1
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:20,600
Okay, good morning everybody. How are you today? I

2
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,540
don't see many students coming today to the class.

3
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:28,510
I know it is because of the midterm exam. And this

4
00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:31,590
is a pity because we said several times, when

5
00:00:31,590 --> 00:00:34,190
there is a midterm exam, you cannot absent

6
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:40,310
yourself from class. Anyway, today's class will be

7
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:44,510
like this. We're going, as usual, to listen to a

8
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:49,690
couple of reports. Then we are going to debate

9
00:00:49,690 --> 00:00:55,200
about the interpretation, the several or the

10
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,600
several possible interpretations of the tiger.

11
00:01:01,180 --> 00:01:05,840
And, you know, we're going to debate. If there is

12
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,060
like, if we finish with a debate, it would be a

13
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:17,340
nice idea. Okay? So let's start. Let's see who is

14
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:19,020
reporting today. Yes, please.

15
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,260
Good morning.

16
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:35,020
It was a shock for the student when Dr. Akram

17
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:37,380
asked for all students daily reports. But it

18
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:39,620
wasn't like that for me because I always write my

19
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:41,980
reports. Many students start writing their reports

20
00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:45,220
in lecture, so teacher didn't accept them.

21
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:48,040
According to the Tiger, it was really a little bit

22
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,680
difficult, but it needs more analysis and

23
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,260
explanation. And actually this time wasn't Dr.

24
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,120
Akram who explained it, but it was Mr. Ahlam, Mrs.

25
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,280
Ahlam. It was a nice and clear explanation,

26
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:05,640
although we didn't share a lot. Oh, I forgot to

27
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,400
say that Dr. Akram read the poem in a nice way,

28
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,180
and then commented that Mr. Ahlam's explanation

29
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:16,700
was nice, and that it reminded him of the best

30
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:20,200
days when she was his student. Yes. Thank you very

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,620
much. Another report. Yes, Khawla.

32
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,140
It was the lecture of the poem, Which I Like, The

33
00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:38,040
Tiger, by William Blake. Ms. Ahlam attended the

34
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,360
lecture and she did her presentation in a nice

35
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,780
way. I like her thinking of some words in the

36
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:48,740
poem, but before that Dr. Akram asked each student

37
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:52,880
wrote a report to submit it to him. Unfortunately,

38
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,920
I didn't write for that lecture. After that, some

39
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:59,740
students read their reports and Dr. Akram started

40
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:02,220
the lecture by some analysis for the poem. In

41
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:04,220
addition to that, Dr. Akram shared Ms. Ahlam with

42
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:07,240
her presentation. Ms. Ahlam focused in his

43
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,880
analysis on the words and the words and its

44
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,020
reflects. So Dr. Akram said that he will continue

45
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:17,520
the whole poem in more details next lecture. So I

46
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,980
didn't forget to write my report. Okay, thank you

47
00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:26,720
very much. In fact, last time Ms. Ahlan conducted

48
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,580
what is called deconstruction

49
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:36,280
or deconstructive analysis. She used a theory

50
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,280
called the theory of deconstruction. She was

51
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,660
looking about the binaries, like the opposites,

52
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,160
like the mild and the violent. you know, the

53
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,680
strong and the weak, the mighty and the

54
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,700
vulnerable, you know, the sublime and the

55
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,980
beautiful. So it was a good insight into the poem.

56
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:04,000
And I think it was appropriate because it was

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,610
suitable for, I mean, the philosophy of Blake

58
00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:12,210
himself, because Blake didn't see life in black

59
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:15,790
and white. He saw it like he didn't see them like

60
00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:21,650
contrasting, but he saw them complementary. And in

61
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:27,050
the marriage between earth and heaven, like he saw

62
00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:29,830
evil and good going side by side.

63
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,740
Today we're going to have another look. And most

64
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:38,480
of the critics, when they want, because this poem

65
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,720
is symbolic. It is full of rhetorical questions.

