I think it’s valuable to investigate how the book makes the reader feel, and your attention to this subject is good. I think your idea could use some more support from the text. The quotes you have included are relevant and exemplify your topic, but require more context, especially the poem quote. It would be interesting to look into the relationship between these two ideas and the potential parallels. They both present intangibility and a sense of an endless/limitless abyss while evoking different emotions. I think you have an interesting concept to work with here, but I think there is more analysis to be done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274352584233527500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381608294018617.post-40846518596052795022014-04-11T19:36:24.359-04:002014-04-11T19:36:24.359-04:00What I like here is that you are trying to make us...What I like here is that you are trying to make us think seriously about the ongoing, serious attention the novel pays to love. Drawing our attention to that feeling (or our response to that feeling) is a good starting point - but a starting point isn't yet an argument. What you really needed her was a clearer *argument* about the role of love in the novel, and why we should pay more attention to it. Starting out with passages is good; explaining why they matter, or how we should read them, is better.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302919444091859459noreply@blogger.com
