Dilemma

Dilemma Examples from Literature

Example 1

In the play Hamlet, William Shakespeare’s leading character, Hamlet, struggles with his dilemma how could he carry out the orders of his father’s ghost to kill his stepfather to exact revenge because he married to his mother, and usurped the throne of his father. Ophelia also faces dilemma in the play, as her brother and father believes that Hamlet is not faithful to her, and would rather use her, whereas her heart is convinced that Hamlet loves her. Both of them could not reconcile to the situation following this ethical dilemma they got entangled in.

Functions of Ad Hominem

A writer’s background is considered to be a very important factor when it comes to judging his work. A book written on a particular subject in history will be perceived differently keeping in view the background of the author. Therefore, it is important to understand that a writer’s traits and circumstances have a pivotal role to play in his feelings, thinking and the construction of his arguments.

To put it simply, the considerations regarding the use of ad hominem can explain certain arguments and the motives behind them better. Nevertheless, such considerations are not enough on their own to evaluate an individual’s opinion and are certainly not sufficient to disregard them as false or invalid. The fact is that ad hominem is a kind of fallacy that leaves a great impression on the audience’s mind. It is an argumentative flaw that is hard to spot in our daily life. Although, the personal attack that has been made on the opponent might not even have a speck of truth in it, it somehow makes the audience biased. Ironically, despite being flawed, ad hominem has an amazing power of persuasion.

The worst thing about using ad hominem purposely is that an opponent insults you publicly. Whenever this happens to you, you must recover from the humiliation and then point out the false connection in the argument, which was used a trap for the audience. Moreover, the dilemma with ad hominem is that once it has been used against you it smears your reputation. Once somebody makes such a judgmental argument about you, the audience instead of evaluating it on logical grounds take it to be true.

Free Verse

Example #2

Barely tolerated, living on the margin
In our technological society, we were always having to be rescued
On the brink of destruction, like heroines in Orlando Furioso
Before it was time to start all over again.
There would be thunder in the bushes, a rustling of coils,…….
The whole thing might not, in the end, be the only solution……..
Came plowing down the course, just to make sure everything was O.K.…

(Soonest Mended by John Ashbury)

This is one of the best examples of free verse poems. In this poem, there is no regular rhyme scheme and rhythm; it is without poetic constraints, but with a flow that gives it a natural touch.

 

Function of Free Verse

Free verse is commonly used in contemporary poetry. Some poets have taken this technique as a freedom from rhythm and rhyme because it changes the mind of people whimsically. Therefore, free verse is also called vers libre.

The best thing about free verse is that poets can imagine the forms of any sound through the intonations instead of meters. Free verse gives a greater freedom for choosing words and conveying their meanings to the audience. Since it depends upon patterned elements like sounds, phrases, sentences and words, it is free of artificiality of a typical poetic expression.

I have walked through tempests and through storms
I have seen the sun slide down the sky
I have heard wild winds  and I’ve heard calm

I have seen the sky when rainbows form
I have crunched through  leaves as down they lie
I have walked through tempests ,savage storms

I have watched the windblown leaves at dawn
I have seen black starlings whirling in the sky
I have heard wild winds  and I’ve known home

 

I have sketched the patterns nature’s drawn
I have pondered on   the ones called mine.
I have  fled through tempests and through storms

I have sauntered on  a fine green lawn
I have heard our politicians lie
I have  loved wild winds  and I’ve loved calm

I have watched the world from the storm’s eye
I have  seen  five thousand people cry
I have walked through tempests and through storms
I have  watched wild winds  and   wept forlorn

SP You talk about having a sense of reality and what an appropriate response to it may or may not be. I see video footage coming from around the world, attesting to the undeniable reality of suffering. More and more mediated suffering is available to us daily in our streams. It’s increasingly becoming part of a lived communication culture. Is this something you’re affected by?

AP Somewhere in his diaries, Franz Kafka says: “You can protect yourself from all the suffering in the world and that’s the one suffering you could have avoided.” That’s the point; there is all this suffering in the world and we know more and more about it. However, what it calls up in us to deal with, at its best, so to speak, is a kind of inured, detached horror. The sadomasochistic solution to this is to find it all incredibly exciting and gripping and to want more and more of it. That is a catastrophe created by a culture that makes suffering and exploitation bearable by making or cultivating a sadomasochistic pleasure.

What’s very difficult is to have a relatively un-evasive relationship to suffering. Were more people to have that, it might mobilize more realistic resources to deal with it. Suffering is intrinsic to life, but some suffering is avoidable. What seems to be pretty devastating is how much given suffering is absolutely there; how much suffering is actually created by us. It isn’t possible to create a world without suffering, but it is possible to make a world with less suffering. Instead, we are being invited to be excitedly horrified.

