    • @quonkylops
      @quonkylops 3 роки тому +3

      I use 24h time (curiously almost everyone else in America doesn't!) so it didn't strike me as something particularly odd. When I thought about it more, I thought this would give some insight into the next sentence for what our character could be doing; people usually work at this time of day, so we expect WS is probably at Victory Hall on business. However, like another commenter said, it is too big a detail to overlook. I also didn't interpret 13 as ominous, but rather just unlucky, which made me think WS is almost angry at the bad weather conditions, because they're in his way at the moment and he might otherwise not care.

  • @Ulrike29
    @Ulrike29 3 роки тому +130

    Something I find very interesting is personal perception while reading. It makes bookclubs so much more fun too as you can compare other peoples interpretations. I think seeing 13h00 as military time is something that can change depending on where you are from. For example, I live in Belgium and here most digital clock use the 24-hour system instead of the 12-hour one. We wouldn't call it 'Military time' or see it as related to the military. To make such a connection we would first need to research the author's background.
    I love how you connect '13' to bad luck and that kind of ominous feeling, I totally agree. It definitely set the tone for the rest of the story.

    • @TheSpanishNotebook
      @TheSpanishNotebook Місяць тому +1

      That's exactly what I thought. I have lived in the UK for a very long time but I'm Spanish and for me 13:00 is not military, it's one in the afternoon. It makes it easier and less confusing. And not having to say every time "am" or "pm". I used it many times but sometimes I feel rebelious and I'd say 14.30 😆 Not in a million years here could I get used to "stones" for weight or ft and inch for hight. I'll always ❤ you metric system!

  • @01real1
    @01real1 2 роки тому +21

    1:45 - 2:01 - In the EU, we have 24h time. The clocks at 13 o'clock, of course, don't strike 13 - but one.
    However, I wouldn't notice that detail from the beginning of the novel if you haven't pointed out.

I went to a terrible school and the words "literary" and "analysis" were never even mentioned. I want to learn more and be able to do more in-depth analyses of classic literature instead of simple summaries and prevalent themes. If anyone has any advice for a beginner it would be much appreciated.

  • @discojee5331
    @discojee5331 4 роки тому +86

    I noticed that you say it's just observation, but you're not just observing the book, because you talk about 13 being an unlucky number which I would say is a part of a certain culture, and not just from the book, so you are observing the book and the culture its from. do you have any advice on how to analyse a book from a different culture than your own (whether it's a different country, or maybe even a different subculture in your own country) without necessarily knowing the cultural things like that? Great video btw.

    • @englishnerd5580
      @englishnerd5580  4 роки тому +30

      That’s true, and a good catch! You shouldn’t assume all cultures are like your own. When in doubt, check. Or just stick to undeniable facts, like a repeated metaphor in the story. Build from there. Stories from other times and cultures can require a little more work.

      @beepbeepcasucha 3 роки тому +2

      Do background work. Classics transcend time and place, but the art scenes in different places and in different places do often influence a writer's work. I suggest:
      1. Read a little abt author's life/time period in which they wrote the book.
      2. If you can find anything significant, like author was questioned for supposed communist activity/activism/they're from a culture that is v patriotic, traditional, focused on nationalism etc read up about whatever it is.
      3.if all else fails, look for articles, critic pieces, youtube videos talking about the piece.

    "Good literary analysis is observation"
    What if you have no idea what you're looking at, or looking for? LIke the analysis you went into about the number 13, being an unlucky number, or an indicator that it's military time? Or Smith being a common name? Winston being a reference to Winston Churchill? With these combining to make a normal person with potential?

      To be honest, I haven’t heard of that term, but he basics of any kind of analysis begin in the same place. The better you get at observation, the better your analysis will be. Good luck!

      I thought this too, but in another comment I read that it would be a strange detail to overlook (for the record, I interpreted it as providing context for what Winston could be doing at Victory Hall; because it's 1pm he's most likely on work business)

    What if I am analyzing a book like 'Ulysses', and I haven't memorized or thoroughly analyzed Hamlet, or all of Irish history? In the beginning, for example, Mulligan is described as having an "equine" face and his hair is like "pale oak". If you don't know anything about Troy, or haven't yet read 'The Odyssey' or 'The Iliad, then how can I possibly understand what I'm reading?

    • @englishnerd5580
      @englishnerd5580  8 місяців тому +1

      Ulysses is famously difficult, with layers. Anybody tackling analysis of that book should be familiar with the Odyssey, then simply make observations, just as you would for any other work. Unravel what’s literally happening first. Asking questions will lead you to meaningful conclusions. No one can understand *everything* about Ulysses without years of study. With the right mindset, that’s part of the fun. There’s always more 😁

    • @GreggMikulla
      @GreggMikulla 8 місяців тому

      @englishnerd5580 thank you. I read it last year and am now tackling it with a guidebook, and also preceded by re-reads of Hamlet and Portrait Of The Artist...there is just so much that one must know beforehand. Just one more question - have you analyzed much of Faulkner? I'm reading Light In August, and wanted to know if you find it/the author difficult.

    Given that George Orwell was British, he would not have been thinking about “military time”. That is just time told on a 24 hour clock. Clearly, clocks that strike are analogue and there is no “13”,

    Goal: Your task is to write and present a literary analysis/study of

    Role: You are a young professor of literature.
    You have been
    tasked by the head of the Department of
    English and Comparative Literature in your
    university to write a literary analysis of a
    narrative text using the formalist approach,
    which will be presented in the university's
    literature symposium.
    Audience: The target audience is the
    university's administrative
    officers, deans, faculty members, and
    students, including very important guests.
    Can someone help me with this?🥺