66
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,880
What immortal hand? What the hand? What the

67
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,080
shoulders? What is the place? So all, you know,

68
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:57,420
the questions were concentrated on

69
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:03,330
like the act of making, the act of creating, the

70
00:05:03,330 --> 00:05:08,510
act of forming. And that act involved two things.

71
00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:13,410
It involved power, physical power, that involved

72
00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:18,990
also an eye, an artistic skill. So because he was

73
00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:24,310
asking about what the art, what the eye. In fact,

74
00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:29,000
the poem became a little bit confusing As I said,

75
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,180
some critics said it was about the Industrial

76
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:37,480
Revolution. Other critics said it was about the

77
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760
French Revolution or the American Revolution

78
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,000
because it was the age of revolutions. Other

79
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,370
thought that it was a poetic It was a revolution

80
00:05:52,370 --> 00:06:00,070
against the rules and the poetic restrictions of

81
00:06:00,070 --> 00:06:04,550
the Neoclassical. So in both, in all these cases,

82
00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:09,410
we find that it is about revolution. Now I want to

83
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:12,930
start, because we are supposed to debate, And I

84
00:06:12,930 --> 00:06:15,050
was going to take the side of revolution, so I

85
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:20,410
prepared some videos to show you how England was

86
00:06:20,410 --> 00:06:24,830
like during the

87
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:30,730
Industrial Revolution. How the life, you know, of

88
00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:36,170
the countryside, how it changed, how everything

89
00:06:36,170 --> 00:06:41,690
was transformed. And how the countryside lost its

90
00:06:41,690 --> 00:06:49,150
purity because of mechanization, how the social

91
00:06:49,150 --> 00:06:56,070
arena was transformed. So it had its dire

92
00:06:56,070 --> 00:07:00,350
consequences. And even the farms were enclosed

93
00:07:00,350 --> 00:07:07,910
because everything was was important in terms of

94
00:07:07,910 --> 00:07:13,350
materialism. So the farms, the landscape lost its

95
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:17,030
vast nature because it was open. Now it is

96
00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:20,510
partitioned because they were interested in

97
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:25,910
grazing animals and raising profits. So the

98
00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:31,630
countryside lost its beauty. And, you know,

99
00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:35,670
mechanization was there. So let's see some videos

100
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:40,790
and hopefully you see how was England like.

101
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:41,560
This is how the

102
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:43,200
English countryside transformed.

103
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,080
of animals in a distant realm of church bells bore

104
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,200
the stories of romance here. Yemen was a land of

105
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,260
great social inequality. A handful of aristocrats

106
00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:05,620
and rulers possessed by right of birth nearly all

107
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:08,380
of the incredible wealth it yielded. They built

108
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:11,520
magnificent palaces for themselves and filled them

109
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,000
with treasure. Down in a group of slower classes,

110
00:09:15,540 --> 00:09:18,700
most of whom owned no land, struggled to survive.

111
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:24,990
These poor people sometimes faced severe

112
00:09:24,990 --> 00:09:29,570
malnutrition and even starvation. They usually

113
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:34,350
died young. With this as a background, let us find

114
00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:37,130
out what great changes were to occur as a result

115
00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:38,230
of industrialization.

116
00:09:40,770 --> 00:09:43,770
The first industrial revolution began in England

117
00:09:43,770 --> 00:09:47,690
for several reasons. First, she possessed rich

118
00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:51,530
deposits of iron and coal, resources essential to

119
00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:55,390
industrialization. Second, England had many

120
00:09:55,390 --> 00:10:00,010
reliable sources of water power. And third,

121
00:10:00,430 --> 00:10:02,770
numerous colonies around the world supplied her

122
00:10:02,770 --> 00:10:07,330
with abundant raw materials, like this cotton. And

123
00:10:07,330 --> 00:10:08,730
at the same time, it provided

124
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:22,360
Okay. So as you see, just I want to show you how

125
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,240
England was. As you see, industrial revolution was