 

Silence is golden but my eyes knew you
Silence unfolded while the North wind blew
There’s only a slip twixt cup and tip
Rolling cones shattered the glass.
Two zany cooks can oil my broth.
A herd in the sand is no way in a rush.
On Sundays we  scratch an itch and eat our toast thinner
We went to see a Winter’s sale.I played well.I am an extract
They went to sea with no clip
Ted Hughes was a grate poet.He worked from home.
Larkin was a Siberian and  poet in a Hull.
Seamus Heaney liked half rhymes,someti,
Stevie Smith  lived in Harmer’s Scene with her ants
I love,says Anne.
Pick ass? Oh
Mon haystack, my mon amour.
Gaw Gann  lived here.
Roll clay? In balls?
Surreal? I appeal.
How do you feel?

She fauxfilled him with  finesse
She  knowed his bones.
She crenallated with him
She willed him with mindlessness.
She  grades his rates  for the witch where the going ones go to
She killed rats with her sulks.
She loved Jim like no other man on earth could.
She left him in her will.A bit later she died.
She had  hated wrath  all day
She took his lair off him
She was only his life
Oh, pass my wife.

The Social Contract is crumbling away
A little or   lot every day
Without full consent
Great Britain is rent
Into fragments  in all shades of grey.

 

Governments may appear to be strong
That kind of thinking is wrong
Without   social desire
They cannot aspire
To make us all feel we belong

Families fight over meals
And anguish becomes unconcealed
The sacramental table
Is being disabled
The social contract must be quickly re-sealed

Now we see the same sin everywhere
Trump  rides on the beast of despair
We were told to love strangers
By one  born in a manger
If he is here now,then nobody  cares

 

My doctor likes reading old books
About wild men who can kill with a look
But he is quite kind
Though a little undermined
By being governed by robbers and crooks

Yet there are some decent folk too
Who  mend  Britain with  U and HU
That is not strong enough
The cracks are extremely tough.
I’ll tell them to buy superglue.

“It’s not just a question of writing a letter: it also involves drawing, acquiring a sense of harmony and balance, with rounded forms,” Jouvent asserts. “There is an element of dancing when we write, a melody in the message, which adds emotion to the text. After all that’s why emoticons were invented, to restore a little emotion to text messages.”

Writing has always been seen as expressing our personality. In his books the historian Philippe Artières explained how doctors and detectives, in the late 19th and early 20th century, found signs of deviance among lunatics and delinquents, simply by examining the way they formed their letters. “With handwriting we come closer to the intimacy of the author,” Jouvent explains. “That’s why we are more powerfully moved by the manuscript of a poem by Verlaine than by the same work simply printed in a book. Each person’s hand is different: the gesture is charged with emotion, lending it a special charm.”

“Perhaps some of this opposition stems from a common misconception. Unlike other arts—and perhaps even other forms of writing—readers and writers alike often associate poetry with feeling, not technique. Part of this may stem from a misunderstanding of William Wordsworth’s famous definition of poetry, in which he begins, “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings. …” His wording encourages a reading in which poetry simply occurs and does so uncontrollably. If this is the part of the quotation that sticks with you, it’s no surprise that you might associate poetry more with emotional intensity and less with the how of its conveyance. But in the second half of that quotation, Wordsworth tempers his original statement: “… it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” Those unexpected and powerful feelings are actually being observed at a calming distance from that emotion.

More important, Wordsworth’s statement doesn’t acknowledge the structure that serves as a scaffolding for those feelings, a framework that makes a poem more than just cathartic release. It doesn’t acknowledge form. Why would it? For Wordsworth and his contemporaries 200 years ago, form was assumed. If a poem didn’t rhyme, readers could be sure it employed some sort of metrical scheme.

Associating poetry with feeling can seem very egalitarian because everyone has feelings. Although that’s true, not everyone is a poet, and the message of this model of art is actually exclusionary: it doesn’t offer an aspirant poet a pragmatic path forward because it hides the real work behind the scenes. What is an aspiring poet supposed to do in this model—feel harder?

I want to clarify that some of the best poets have qualities that can’t be practiced. It’s that ill-defined, hard-to-put-your-finger-on something that separates merely technically proficient writing from the work we call genius. Whether we have that spark is out of our hands, but we can have all the inspiration in the world, and it won’t matter if we can’t express it well. Setting aside romantic notions of poetry and dealing with the nitty-gritty of technique gives all of us the ability to improve our poetry. We all, with practice, might move others to feel something that we have felt or to see the world as we do. If we’ve got that spark, technique gives us a way to share it. For my money—mind you, I am a poet, so that’s not much—writing in form is one of the best ways for poets to practice technique.

 

Q – Quotations. Using the words of an expert, a thought leader or simply someone that isn’t you is a great way to build credibility and interest into your writing. Check out these ten expert tips for using quotations.

R – Read. Everyone who has ever given advice about better writing has said to read, and with good reason. Study more, struggle less.

S – Story. “We are creatures of story, and the process of changing one mind or the whole world must begin with “Once upon a time.”” – Jonathan Gottschall. People are enthralled and persuaded by stories. Even if you are writing a blog post or a case study, delve deeper and find the story. Think about emotional engagement, suspense and resolution.

T – Talk to people. Whether you are conducting a journalistic interview, or just down the pub with your friends, everything you hear forms part of what you write. Engage with people in the real world, listen to their ideas and be open to suggestions. You have to collate ideas, not just dispense them.
