Hey Liam, I’m writing from TURKEY 🇹🇷. This video was so useful for my homework that ı can not explain it. Normally ı can never watch lecture videos, but ı can watch your video many timess. You explained everything very well. Thanks to you I understand it very well. And I have never met a someone who is teaching as well as you. You’re perfecttttt :) take care
Hello from rainy England! Thank you SO MUCH for your kind comments - I'm really happy to hear that my videos are able to help you out so much! Good luck with your studies, and please stay safe in these times! 😊😊😊
I wonder about them too - not because I think they are pathetic, but because I want to know what I can do to make my videos more enjoyable, helpful, and generally likeable!
There's certainly a celebration of beauty but almost a disappointment that he realizes it as a mystery towards her personality, but I'm not convinced by the continued assumption of the passivity believed to be inherent in women during the time. It seems almost fake to say she possesses this superposition of light and dark, then only mentions a narrative where she's graceful, soft but mysterious. I don't this "mystery" is the good enough opposite of grace. Very good way of talking about himself by talking about other people's appearance without considering their needs much.
Either Sonnet 43 (if I wanted to compare the conventional ways love is presented in s43 to the unconventional way it is presented in SWiB) or Valentine (comparing and contrasting depictions of unconventional love in poetry across the ages). Hope that helps!
Hmmm - I'd probably focus on the strong emotions they express, and the targets of those emotions (e.g. love or lust for a beautiful woman in SWiB vs adoration for and alienation from nature in, say, The Prelude). Both use nature imagery to convey these emotions, so that might be somewhere I'd look first?
When you were talking about the quote, 'Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies' you said it was unconventional as other poets associated beauty with the day and then mentioned the Shakespeare quote 'should I compare thee to a summer's day' could this be used to gain marks in the AO3 context section
Thank you so much for this informative video. I would like to include your analysis in my short seminar paper. Would you please tell me how I should credit you in my work?
Okay, so I think it would be (I've not used MLA before, but I've done a quick google!): "Analysing Lord Byron's 'She Walks in Beauty' FULL ANALYSIS - DystopiaJunkie Analysis" RUclips (that should be in italics!), uploaded by DystopiaJunkie, 6 September 2019, (and then the URL of the video). If you're making an in-text citation: ("Analysing Lord Byron's 'She Walks in Beauty' FULL ANALYSIS - DystopiaJunkie Analysis," and then the time stamp of the times you're referring to, e.g. 00:02:00-00:03:30 if you're referring to the content from 2 minutes in and three and a half minutes in.) Hope that helps?
However, could you also say that the semantic field of purity suggests that he desired the innocence and virginity of his cousin's wife, as he was known as a womanizer? So perhaps more lustful and not love? Could you therefore also compare it to Sonnet 43, saying that Sonnet 43 is true love, whereas She Walks In Beauty is more lustful?
I'm afraid not - I think the exam board only sells them to exam centres (schools), rather than to the public. You can find a pdf online quite easily (I just googled "wjec eduqas poetry anthology pdf" and the first result was a pdf from the exam board website - it's called "The Manhunt" but it's the whole anthology). Do you think you could print this off?
In an exam would they give you a question saying how is love presented or how is beauty presented in this poem because I’m not really sure on what to write for an exam style question
They could do! For love - does Byron place more of an emphasis on this woman's appearance, or her personality? If you think it's her appearance, then love could be quite shallow in this poem! For beauty - What does Byron compare the woman's beauty to? Is this a 'traditional' (or cliched) way to to talk about beauty? I hope those questions help to give you some ideas! This is one of the trickier poems!!
DystopiaJunkie DystopiaJunkie Damn u reply faster than my snaps lol. But seriously thanks for the quick reply And wouldn’t It be balanced because he talks about both so love is quite deep in the poem ?? Also his views on beauty is unconventional soo ??? Thanks for the help!!
You always seem to catch me at a good time! You're right that he does talk about both, but does he talk about one more than the other? Does he emphasise certain qualities? Yep, fairly unconventional views on beauty - what from his life (have a look at the content section again) might have inspired that?
DystopiaJunkie lmaooo thanks again Errr yeah it’s more physical and he emphasises that beauty with light and dark beauty ? He got his unconventional brows from the exclusive clubs he joined ?
Hi Rusma - please check out my 'The Build-Up to the 2020 GCSE Exams' video. In it, I go over what videos I'll be making between now and the summer exams! 😊
Hi Lucy - I've just had a quick look at Shakespeare's poem, and here are some things that jump out to me: 1 - Both poets compare their love-objects to the night. In Shakespeare's poem, this seems to be a negative thing ('hell'), yet in Byron's, it seems to instead suggest mystery and beauty. 2 - Form. Sonnet 147 is (surprisingly!) a sonnet: a very personal and intimate poetic form. Byron's poem, as mentioned in this video, could be seen as a bit more performative (and so perhaps the love is a bit less genuine). 3 - Tone. Love in S147 is like an illness, sickness, or disease. Although this is negative, it also shows intense infatuation (or obsession - Shakespeare loves this person so much that it consumes his entire being). Byron's poem is more positive in its tone, although my interpretation is that it is focused more on the woman's appearance - is Byron really in love? Those are some quick ideas - I haven't analysed S147 in loads of depth before, but I hope those ideas give you a nice starting point 😁
the poem: ☺️
Byron's context: 💀
INNIT 😭

