tragic irony. Second Stanza Notes: ââ¬Å"They clear the creeping moss ââ¬â Elders and juniors ââ¬â aye, Making the pathways neat and the garden gay; And they build a shady seat Ah, no; the years, the years; See the white storm-birds wing across!â⬠Once again, Hardy begins his stanza with an image of the family, this time in the garden ââ¬â presumably in spring, as suggested by the fact that they are clearing the remains of winter (ââ¬Å"the creeping mossâ⬠), whilst he describes the garden as ââ¬Å"gayâ⬠. One can immediately recognise the structural similarities shared with the first stanza, as well as the meaning behind the ââ¬Å"pleasantâ⬠image. * Note that Hardy now observes that both ââ¬Å"Elders and juniorsâ⬠participate ââ¬â again, he differentiates between the different members of the family, but now uses the factor of age, as opposed to musical voices. This serves only to strengthen the original analysis; that unity may be visible and, indeed, enjoyable, but it is only fleeting in the face of Death. Lovely * Observe how the familyââ¬â¢s actions are arranged around both ââ¬Å"making the place neat/prettyâ⬠and around comfort. ââ¬Å"Making pathways neatâ⬠and ââ¬Å"building a shady seatâ⬠have only temporary effects upon happiness ââ¬â the ââ¬Å"mossâ⬠will grow back, the pathways will become untidy in time, when Winter (representing Death and decay) comes. Thus we find that Hardy is setting up, within his ââ¬Å"pleasantâ⬠image, the backdrop upon which he wishes to point out that all happiness, joy ââ¬â and life itself ââ¬â is fleeting. * Or is it an image of the ââ¬Å"futility of human endeavourâ⬠ââ¬â the weather will erode the order imposed upon it, and ultimately Death will prevail? * On an aside: evidence for the scene being set in spring: if the seat is shady, then surely the sun must be out in broad daylight ââ¬â not a symptom commonly associated with the Wintry illness! Ah, no; the years, the years; See the white storm-birds wing across! And yet, on cue, Hardy revives his alternative theme ââ¬â this time with a slightly different D rhyme/phrase. The colloquial negative remains, but Hardy uses the echo of ââ¬Å"the yearsâ⬠to emphasize the passage of time. He uses the same phrase in the fourth stanza, yet repeats the primary ejaculation in the third stanza (they alternate). The final line of the stanza is rather interesting. ââ¬Å"Storm-birdsâ⬠sound like mythical beasts ââ¬â perhaps the extremity of phrase reflects that of Death? ââ¬â yet they are most likely geese, flying away before Winter comes. It is not as disturbing an image as that of the leaves ââ¬Å"reelingâ⬠, but it again points to the same idea. The use of strong verbs in all final lines in all stanza adds to their strength: ââ¬Å"reelâ⬠in Stanza One, ââ¬Å"wingâ⬠in the second, etc. ââ¬Å"To wingâ⬠itself is an unusual choice, perhaps adding to a sense of the supernatural. Think back to ââ¬Å"Neutral Tonesâ⬠and the ââ¬Å"ominous bird a-wingâ⬠. The verb has the same effect here. Third Stanza Notes: ââ¬Å"They are blithely breakfasting all ââ¬â Men and maidens ââ¬â yea, Under the summer tree, With a glimpse of the bay, While pet fowl come to the knee Ah, no; the years O! And the rotten rose is ript from the wall.â⬠Here Hardy is at last explicit about the season and its effects; much as Autumn and Winter are representative of Death and decay, spring and summer bear idyllic delights. In this stanza, we find ourselves in the latter. One cannot ââ¬Å"overdoâ⬠the emphasis which Hardy applies to the seasons. He pictures human life as tragically linear, whilst comparing it to the inevitably cyclical seasons. In the end, the seasons ââ¬â especially Winter ââ¬â bring about the decay of a finite life. And yet, to begin with, this stanza suggests that the family are blissfully unaware of that fact. * Once again, we find the family in unity and happy ââ¬â seeing as they are ââ¬Å"blithely breakfastingâ⬠ââ¬â suggesting a disregard for the potential decay and sadness. They appear to live in the happy present. * It has been suggested that the family have now grown up, seeing as they are now described as ââ¬Å"Men and maidensâ⬠as opposed to ââ¬Å"Elders and juniorsâ⬠. Side point ââ¬â no way to substantiate claim. Of course, now Hardy differentiates between them using sex ââ¬â all the more differences which Death can overcome. * Allusions to an Arcadian ideal ââ¬â a perfect landscape, full of happiness ââ¬â are impossible to avoid. ââ¬Å"Under the summer tree / With a glimpse of the bayâ⬠; it sounds more like Tuscany than Britain! Of course, Hardy is not that explicit. The ââ¬Å"bayâ⬠may just as well be a bay tree, as much as a bit of coastland. Still, the image remains idyllic. And yet, ââ¬Å"I [Death] am hereâ⬠. * ââ¬Å"The pet fowlâ⬠may represent a further source of happiness ââ¬â domesticated or agricultural livestock have always been kept for the happiness of oneââ¬â¢s stomach or oneââ¬â¢s heart. Either will do. More human endeavour to be laid waste to by Death? Here, as usual, the poem breaks away and returns to the original ejaculation about the years passing. Note how the ââ¬Å"O!