Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 18 AIL 1711 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Captions available
The idea
A society confident about its standards can mock departures from them, and a form built on balance can state a departure in one line. The couplet and the satirical purpose fit each other, which is a reading worth attributing rather than asserting.
In practice
Confidence, and a form that balances.
Where people slip
A reading, attributed as one.
