Willa Cather: The eldest of seven children, Willa Cather was born in Back Creek Valley, Virginia in 1873. When Cather was nine years old, her family moved to rural Webster County, Nebraska. After a year and a half, the family resettled in the county seat of Red Cloud, where Cather lived until beginning her college studies at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1890. After her graduation in 1895, Cather worked as a journalist and teacher, living first in Pittsburgh and later in New York City. 

As one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century, Willa Cather was gifted in conveying an intimate understanding of her characters in relation to their personal and cultural environments—environments that often derived from Red Cloud. Engraved on her tombstone is this quotation from My Ántonia: “that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great.” Complex and brilliant, Willa Cather lives on through her many devoted readers.

Willa Cather is the author of 12 novels, 6 collections of short fiction, 2 editions of her book of poetry, April Twilights, and numerous works of nonfiction, collected journalism, speeches, and letters.

Women's History Month 

Kate Chopin (1850 - 1904), born Katherine O'Flaherty in St. Louis, Missouri on February 8, 1850, is considered one of the first feminist authors of the 20th century. She is often credited for introducing the modern feminist literary movement. Chopin was following a rather conventional path as a housewife until an unfortunate tragedy-- the untimely death of her husband-- altered the course of her life. She is best known for her novel The Awakening (1899), a hauntingly prescient tale of a woman unfulfilled by the mundane yet highly celebrated "feminine role," and her painful realization that the constraints of her gender blocked her ability to seek a more fulfilling life.

__________________________________________________________________

Class agenda for Tuesday, March 16th 

1. Quick write- Loyalty and Antigone 

2. Greek Chorus notes: 

Greek Chorus Structure: 

Greek choruses often express the fears and hopes of the ordinary citizens, while often also voicing judgment of the characters. 

1. Prologue: A monologue or dialogue preceding the entry of the chorus, which presents the tragedy's topic.
2. Parode/Parados (Entrance Ode): The entry chant of the chorus, often in an anapestic (short-short-long) marching rhythm (four feet per line). Generally, they remain on stage throughout the remainder of the play. Although they wear masks, their dancing is expressive, as conveyed by the hands, arms and body. Typically the parode and other choral odes involve the following parts, repeated in order several times:
3. Episode: There are several episodes (typically 3-5) in which one or two actors interact with the chorus. They are, at least in part, sung or chanted. Speeches and dialogue are typically iambic hexameter: six iambs (short-long) per line, but rhythmic anapests are also common. In lyric passages the meters are treated flexibly. Each episode is terminated by a stasimon:
4.  Stasimon (Stationary Song): A choral ode in which the chorus may comment on or react to         the preceding episode.

• Strophê (Turn): A stanza in which the chorus moves in one direction (toward the altar). Expresses a complete thought. Travels East to West. 
• Antistrophê (Counter-Turn): The following stanza, in which it moves in the opposite direction. The antistrophe is in the same meter as the strophe. Another complete thought. Chorus travels West to East. 
• Epode (After-Song): The epode is in a different, but related, meter to the strophe and antistrophe, and is chanted by the chorus standing still. The epode is often omitted, so there may be a series of strophe-antistrophe pairs without intervening epodes

        5. Exode/ Exodos (Exit Ode): The exit song of the chorus after the last episode

Homework for Thursday: 

1. Complete a close read of the Parados in Antigone. Consider how it responds to the prologue/first episode. Highly literary/figurative writing in contrast to episodes. 

Use the following questions to help guide your examination and analysis of the Parados... you will need to be able to do this independently. 

      1. What roles do the Gods play in the Parados/Stasimon? 

      2.  In what ways is it responding to what has just happened in the previous episode? 

      3.  How are the needs of the chorus members/citizens different from the characters in the episode?

      4.  What figurative language is being used and how? Metaphor? Similes? Personification? 

      5.  What is the Parados/Stasimon's major theme and/or argument? 

      6.  What other literary elements do you see and how are they being used? 

      7.  Structure: Can you determine the strophe? antistrophe? epode? Remember the concept 

        of the sonnet?  The quatrains/sestets/couplets? They derive from the Greek Chorus.

         Not only does the structure get fragmented, you will see the meaning shift. 

2. Submit initial post for grammar focus discussion.
