betrayal
THESIS:
GOL
general theme
CONTEXT Blake a dissenter, maybe feels betrayed by the church for ruining what religion is meant to be. "Thou Shalt Not" focus of church is restriction, imposing control over natural desires and wishes

-consistent rhyme scheme, no freedom
-getting rid of naturalness
-
-
-
ending
the last stanza contains lots of round and round imagery, providing a cyclical tone that things will continue being awful and not change.
fullstop is demonstrative of this, as it represents the finality of this church restriction
HOW IS BETRAYAL SHOWN?
HE IS BETRAYED BY CHURCH
religion is meant to be free and beautiful, garden of eden is paradise but human greed ruined it.
his innocence is also betrayed, he feels like this all came from nowhere "never had seen"
NATURE BETRAYED BY IND REV
beauty of nature destroyed physically, not just metaphorically by the industrial revolution, less freedom to be in nature and amongst colour because industrial revolution covered everything in smog and grey
THE SCRUTINY
general theme
narrator is angry when she does not want him to leave, even though him sleeping with her and leaving her would ruin her life
accusatory and misogynistic tone, tries to make it out that he is also leaving to help her- ignorant
CONTEXT cavalier poet meant he was writing for the court, perhaps he writes with this angry unpleasant tone to ridicule society's women, gender hypocrisy
Also this could be to gain status and show off to fellow like-minded men, "how stupid is this woman for wanting to stay with me"
ALTERNATIVE authorial purpose could be to highlight to the men the gender hypocrisy as he uses hyperbole to highlight the arrogance of narrator, "twelve tedious hours"
-
ending
he ends up saying he will come back to her, which we can hardly believe after he started this thesis working his way out of a promise he made to come back to her
he betrays her, by sleeping with her and leaving her he has ruined her life, she will be deemed sinful and he will be fine, he says she will benefit which is betraying the respect he had for her
HOW IS BETRAYAL SHOWN?
HE BETRAYS HER (modern audience)
he is rude to her, he says he will come back after already betraying a promise he made to her,
SHE BETRAYS HIM (contemporary audience)
to the rest of the victorian men who would read this poem, they would think she has betrayed him by not being complacent, she has betrayed the expectation he had that she would be perfectly happy sleeping with him and him leaving.
MYRTLE/TOM
-
HOW IS BETRAYAL SHOWN?
Myrtle ends up dead, Daisy is upset driving home because of the men in the novel, Tom and Gatsby, which ultimately leads to Myrtle's violent death after she ironically runs out for help from who she thought was Tom, her last thoughts would have been those of being betrayed by Tom
Tom betrays Daisy consistently, lying about her being christian, pinning the blame on her for the reason why Tom and Myrtle can't run away together
Tom promises Myrtle of marriage, running away together and caring for her, instead he hits her, hides her, and exploits her husband- so her income too
