treatment for what you have yet the lack of scientific discovery is displayed.
Contextually influenced by contemporary society, Edson has imbued these
influences within the text. Through an implementation in storyline and
characters, Edson has represented the idea of discovery such that the audience
develops a much greater understanding about the discovery, cancer research,
and its significance in saving the lives of those who suffer from it. As such, the
influences of both authors contexts represent discovery in their works in such a
way that it is understood to a much greater degree, and its significance is
highlighted.
To all you Year 12 students, the influence of an Elizabethan context and a modern
context are both able to depict similar ideas, in a different manner, which leads
to a subsequent deeper appreciation of those. Before we conclude, are there any
other questions relating to this module? Well then, on behalf of The University of
Sydney, I would like to thank you for attending the English Advanced Lecture on
Module A here at the University of Sydney HSC Study Day. We wish you all the
best in your future endeavours. Thank You.
literal obviousness, both texts through different ways of representation show that
death is a universal human concern which transcends time.
Individuals change their perception about relationships after a sea change.
Relationships are created for various reasons, it can be chance, need and love.
Why do we interact with other people? Does our relationship ever change? In a
secular society through rational thinking we judge the need for relationships. In
the play W;t Vivian believes that she does not need to make any connections
with the rest of the society. Edson through her clever use of flashbacks she
characterises Vivian. In Vivians flashback as a scholar, Edson shows Vivians
isolation from the rest of the society as she avoids Professor Ashfords advice to
enjoy yourself with your friends. Furthermore Vivians isolation is also a result
of her own eager. In Vivians metatheatrical dialogues she is constantly lecturing
the audiences. However as I mentioned earlier Vivian changes her perception
about death at the end. It is through this sea-change she changes her perception
about relationships. Edson through her unique use of wit shows Vivians
realisation of the importance of relationships, she needs someone to care about
her. Do not think for a minute that anyone calls me sweet heart! But then I
allowed. Through the dramatic representation Edson illustrates the change of
Vivians perspective about relationship after the acknowledging the great fear of
death.
Similarly in John Donnes poetry his relationship with God changes after a seachange. During the medieval time, religion plays an important role in individuals
lives. People believe that it is important to have a good relationship with God.
After the death of Donnes wife he started writing sonnets to express his
desperation to enhance his relationship with God. However in Donnes early
poetry he explores love being the most important thing in the world. The
Petrarchan style shes all states, and all princes I emphasises the importance
of love. However towards Donnes death he realises the need to build up a
connection with God, to reinforce his relationship with God. In If poisonous
minerals, and if that tree, Donne uses the octave to set up his argument by
revealing objective views, lecherous goats and serpents envious. Through
the sestet Donne reveals his own sin and begs for forgiveness from God in order
to achieve salvation. Ultimately, despite of different contexts both authors with
their great use of techniques explore the change of perception about
relationships which help to enhance our understanding of each text.
Subsequently, I strongly believe that the post-modern play W;t and John Donnes
metaphysical poems through their dramatic representation and poetic
techniques respectively demonstrate humans concern about mortality death
and relationships.
To conclude my speech, I would like to share this quote with you. Despite of
different times, eras and contexts, humans concern about mortality, death and
relationships never changed.
Thank you.
