Karten in diesem Stapel (7)
- 1Whilst Joyce exposesthe paralysis of Dublin as an obstructive force, Heaney's perspective is one of hope, that the fear and paralysis preventing Northern Irelands independence can be overcome
- 2Heaney's humanistic valuesare reflected through his retropective "Blackberry picking" that rejoices in the spirit of Irish optimism and hope, despite the challenges and disappointment caused by the turmoil of "The Troubles"
- 3Heaney's exploration of sensual MEMORIESunderly the first stanza to reinforce his celebration of Irish traditions & the Irish people's inextricable connections to the land, evident through his utilisation of sentience and colour
- 4The sensory imagery"sweet flesh .... thickened wine; summer's blood" evokes a visceral response through his portrayal of his strong bond to Ireland
- 5Heaney's use of free versethroughout the second stanza creates a sense of despair, associated with the violence of "The Troubles" through decay imagery, their "hands peppered with thorn pricks" and "rat grey fungus" emphasising his blunt message of war's destructive impact on Irish life
- 6However, the repetitive notionof "blackberry picking" conveys Heaney's humanistic values, the worth of the indivdual and need for independence, "each year I'd hope they'd keep, knew they would not"; a vivid insight into his enduring sense of hope which contrasts Joyce's portrayal of dejection
- 7Heaney’s perspective of hope and peacewas shaped by the need to overthrow British colonialism but also his fears of the accompanying destructive sectarian and political violence , reinforcing our understanding that Heaney’s contextual concerns have influenced his representation of Irish life.
