Lesson 4: Paradigmatic Analysis
Binary Oppositions (1)
|
Class assignment 1 (group work, done orally):
Read the lines below and fill in the table with binary oppositions based on their content.
JULIET:
Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day;
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierc'd the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree.
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
ROMEO:
It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east;
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live or stay and die.
(Romeo and Juliet III, v)