â⬠lengthens the line ââ¬â it slows the reader down. Otherwise analysed above. The final image evocative of Death, however, is of our greatest interest: ââ¬Å"The rotten rose is ript from the wall.â⬠Again, an ambiguous phrase creates the sense of sickening mystery which Death itself possesses. Not only does the obvious alliteration of the ââ¬Å"râ⬠sound mount both the tension and force placed upon the final verb, but it also mirrors the ugly nature of the act itself. ââ¬Å"Riptâ⬠is merely an archaic spelling of ââ¬Å"rippedâ⬠ââ¬â the sense is the same and bears the same strength. Yet who, or what, rips up the rose? Obviously, the image is representative of Death claiming a life; the verb suggests an unpleasant or untimely death. Quote SLS: ââ¬Å"A complete severance from lifeâ⬠. Perhaps we can extrapolate this further to make a comment on the cruelty of Death in Hardyââ¬â¢s eyes? It may well be the wind. This would fit with the title, although we must still ponder the incongruous preposition, ââ¬Å"duringâ⬠. Perhaps the entire image is metaphorical, and Death is simply tearing a previously beautiful flower (ââ¬Å"rottenâ⬠is probably representative of ââ¬Å"oldâ⬠) away from life? Fourth Stanza Notes: ââ¬Å"They change to a high new house, He, she, all of them ââ¬â aye, Clocks and carpets and chairs On the lawn all day, And the brightest things that are theirs Ah, no; the years, the years; Down their carved names the rain-drop ploughs.â⬠Clearly the family have grown wealthier, to move house ââ¬â and, it seems, they have moved quite literally ââ¬Å"upâ⬠in the world, as it is a ââ¬Å"highâ⬠one. One may question whether this stanza overly reflects upon the materialistic joys of the world. Maybe that is Hardyââ¬â¢s intention. I doubt, however, that this is an explicit attack upon those who value material objects; rather a memento mori, in that, despite the temporary pleasure of wealth and possessions, Death will always claim victory. Deeper analysis: * Note how we have returned to ââ¬Å"He, she, all of themâ⬠. Have we come round in a full generational cycle? * The weather remains good, as the family display their possessions on the lawn, presumably as they either prepare to move them to the new house from the old, or simply before they have been properly installed. Clearly Hardy is using summer to represent joy and prosperity. * The language bears little complexity ââ¬â hence little analysis! Is this done to reflect the simple, but enjoyable, pleasures of materialistic desires and good weather? * ââ¬Å"Brightest things which are theirsâ⬠. Note another superlative. Relevance/ importance, other than to add emphasis? (Have previously analysed the secondary ejaculation. Now repeated.) The final image of the poem is possibly the most interesting, dramatic and explicit. ââ¬Å"Down their carved names the rain-drop ploughs.â⬠Here Hardy at last makes an explicit reference to the subject of death, in that their ââ¬Å"carved namesâ⬠are grave stones, whilst also tying in the title (with the reference to the weather). Primarily, we are shocked by the contrast; clearly, Hardy is imagining the same individuals with whom we are now familiar (as ââ¬Å"the familyâ⬠) as being dead. They have been buried. This is a very sudden and rather upsetting realisation. Hardy very successfully makes his point about the frailty and temporal nature of life. Their successes and happiness are irrelevant. How depressing! Worse, Hardy suggests that the weather erodes them not only in life, but also destroys (ââ¬Å"ploughsâ⬠) their memory in death; the rain drop appears to be eroding away the names from the stones. This insensitivity contrasts with the use of ââ¬Å"namesâ⬠, which are highly personal. Perhaps, however, Hardy intends ââ¬Å"ploughsâ⬠to be positive. As in the agricultural sense, the rain drop prepares for new growth? Final note: Is the narrator writing the poem in the grave-yard? Are the images he recollects merely his memories of a family now dead ââ¬â the images of Death are all happening around him ââ¬Å"during wind and rainâ⬠? Clever point. Perhaps.