Dear Liam, thanks for the great stuff. 👍
That's really useful and understandable

You're very welcome! :)
SO USEFUL!!!
I wonder about those pathetic people who clicked the dislike button 🙄
I wonder about them too - not because I think they are pathetic, but because I want to know what I can do to make my videos more enjoyable, helpful, and generally likeable!
@@DystopiaJunkie your videos are perfect . You're doing a great job. World needs more amazing people like you.
That's such a lovely comment - thank you so much! 😊😊😊

I like it and find helpful as I find helpful new English poetic genres Ziket and zinet.
HELP THE CONTEXT IS CRAAAZY WTH
Hi from mrs Adana class !!
Excellent!
What poem would you compare with this?
Either Sonnet 43 (if I wanted to compare the conventional ways love is presented in s43 to the unconventional way it is presented in SWiB) or Valentine (comparing and contrasting depictions of unconventional love in poetry across the ages).
Hope that helps!
@@DystopiaJunkie how would you compare this poem to the romantic era poems?
Hmmm - I'd probably focus on the strong emotions they express, and the targets of those emotions (e.g. love or lust for a beautiful woman in SWiB vs adoration for and alienation from nature in, say, The Prelude). Both use nature imagery to convey these emotions, so that might be somewhere I'd look first?
I love her so much

Great video
Thank you so much for this informative video. I would like to include your analysis in my short seminar paper. Would you please tell me how I should credit you in my work?
Oh wow, that's really exciting to hear! Are you using references? If so, which style?
@@DystopiaJunkie I'm using MLA style
Okay, so I think it would be (I've not used MLA before, but I've done a quick google!):
"Analysing Lord Byron's 'She Walks in Beauty' FULL ANALYSIS - DystopiaJunkie Analysis" RUclips (that should be in italics!), uploaded by DystopiaJunkie, 6 September 2019, (and then the URL of the video).

Yep, you could definitely argue that, and that uses context brilliantly too! And those two poems compare nicely too! 😊
It mentions heaven so could that be a link to religion in themes.
here we go again

Hey mr knight do you know where to purchase anthologies as I want a second one just to annotate properly
I'm afraid not - I think the exam board only sells them to exam centres (schools), rather than to the public. You can find a pdf online quite easily (I just googled "wjec eduqas poetry anthology pdf" and the first result was a pdf from the exam board website - it's called "The Manhunt" but it's the whole anthology). Do you think you could print this off?
Thanks a lot for the reply man, my class love your content man keep up the good work!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow so impressive 💖 😁
Can you please make video on dreams by dh lawrence
I need an explaination about beauty issue in this poem.
I'm not really sure what you mean - could you explain your question in more detail please?
In an exam would they give you a question saying how is love presented or how is beauty presented in this poem because I’m not really sure on what to write for an exam style question
They could do!
For love - does Byron place more of an emphasis on this woman's appearance, or her personality? If you think it's her appearance, then love could be quite shallow in this poem!

DystopiaJunkie lmaooo thanks again
Errr yeah it’s more physical and he emphasises that beauty with light and dark beauty ?
He got his unconventional brows from the exclusive clubs he joined ?
You could also consider that his sexuality was 'unconventional' for the time, and that his deformed foot might have altered his views on beauty too!

hi future me
