How did Seamus Heaney incorporate Old English poetry elements in this modern translation?

2 answers:

8 0

Heaney incorporates Old English poetry elements in his modern translation through punctuation. In Old English poetry, one often used half-lines. This means that each line of poetry was split into two half-lines, and in each of these half-lines there were two strongly stressed words, often with the purpose of giving musicality to the poem. Heaney follows this half-line pattern in his modern translation.

The metamorphosis is considered one of the first stories written in which genre of literature

Furkat [3]

Answer:

a.Magical realism

Explanation:

The metamorphosis is a novel that involves different themes as the absurdity of life, alienation, and satire or dark humor. We can put the novel in a very specific movement called "Modernism" in the late 19th and early 20th century. In this literary movement we can find this piece of literature in the "absurdist fiction", when we talk about "absurdist fiction" we find the main problem that Kafka uses in the metamorphosis: the study of human behavior under certain circumstances that are purposeless or absurd as we see the character of Gregor Samsa fighting with himself as he became an insect. This "absurdism" is a type of fiction and we can include this story in the gender of Magical realism because it's the closest one with the absurdist fiction. Because of this, it is not in nonfiction and not in science fiction because it is considered a novel it is not epic poetry. Finally, magical realism it's a very new concept in literature and it's more associated with Latin American literature, for this reason, but we can put Kafka's work in this genre.
