2 Wednesday, September 3 rd Today s Goals: Analyze the irony in Percy Shelley s poem Ozymandias. DO NOW: Read and annotate Percy Shelley s poem Ozymandias It is located in the anthology on p If you re having trouble with the anthology, use the PDF on HC.
3 New Note: Irony Verbal irony: a speaker says one thing but means another Drama$c irony: an event occurs whose significance the audience understands but the characters do not In Romeo and Juliet, the characters think that Juliet is dead but the audience knows she s not. Situa$onal irony: a reversal of expecta$ons in events
4 Is it ironic or not? It s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. Alanis Morisse[e s song Ironic Love your website! I am a s$ckler for grammar, punctua$on, and spelling; it s not hard to understand, yet some people s$ll don t get it. Glad your educa$ng others! I posted a youtube video about how boring and useless youtube is. The name of Britain s biggest dog was Tiny. The bu[er is as so^ as marble.

6 Ozymandias By Percy Bysshe Shelley ( ) I met a traveler from an an$que land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a sha[ered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. On A Stupendous Leg of Granite, Discovered Standing by Itself in the Deserts of Egypt, with the InscripAon Inserted Below By Horace Smith In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone, Stands a gigan$c Leg, which far off throws The only shadow that the Desert knows: "I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone, "The King of Kings; this mighty City shows "The wonders of my hand." The City's gone, Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose The site of this forgo[en Babylon. We wonder, and some Hunter may express Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace, He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess What powerful but unrecorded race Once dwelt in that annihilated place.
7 Ozymandias I met a traveler from an an$que land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a sha[ered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

23 Paraphrase vs. Analysis Text Paraphrase Analysis I WANDERED lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Flu[ering and dancing in the breeze. Con$nuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never- ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out- did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed- - and gazed- - but li[le thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For o^, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

26 In his poem Daffodils, William Wordsworth uses personifica$on to express how nature s beauty can upli^ the human spirit. The speaker at first describes himself as lonely (1), but his feelings change a^er he comes upon the field of daffodils, described as a crowd (3), a word typically only used to apply to a group of people. In fact, the flowers are not inanimate at all to the speaker. Instead of simply blowing in the breeze, the flowers are flu[ering and dancing much like a group of people might move as they celebrate a par$cular event or feel joyful (6). This idea is reiterated in the last line of the second stanza when the speaker sees the flowers tossing their heads in sprightly dance (12). Once again, the flowers seem to be celebra$ng as a group. Moreover, describing their dancing as sprightly further emphasizes their energy and liveliness. He realizes that a poet could not but be gay in such a jocund company (15-16). He notes that when he is in a vacant or pensive mood (20) he only needs to think of the daffodils and then [his] heart with pleasure fills (23). The speaker s solitude is not taken away just in that one moment, but in future moments as well, and the joy that he feels is genuine, highlighted by the word heart coming before pleasure in the line. Wordsworth uses personifica$on in his poem to help the reader understand that the speaker is comforted by the daffodils not simply because they are beau$ful, but because they are like friends. His memory stays with him, making him feel alive and joyful in his most solitary moments.
27 In his poem Daffodils, William Wordsworth uses personifica$on to grab the reader s a[en$on. The speaker at first describes himself as lonely (1), but his feelings change a^er he comes upon the field of daffodils, described as a crowd (3). The flowers are very lively, and instead of simply blowing in the breeze, the flowers are flu[ering and dancing (6). This image is repeated in the last line of the second stanza when the speaker sees the flowers tossing their heads in sprightly dance (12). The flowers appear to be dancing and the tops of the flowers in par$cular move in the wind. He realizes that a poet could not but be gay in such a jocund company (15-16). He notes that when he is in a vacant or pensive mood (20) he only needs to think of the daffodils and then [his] heart with pleasure fills (23). The speaker s solitude is not taken away just in that one moment, but in future moments as well. Wordsworth uses personifica$on in his poem to show that the speaker is excited by the daffodils because they move so beau$fully in the wind. The movement he describes is unusual to see, so the reader is truly engaged.

32 What is a SATIRE? An aiack on or criacism of any stupidity or vice in the form of scathing humor, or a criaque of what the author sees as dangerous religious, poliacal, moral, or social standards. Interes-ng fact: Sa$re became an especially popular technique used during the Enlightenment (late 17 th and 18 th centuries) An ar$st could correct folly by using art as a mirror to reflect society. When people saw their faults magnified in a distorted reflec$on, they could see how ridiculous their behavior was. Today: The Simpsons and televised comedies like The Daily Show
33 What are some techniques used in satire? Parody: An imita$on of a par$cular format Irony: Situa$ons or events that convey a reality different or opposite to what it ini$ally appears Understatement: inten$onally making something seem less important Hyperbole: exaggera$on Sarcasm Humor Grotesque: crea$ng a tension between laughter and horror or revulsion
34 Types of Satire: Horatian vs. Juvenalian Juvenalian saare: Typically social, poli$cal or religion topics Dark and not typically very funny Addresses social evil through scorn, fury and ridicule Tone is typically pessimis$c, sarcas$c, angry, resenxul Examples: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis HoraAan saare: Clever, wi[y, humorous, light- hearted Example: Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen shows the ignorance of the people in the 18 th century, par$cularly in their views of marriage and rela$onships), The Importance of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde)
35 Satire and a Sense of Humor Are humor and seriousness mutually exclusive? Can something be simultaneously serious and funny? How do you know when something is funny?
