Unrequited Love; a one sided love (Literary devices (Irony (Context shapes…

- - - - Billy Budd, Sailor by Herman Melville
        
        Billy Budd and Claggart
        
        The narrator and Billy Budd
        
        The narrator spends a lot of time mentioning Billy's appearance. it is unclear whether Billy knows who the narrator is. This makes the narrators fascination of Billy very one sided.
        
        The two have an unusual relationship with one another. They don't share the same feelings in taking care of their relationship.
        
        Melville's narrative is often read as a queer narrative. The way the story is presented represents the characters in a romantic way.
        
        Repressed sexual desire
        
        Expressed well in Douglas Mitchell's D2L Posting, "The narration is often fanciful regarding the manner in which Budd is described by Claggart and Cpt. Vere."
      - Heathcliff and Catherine's relationship
        
        Heathcliff wants to be with only Catherine, but Catherine does not feel the same. She loves other men too.
        
        Their relationship is not meant to work for the purpose of the author's narrative. If the two characters lived happily ever after, the narrative would not have the same effect as it does under the category of a romantic tragedy.
  - - - Blanche longing for self-love and control over herself
        
        Bernie Anes Paz describes in D2L Posting Blanche's lack of control,"We see Blanche slowly lose herself to her desires over the course of the play, but then at the end, when she is raped, those desires are twisted against her," (Paz).
        
        She is in battle with herself. On one hand she wants to be happy and free, but she does not allow herself the ability or strength to make good choices.

        "sonnet of the hot flushes" by Antjie Krog
        
        "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot
        
        Unrequited love towards world; forces are against the speaker
        
        The speakers connection with unrequited love towards the world is seen within Eliot's use of metaphors.
        
        Does not want what her body is forcing on her
        
        Krog uses both metaphors and similes in addition to irony and graphic imagery to describe the conflict between the speaker and body.

        The Volta
        
        The couplet
        
        Always unsatisfied with the choice he didn't make
        
        Imagery is used here. His descriptions reveal that the speaker is aware he is sharing this with someone else.
      - Two people with two different understandings/wants
        
        Donne's poem is heavy with figurative language, more so in metaphors.
    - - Atwood's use of a simile enhances the idea of the two objects being highly unfitting.
- - - - A comparison without the use of "like" or "as"
    - - A comparison that uses the terms "like" or "as"
