Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 15 AIL 1408 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Sonnet Seventy-Three as an Exam Passage
Captions available
The idea
Three parallel quatrains offering a season, a day and a dying fire, with the intervals shortening, then a couplet drawing a consequence. No turn to find. A candidate expecting a volta in every sonnet would hunt for something that is not there.
In practice
No turn, three parallel images.
Where people slip
Do not hunt for a missing volta.