126
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,320
indispensable. Industrial revolution was there

127
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,080
because of the labor, was the raw material from

128
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,240
the colonies, mainly America. So they started to

129
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,260
industrialize or to invent machines and those

130
00:10:44,260 --> 00:10:47,640
machines, and necessary for industry, changed the

131
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,460
face, the social arena, the political arena,

132
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:57,000
everything. And England became like a plant or a

133
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,320
factory producing, working for the world. And with

134
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,860
these emergent values, like the countryside lost

135
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:11,610
its purity, you know, and it was seen like a

136
00:11:11,610 --> 00:11:14,130
monster because, you know, machine replaced man,

137
00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:17,510
children were abused, women were abused, like,

138
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:21,610
because they were working in factories, even like,

139
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:26,530
you know, slums, dirty slums were created, and a

140
00:11:26,530 --> 00:11:30,870
lot of crimes even happened. So Blake wrote that

141
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:35,150
poem, and some critics thought it was about the

142
00:11:35,150 --> 00:11:38,510
Industrial Revolution. Others, as I said, thought

143
00:11:38,510 --> 00:11:42,610
it was about the

144
00:11:42,610 --> 00:11:46,530
creation of poetry. So we are going to have the

145
00:11:46,530 --> 00:11:50,330
poem in front of us and now to debate whether it

146
00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:54,670
is about industrial revolution and whether about

147
00:11:54,670 --> 00:12:00,670
like poetic imagination. So let's see quickly who

148
00:12:00,670 --> 00:12:02,490
wants to be, like Amal, do you want to be on this

149
00:12:02,490 --> 00:12:08,710
side? This is the industrial revolution. Okay,

150
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:12,530
Hidayat, do you want to be in this side? I can

151
00:12:12,530 --> 00:12:17,910
help both. Yes, I encourage more students. What do

152
00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:21,470
you want, which side? The industrial. Okay, the

153
00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:26,130
industrial, you come here. Poetry. Poetry, you

154
00:12:26,130 --> 00:12:29,370
come here. So have some chairs.

155
00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:50,350
Okay, yes. Who will join these people?

156
00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:59,210
Yes. Why are you scared? I'm going to help. Both.

157
00:13:00,870 --> 00:13:05,070
Okay. Who wants to come to this side? What is it

158
00:13:05,070 --> 00:13:11,650
about? It is about poetic creation? Okay, what do

159
00:13:11,650 --> 00:13:13,830
you think? Let's start.

160
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:23,280
If you want, like, I'm going to help both of you.

161
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,480
Like here, if you look at the word frame, frame

162
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,020
has to do with what? Frame, to shape, to design.

163
00:13:34,420 --> 00:13:40,400
Make has to do with what? Create. Okay. If you

164
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,880
want to look at art, okay, the word art would

165
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,700
support, you know, those who think it is about

166
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:51,590
art. But the word chain and the word horror, the

167
00:13:51,590 --> 00:13:56,170
word hammer would support the Industrial

168
00:13:56,170 --> 00:14:00,950
Revolution. So you have a lot of evidence in the

169
00:14:00,950 --> 00:14:06,950
poem to support either side. So let's start by

170
00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:13,980
this group. What do you think? First of all, first

171
00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:16,920
time I read the poem, I thought like it was about

172
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,980
like two contradictory things, like evil and good.

173
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:25,040
And this, like always we have in a human soul. And

174
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,240
so, and like human were so taken by the industrial

175
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
revolution. And so there was like the evil part of

176
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,080
them. So he's like, I think he's saying that the

177
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,020
industrial revolution is like, A monster. A

178
00:14:42,020 --> 00:14:44,720
monster that's taking over the human soul. Okay,

179
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:47,520
and I do agree with her because, you know, here

180
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,900
the tiger is presented to us not like an animal,

181
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:56,180
an ordinary animal, but rather as a monster, you

182
00:14:56,180 --> 00:15:00,340
know, frightening the people. What do you want to

183
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:07,210
say? No, I didn't think because Because he means

184
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:13,130
the positive things and sides in what you said.

