prairiedaun Apr. 10th, 2005 01:35 pm)I just have to write up my own thoughts on wyrd, and I'm done. Thankfully, I should be able to blather on about this for a while, so it's good. I feel bad- I'm quoting people like crazy here, but I am having original thoughts, and putting in my own interpretations.
The conclusions will be all me. Oh, and a small quote from Jacob Grimm. And C. Tidmarsh Major,but that's only because he used a really cool metaphor that I wish to exploit.
After this I need to reread all of the poems we read, to make sure they're fresh in the mind for when we have to identify and situate the poems tomorrow. And make sure I remember what's going on in them. And I should also refresh myself on Anglo Saxon culture for those questions... and ponder for a while about the shift from paganism to Christianity and how that is reflected on the feelings of otherness. And figure out where the hell the bond between lord and thane, and the sense of fatalism fit into everything.
*sigh* And I still have to get started on studying for History of Linguistics. And work on my Stylistics project at some point.
