A ppt to learn first generation of romantic poets: Wordsworth
Poet is a man speaking to men, he is the comunicator and he talks about ordinary things of ordinary people in simple language. He wrote LYRICAL BALLADS, the Manifesto of English Romantic poets.
They were not imiting classic but they were original.
They choose ordinary subjects and simply language.
Poetry is a spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions and  emotions were recollected in tranquillity.

In Wordsworth's poems nature has different role: nature as countriside, as sourche of ispiration and as a life force.
He was born in Lake District an area of supreme natural beauty.

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—

No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

THEMES
-Death
-Solitude
-Love
He talks about romantic love, it is like his last words, because he knows that he is dying.

My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun; Read by Alan Rickman

# data[].attributes.body
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Literature for me it's a great collection of a lot of texts, poems, stories written by autors of different periods. They talk about the thinking of their times and they are useful for the reader to understand thoughts, opinions, that can be good, bad, new but really they are very old. The sentece "Literature is the art of discovering something exstraordinary about ordinary people.." I think that resume my thought, because it represents the real meaning of literature. All the writers talk about something, and they made it legendary using only simple words.

The film talks about young Shakespeare. He didns't have the inspiration for a new tradegy, He was looking to find this when he met Viola, a girl who loved theatre but she couldn't act because she was a girl. They fell in love in a party like the scene of Romeo and Jiuliet, and there was also the scene of the balcony.  I loved that scenes for the paralellism with his tragedy Romeo and Juliet. I also liked the clip when the Queen left the time to say goodbye at Viola's love, Shakespeare.
In that time the Theater was for everyone, not only for rich people.  It was made by wood. The playhouses had a rectangular stage. The company worked at the same play for long time before acted that in front audience like today.

This is my favourite scene. Victor brings Elizabeth back to life. He stitches Elizabeth's head on intact body, and he re-animated his love. After that he tries to make her remember the moments spent together. Dancing, she remembers some moments with him. It's my favorite scene because Victor despite the first monster he created, he revives his beloved. Maybe if he had loved his first creation, he would not have become a killer.

Then arrives the monster, and they fight for Elizabeth's affections, but Elizabeth, horrified by what she has become, commits suicide by setting herself on fire. In my opinion, although he wanted to create life, and defeat death, the result was contrary. Life is not science or experiments, but love.

SO WE'LL GO NO MORE A ROVING
So, we'll go no more a roving

So late into the night,

Though the heart be still as loving,

And the moon be still as bright.

For the sword outwears its sheath,

And the soul wears out the breast,

And the heart must pause to breathe,

And love itself have rest.

Though the night was made for loving,

And the day returns too soon,

Yet we'll go no more a roving

By the light of the moon.

Lord Byron wrote "So We'll Go No More a Roving" at twenty-nine years old, he deicided to stop loving because of his difficult life, his trouble. He was ill, tired and messy. He was young when he decides to stop "roving", although "the night was made for loving" (verse 9). I think that he had guilty feelings beacause of his actions and this work is a statement of this. it is like a new beginning in the right way, the transition from the darkness of night to the light of the day.

Two contrary states of mind, opposite point of view.
Prophetic books.
Important role of imagination: beyond reality.
SONG OF INNOCENCE: THE LAMB
Positive side
Poet (like a pastor) talks about who made the lamb. 2 stanzas, idea of creation "he is called by your name" turning point:agnello=Dio
the space symbolized the innocence= mead,stream
THEMES: innocence, church, symbol
STYLE: slow rhythm, repetition, emphasis on creation.
SONG OF EXPERIENCE:THE TYGER
Negative side
Is the same creator of the lamb?
Why the lamb is sweet and the tyger is strong?
it revives old myth like Prometheus who stole the fire "what the hand dare seize the fire?"(verse 8)
Creation of evil and good.
STYLE: fast rhythm, repetitions of verse and alliterations.