185
00:15:13,690 --> 00:15:16,750
For example, burning bright. I think it is

186
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:21,250
something attractive. Excellent, yes. And fearful

187
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:21,790
symmetry.

188
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:24,970
Okay,

189
00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:38,170
I do agree with her, like it's very interesting

190
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:41,110
because here In fact, it was yesterday that I

191
00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:45,410
realized we have another oxymoron here. Because

192
00:15:45,410 --> 00:15:48,870
burning bright, burning, it is something negative.

193
00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:52,530
But bright, bright, it means something positive.

194
00:15:52,930 --> 00:15:55,190
So when we are talking about something bright,

195
00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:58,870
something dissipating the darkness, because if we

196
00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:03,010
have the first of the night, which is darkness and

197
00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:12,580
bright, then it is positive. Symmetry. So poetry

198
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:17,100
is an act of symmetry, isn't it? This is what you

199
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:21,560
want to say. And poetry, because poetry, you know,

200
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,460
sometimes, look, some revolutions were supported

201
00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:29,100
by poetry. I think, you know, the Egyptian

202
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:30,820
Revolution, if you remember, like they were

203
00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:33,760
sitting in Tahrir Square and they were chanting,

204
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,880
you know, poetic things. And those poetic, you

205
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,260
know, lines gave power to the revolution. So

206
00:16:42,260 --> 00:16:47,360
nobody can ignore the power of poetry in inciting

207
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,500
people. provoking people, giving them this

208
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:56,260
momentum. So it is seen by Blake here, the poetry,

209
00:16:56,420 --> 00:17:00,060
the power of poetry is like the power of this

210
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:02,080
light, which is burning in the forest of the

211
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
night. So here, if you want, and this is, I think

212
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,420
she's talking about the darkness. Darkness is

213
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:11,880
associated with political injustice, with

214
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,690
political despotism. And poetry, you know,

215
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:22,210
imagination, the poetic revolution, or the power

216
00:17:22,210 --> 00:17:27,230
of poetry can be a protest against this. Can it

217
00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:30,650
change? Because poetry has this power to change.

218
00:17:31,490 --> 00:17:37,330
Okay? I want to say about Marilyn Monroe.like the

219
00:17:37,330 --> 00:17:41,070
idea of fuel like burning fuel to get energy and

220
00:17:41,070 --> 00:17:44,410
to machines and so they design new things like the

221
00:17:44,410 --> 00:17:48,960
cement fearful symmetry, like design something

222
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,880
beautiful. And like the, of night, like they

223
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,760
working unstoppable. Like they always work, work.

224
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,860
So it's like the idea of industrial revolution.

225
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:00,100
Yeah, she began by saying that the tiger stands

226
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:02,800
for evil, the making of evil. So we can say that

227
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,980
the tiger could stand for the machines as being

228
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:09,920
the evil thing. And the burning is the burning of

229
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,120
the machines and stuff like that. So, but why are

230
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,380
the machines like evil? Like the question is why?

231
00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:19,450
Ah, they replaced people. Okay. Do you have any

232
00:18:19,450 --> 00:18:21,970
evidence like in the poem which shows that the

233
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:26,210
poet was complaining that this is evil? Evil

234
00:18:26,210 --> 00:18:28,730
creature? This is evil creature?

235
00:18:31,730 --> 00:18:34,510
Okay. Do you have any evidence like this? Of

236
00:18:34,510 --> 00:18:39,990
course, the words like fearful and who used to be

237
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:41,390
night? Night?

238
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080
So they think, you know, light is good, it's a

239
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,500
place for romanticism. It's like the word

240
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,340
immortal, supernatural power, it's something that

241
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:55,260
makes you fear or scared.

