The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an “objective correlative”; in other words, a set of objects

, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion; such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked. If you examine any of Shakespeare’s more successful tragedies, you will find this exact equivalence; you will find that the state of mind of Lady Macbeth walking in her sleep has been communicated to you by a skilful accumulation of imagined sensory impressions; the words of Macbeth on hearing of his wife’s death strike us as if, given the sequence of events, these words were automatically released by the last event in the series. The artistic “inevitability” lies in this complete adequacy of the external to the emotion; and this is precisely what is deficient in Hamlet. Hamlet (the man) is dominated by an emotion which is inexpressible, because it is in excess of the facts as they appear. And the supposed identity of Hamlet with his author is genuine to this point: that Hamlet’s bafflement at the absence of objective equivalent to his feelings is a prolongation of the bafflement of his creator in the face of his artistic problem. Hamlet is up against the difficulty that his disgust is occasioned by his mother, but that his mother is not an adequate equivalent for it; his disgust envelops and exceeds her. It is thus a feeling which he cannot understand; he cannot objectify it, and it therefore remains to poison life and obstruct action. None of the possible actions can satisfy it; and nothing that Shakespeare can do with the plot can express Hamlet for him. And it must be noticed that the very nature of the données of the problem precludes objective equivalence. To have heightened the criminality of Gertrude would have been to provide the formula for a totally different emotion in Hamlet; it is just because her character is so negative and insignificant that she arouses in Hamlet the feeling which she is incapable of representing.

Which literary work was NOT written in the 17th century ???
Makovka662 [10]

The answer to this question is <em> Homage to Mistress Bradstreet. </em>This is a long poem written by John Berryman in 1948-1953 and later published in 1956. The other works, such as <em>To My Dear and Loving Husband, </em>  was written by Anne Bradstreet in the 17th century; she was the first female poet who published her works, she was a remarkable figure in American history, specailly because she was a highly educated woman who did not miss the chance to express their thoughts regarding the role of a puritan woman in the 17th century.

<em>Of Plymouth plantation </em>was written by William Bradford, Ann´s husband,who was a remarkable figure in the Colony of Plymouth, a book written in the 17th century as well.  And finally, <em>A key into the languages of America, </em>is a description of some of the native languages written by Roger Williams in the same century.

6. After reading the poem "Trophic Cascade," how does the poem's structure support the message that "nature is all connected?"
Mariana [72]

Thirty-one enjambed lines of Camille T. Dungy's free-verse poem "Trophic Cascade" describe the speaker's experience becoming a mother. She likens the achievement in her life to the American Yellowstone National Park's reintroduction of gray wolves.

Dungy believes that there are many parallels between the rebirth of an ecosystem and giving birth to a new human being through her use of fruitful denotative and connotative language as well as comparison imagery conveyed through metaphor and simile. Because nature and humans are interrelated and intertwined, the speaker stresses the significance of treating nature with the same respect as one would a helpless baby.

In conclusion, Camille T. Dungy's "Trophic Cascade" is a marvel of nature poetry that, using a range of literary and poetic styles, compares the life-changing experience of motherhood to the creation of an ecosystem and demonstrates how both must coexist in harmony to maintain each other's fragility. Dungy skillfully disproves the patriarchal notion that a man's toughness is superior by showing that a woman is just as powerful as nature itself, just as capable of growth as a renewed environment, and just as capable of accomplishing as much as a hungry predator.
