Hope

oliviaricciardelli26 — 2024-04-17 19:43:52 UTC

Hope was but a timid friend;

She sat without the grated den,

Watching how my fate would tend,

Even as selfish-hearted men.

She was cruel in her fear;

Through the bars one dreary day,

I looked out to see her there,

And she turned her face away!

Like a false guard, false watch keeping,

Still in Strife, she whispered peace;

She would sing while I was weeping;

If I listened, she would cease.

False she was, and unrelenting;

When my last joys strewed the ground,

Even Sorrow saw, repenting,

Those sad relics scattered round;

Hope, whose whisper would have given

Balm to all my frenzied pain,

Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,

Went, and ne’er returned again

(Bronte, "Hope")

Ellen Nussey Quote

sukijunge26 — 2024-04-22 23:16:03 UTC

“Emily's reserve seemed impenetrable, yet she was intensely loveable;

she invited confidence in her moral power. Few people have the gift of

looking and smiling as she could look and smile. One of her rare

expressive looks was something to remember through life, there was such

a depth of soul and feeling, and yet such a shyness of revealing

herself. (179)” (quoted in O'Callaghan)

Ellen Nussey was a friend/aquantaince of Emily Brontë's and described how her solo nature led her to write incredibly empathetic peices.

Lines

sukijunge26 — 2024-04-22 23:30:08 UTC

"I die, but when the grave shall press
    The heart so long endeared to thee,
When earthly cares no more distress
    And earthly joys are nought to me,

Weep not, but think that I have passed
    Before thee o'er a sea of gloom,
Have anchored safe, and rest at last
    Where tears and mourning cannot come.

'Tis I should weep to leave thee here
On the dark ocean sailing drear,
With storms around and fears before,
And no kind light to point the shore.

But long or short though life may be,
'Tis nothing to eternity:
We part below to meet on high,
Where blissful ages never die." (Brontë, Lines)

Writing Style

oliviaricciardelli26 — 2024-04-23 00:16:53 UTC

Emily Bronte is known for her English literature. Her mother, and sisters death had an effect on her writing. Her grief allowed her to write about hope and emotion. She also mostly about her hometown. To take her mind away from reality, she had a great deal of fantasy poetry as well. A lot of her writing is poetic in a metaphorical way. For example, as already listed fantasy but also spirituality express a greater theme (Winifred).

Major Themes/ Topics

oliviaricciardelli26 — 2024-04-23 00:17:11 UTC

Brontë had few acquaintances, no friends, and no one who fully understood her. She never even fully expressed herself to her sisters. She was incredibly solitary. However, she still wrote about love and emotion. This emotion is shown through her poetry. Through her poetry, she shows her grief, love, and hope (O'Callaghan).

Sparkling Quotation: Olivia

According to Clifton Fadiman, Clifton Fadiman’s two-page assessment calls the book “one of the strangest novels ever written,” adding, “I have read it five times, and each time I have felt that I was in the grip of a nightmare that somehow made perfect sense.” It was unprecedented at the time and “has had few, if any, descendants.” He notes strong critical disagreements about its success, calls it a strange love story, compares it to an intense, inward-focused fairy tale (347), and says its theme may be “the immortality of a peculiarly intense passion” (348). Of the Brontë sisters, Fadiman thinks “Emily had the most burning imagination and the most powerful intellect” and calls her “wild, withdrawn, and proud,” the creator or characters “doomed by emotions larger and more terrible than most of us ever feel” (349) (qtd. in Evans).

Suki's Claim

Through her use of storytelling, Emily Brontë was able to evade her tragic reality, and explore an idealistic world with her two sisters as well as honor her hometown through her more realistic poetry.

Solitude

sukijunge26 — 2024-04-23 06:00:17 UTC

While not entirely alone, Brontë spent most of her time by herself, without many friends or family. Because of her time spent alone, her poetry surrounding her hometown and nature was able to flourish. Spending time alone also gave her the chance to focus on her fantasy world she was dreaming up with her sisters. (O'Callaghan)