242
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,060
Yes, go ahead. No, I think the tiger here, okay it

243
00:19:08,060 --> 00:19:13,120
is fearful because it is when anything new appear

244
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:16,140
for people, they will be scared and fear and avoid

245
00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:21,060
it. But when they come close to it and analyze it

246
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:24,960
and deal with it, they will be familiar and love

247
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,160
it. Like there, his poet and his style of writing

248
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,680
is new, So, like, people is dependent and familiar

249
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,120
with other parts of style of writing, but when

250
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,140
they become close and know what is this writing

251
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:46,160
about, they will love it and will be... So, they

252
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,820
can change their mind? Yes, yes. And you think

253
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:52,480
this is like, you know, similar to this symmetry

254
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,910
and like, you know? Yes. And he also... It's kind

255
00:19:56,910 --> 00:20:02,390
of a tiger, his shoulder, his eyes. I think it's a

256
00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:08,130
responsible thing or something you know. So with

257
00:20:08,130 --> 00:20:11,190
the creation, you mean? Yes. Yes? What do you want

258
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:16,410
to say? This poem, I think, is about two themes,

259
00:20:16,550 --> 00:20:20,770
nature and the industrial revolution. Nature is...

260
00:20:20,770 --> 00:20:23,130
So you are betraying, like, you're helping them,

261
00:20:23,270 --> 00:20:25,230
you know? No, I'm not helping them, but it is

262
00:20:25,230 --> 00:20:27,950
obvious. I mean, it is used... You can come here.

263
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:33,170
Okay, who can replace her? No, I'm an objective.

264
00:20:33,550 --> 00:20:39,250
Okay. Okay. Now it is it is logical that William

265
00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:43,130
Blake was born in the first on the beginning in

266
00:20:43,130 --> 00:20:46,110
the beginnings of the industrial revolution. So it

267
00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:48,970
was the theme of their lives. I mean, ordinary

268
00:20:48,970 --> 00:20:51,330
people in their daily speeches, they were talking

269
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:54,490
about this revolution. So it was he was motivated

270
00:20:54,490 --> 00:20:59,890
by this theme, but As a romantic poet, he chose a

271
00:20:59,890 --> 00:21:02,470
figure of nature, the tiger. The tiger is a very

272
00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:07,310
beautiful animal. He tried to explain to clear the

273
00:21:07,310 --> 00:21:12,230
idea about him and taking it as a symbol of this

274
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:18,070
industrial revolution. Blake wasn't trying to

275
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:23,730
express something instantly about this industry,

276
00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:31,710
but he was I guess dealing with this tiger issue,

277
00:21:32,430 --> 00:21:38,970
but being affected by this revolution. You cannot

278
00:21:38,970 --> 00:21:42,950
make up your mind. I think if you look at the

279
00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:46,740
poet, or if you look at all the questions, They

280
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:51,480
were about the process of creation. He asked about

281
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,280
the hand, the shoulder, so it was about the

282
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,120
creation. Now the question is, does the creation

283
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:01,460
of poetry require this effort?

284
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:08,190
It's spontaneous.

285
00:22:10,590 --> 00:22:14,050
And the assumption is like poetry, you know, just

286
00:22:14,050 --> 00:22:17,490
like poets write poetry without feeling the pain

287
00:22:17,490 --> 00:22:21,750
and the experience. What do you want to say? Okay.

288
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:25,230
I mean, why would you say effort? Yeah, but like-

289
00:22:25,230 --> 00:22:27,570
Why would you say effort? Because, you know, they

290
00:22:27,570 --> 00:22:31,450
need to- I don't see effort being blamed here,

291
00:22:31,530 --> 00:22:35,410
because he's being, he has been spontaneous, he

292
00:22:35,410 --> 00:22:38,330
has been just himself, he's a real poet. But like,

293
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:43,570
I think, you know, we are not honest to our, you

294
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:48,070
know, honest to words worth definition of poetry,

295
00:22:48,090 --> 00:22:51,760
when he said poetry is a spontaneous overflow, of

296
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,700
powerful feelings recollected in tranquility. And

297
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:59,560
here, when you say recollected in tranquility, it

298
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,980
means like the writing of poetry needs hard work.

