I leave the flowery path for aye
Of childhood, where I sported many a day.
Warbling and sauntering carelessly along;
Where every face was innocent and gay,
Each vale romantic, tuneful every tounge,
Sweet, wild, and artless all.

Love is in the Air
It seems my guessing of Valancourt's and Emily's affection for each other was not unfounded. Valancourt becomes a suitor to Emily after her father's death, but he met heavy opposition from Emily's guardian Madame Cheron. Would you agree with Madame Cheron's motive of at first denying Valancourt, but then changing her mind? Surely earning Emily wealth and position is the best for her right? After all, would she not become exhalted in the family because of it? Or, do you agree with Emily's thoughts of her affections with Valancourt and calling her guardian's judgement unfair? Discuss if you so wish on this subject.

what are the poems in each chapter talking about.?im not getting the gist of them.,hard to understand.:/
ReplyDeleteI do not agree at all with Madam Cherons decisions of denying Valancourt because he wasn't wealthy. Emily should be allowed to marry whomever she likes no matter the wealth and status of her suitor. And wealth and position, I don't think, are truly what is best for Emily. The kind of soul she has isn't after wealth, but true happiness.

ReplyDeleteThe poems are difficult to understand because the people that wrote them seem to be using old english. At least the ones by Shakespear are.
ReplyDeleteThis is where the book becomes interesting! There is a love tie! but of course the relationship must be torn apart first. oh so predictable