A Comparison of Women in Amy Tans The Joy Luck Club and Kitchen Gods
Strong Women in The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God's Wifeà à à à à One of the common themes in both The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God's Wife is strong women. All the women in both generations in each book gain strength through different experiences. These experiences range from a war-ravaged China to the modern day stresses of womanhood. Though different experiences have shaped each woman, they are all tied together by the common thread of strength. à The Joy Luck Club portrays strong women. The examples that come across most strikingly to the reader are the women who lived in traditional China. An-Mei Hsu gained her strong will from her mother's weak spirit. In her story, titled "Magpies," An-Mei's mother is forced into the life of a concubine. Her mother is tricked by Wu Tsing, a rich merchant, and is brutally raped. Second Wife's trickery lures An-Mei's mother into a life in which she is forced to bear a son that she cannot claim as her own. As a last resort, An-Mei's mother commits suicide two days before the Chinese New Year, in order to ensure that her daughter can someday rise above the position of a concubine's daughter. An-Mei's mother, as the poison travels through her body, whispers, "I would rather kill my own weak spirit so I can give you a stronger one." à Another example of a strong female character is seen in Suyuan Woo. During her escape from China, she is forced to abandon her twin daughters on the roadside. She leaves her daughters with the hope of someday returning to them. As the women of the Joy Luck Club tell June, "She walked down the road, stumbling and crying, thinking only of this one last hope, that her daughters would be found by a kindhearted person who would care for ... ... At this moment, Winnie's life takes a turn for the better, for she now knows that she can endure anything that life has to offer. à According to critic Susan Dooley, "Amy Tan's brilliant novels flit in and out of many realities but all of them contain mothers and daughters....Each story is a fascinating vignette, and together they weave the reader through a world where the Moon Lady can grant any wish, where a child, promised in marriage at two and delivered at twelve, can, with cunning, free herself; where a rich man's concubine secures her daughter's future by killing herself and where a woman can live on, knowing she has lost her entire life." à Works Cited and Consulted: Tan, Amy.

People Are Born with Disabilities Essay
Society has indicated that it is not concerned about people with disabilities. Mark Haddonââ¬â¢s novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, follows the theme of ââ¬Å"sometimes people are born with disabilities but itââ¬â¢s communities that handicap themâ⬠. In the novel, the protagonist, Christopher, is put into challenging situations where people do not consider the fact that someone may be disabled. This causes misinterpretations of language and emotions that causes society to blindly handicap others without realizing the outcome. People do not consider the fact that someone may be disabled. Christopher does not like being touched; this is why he hit the police officer when the officer grabbed his arm. The ââ¬Å"policeman looked at me for a little while without speaking. Then he said, ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢m arresting you for assaulting a police officer.â⬠The officer did not know that Chris was disabled or that he did not like being touched. This is why he was in shock when Chris hit him and this left the officer no choice but to treat this as any criminal offence and arrest Christopher. Another incident occurred when Christopher went to the train station to go to London and live with his mother. He went onto the train tracks to catch his pet rat, Toby and a train was speeding towards Christopher so a man grabbed him and saved his life. Christopher says ââ¬Å"And the man with the diamond pattern on his socks grabbed me by the shoulders, so I screamed.â⬠Again, it is obvious that the man with the pattern ed socks was oblivious to the fact that Christopher was disabled. The man was right on his place as he was trying to save a boy that potentially could have been run over by a speeding train but he only made the situation worse by not understanding Christopherââ¬â¢s case. Through Christopherââ¬â¢s struggles of retaliating when being touched and the two peopleââ¬â¢s effort of trying to set things right with Christopher, it is obvious that society does not consider the fact that someone may be disabled. Some people have difficulty in understanding what people are saying and interpreting their emotions. Christopher has Aspergerââ¬â¢s Syndrome, which causes problems with understanding speech and interpreting emotions. Christopher says, ââ¬Å"I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It only has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating.â⬠Christopher likes dogs as they only have basic moods that Christopher can understand. He prefers dogs rather than humans as humans are much more complex when it comes to emotions and their speech is also not specific and to-the-point like Christopherââ¬â¢s therefore it is not easily understandable. Christopher does not like it when people said things like ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢m going to hit the hayâ⬠because he does not know what it means. When the lady said to Chris that she was ââ¬Å"going to hit the hay.â⬠Christopher was confused as she was not clear about what she was saying and it was like an alien language to him. Christopher does not like similes or metaphors, as he believes that they are lies and the lady was talking using a metaphor. As Christopher helps himself by using graphics and emoticons and he takes everything literally, he experiences difficulty in understanding what people are saying and interpreting their emotions. The community and itsââ¬â¢ people handicap others without understanding the outcome. An officer is interrogating Christopher and he says, ââ¬Å"You seem very upset about this.â⬠Christopher thinks to himself, he was asking too many questions and he was asking them too quickly. They were stacking up on my head like loaves at the factory where Uncle Terry works. It is obvious that Christopher has not been given enough time to process the given information. The officer only wants answers, he is not concerned about the stress that he is putting Christopher though and this causes Chris to not cope as well as he potentially could have. Christopher went onto a train and he did not know that there were toilets on trains and he said, ââ¬Å"And then I wanted to go for a wee but I leaked a bit and wet my trousers. And the policeman looked at me and said, ââ¬Å"oh, Christ, youââ¬â¢veâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬ It is obvious that the officer is only looking at Christopherââ¬â¢s age and not pa ying attention to his predicament. Both of the officers did not attempt to understand Christopherââ¬â¢s feelings and his problems, rather, they thought deductively and blamed Christopher for not behaving as any ââ¬Ënormalââ¬â¢ person would have and this is how the community and itsââ¬â¢ people handicap others without understanding the outcome. It is obvious from the evidence above that the theme of ââ¬Å"sometimes people are born with disabilities, but its communities that handicap themâ⬠is true as Christopher faces many challenging situations yet the community was not there to help him, rather, they handicapped him even more than he already was.