299
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,720
It's not easy. You keep changing. It is

300
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,300
spontaneous. But what is spontaneous? It is not

301
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:13,080
the act of writing poetry. It is not the act of

302
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,380
saying poetry. It is the feeling which is

303
00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:21,180
spontaneous. So I think, you know, poetry involves

304
00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:25,960
craftsmanship. And sometimes poets suffer, fret,

305
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,440
in order to, you know, produce this poem. It is

306
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,720
not easy. Anyone can express his emotion, but not

307
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,040
in a poetic way. Yeah, not in a poetic way,

308
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,540
because, you know, if you want to be a poet, you

309
00:23:39,540 --> 00:23:46,290
need like to fret more and more. Okay, yes. It

310
00:23:46,290 --> 00:23:49,470
seems like the students are unprepared today, you

311
00:23:49,470 --> 00:23:53,310
know. It is because you are having exam. But let

312
00:23:53,310 --> 00:23:58,690
me, when he complains, like, what red hand, what

313
00:23:58,690 --> 00:24:03,890
red feet? Like, when their heart began here.

314
00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:09,050
Like, when he said,

315
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,640
When the stars know what shoulder, yes. And when

316
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,260
their heart began to beat, what red hand, what red

317
00:24:19,260 --> 00:24:22,840
feet? Do you think, you know here, this

318
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,900
questioning involves any fascination? Like fearful

319
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:31,760
symmetry? Like burning bright? What red hand, what

320
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,060
red feet? I think here, he's complaining. What

321
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,120
dread hand, dread hand, or dread feet? This is

322
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,900
very frightening. This is very scary. Isn't it?

323
00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:48,000
Yeah, but no, I think, you know, questioning here,

324
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:51,420
what dread hand, what dread feet? Like he's, you

325
00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:57,780
know, I mean, the tiger is seen as a monster here.

326
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,510
It is like a mythological creature. You see? It is

327
00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:07,270
not like any animal. Wadded hand, wadded feet. So

328
00:25:07,270 --> 00:25:10,230
I think, you know, this shows a complaint that it

329
00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:13,710
was about industrial revolution. And look here,

330
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:17,910
the hole, the hammer, the furnace. It is like a

331
00:25:17,910 --> 00:25:23,580
goldsmith. I'm sorry, I'm not helping you. No, I

332
00:25:23,580 --> 00:25:28,280
want to say that yes, it is about industrial

333
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,180
revolution. It's the time of industrial

334
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:34,520
revolution, but because he wants to make a poetic

335
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,740
revolution, he cannot say it is directly. So he

336
00:25:37,740 --> 00:25:41,980
wants to use this means in a very symbolic way.

337
00:25:42,150 --> 00:25:45,630
Even if he speaks about the industrial revolution,

338
00:25:45,950 --> 00:25:54,970
he wants to convey something other. So I think you

339
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:57,410
know what you might think also because this is an

340
00:25:57,410 --> 00:26:00,290
open debate in fact. I'm not going to close it

341
00:26:00,290 --> 00:26:03,070
today. It's an open debate. I want you to think

342
00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:06,410
further about this. Is it about poetic

343
00:26:06,410 --> 00:26:09,790
imagination? Or is it about industrial revolution?

344
00:26:10,130 --> 00:26:13,830
And this is what I want you to research. So I want

345
00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:18,770
to close this debate. It is part of an assignment

346
00:26:18,770 --> 00:26:20,950
I'm giving you, and we'll talk about this

347
00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:25,330
assignment later. It might be a supplement to your

348
00:26:25,330 --> 00:26:28,850
midterm exam, which I'm going to give you in a

349
00:26:28,850 --> 00:26:33,080
minute. So I would like to thank both teams for

350
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,320
sharing with me and we'll see next time we're

351
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,860
going like to continue. Thank you very much.
