  • As we read, I want you to do two things:
    1. Identify how this narrative poem follows the biblical arc of 
      • Creation - how does the narrative reflect the goodness, harmony, society of the Garden
      • Fall - who/what is/are the agent(s) of sin/temptation? What act plunges creation into the curse? What are the effects of this sin?
      • Redemption - who/what is/are the agent(s) of redemption? Why? What are the immediate effects?
      • Restoration - who/what is restored? Is there a change in the protagonist? In the hearer of this tale?
    2. Identify how this poem portrays various romantic obsessions
