Deconstruction- Eng 113Deconstruction: The Death or Rebirth of Criticism?

Throughout the history of critical analysis, debate has risen countless times to either improve the appeal of one style of criticism, or reject another outright. Some criticisms seek to build a structure of understandable motives and concrete meanings in the literature it studies, like formalism. Other more contemporary or esoteric criticisms, like psychoanalytical criticism, seek to unearth hidden meanings or symbolism in a piece of literature that may have been influenced by the authors past or upbringing. Among most all criticisms however, there is a certain understanding and nearly bl

BombadilWithin this turpentine vagrant dream;
He is the master of his fates, and perhaps
You will fill the call to him in his walled lands,
As he calls to you in song and dance.

Harkened the blade cut into a blue-gold sky,
Though not one of great help beyond the hedge.
The Great Eroder know not of his yellow, though He
May touch all else in blue steel grip.

Fertile is the ground at foot,
And strange be the world lived in,
If not known by else than Wood and Water,
Then by who else than the master?

She drifts in the lands unhindered yet,
By diction all recoded beings slip a glance
Because of all magnetism, the gaze is always

Love of Not Being AloneThe world is silent today.
This snow-capped debutant yells out with the passion and the fury of over a thousand human emotions inside of the crystalline confines of the universe.
Rings out over a span of great years with ears of many old men craning to hear that last syllable that spells out the humanity of all mankind in but three letters.
Its cry is not heard in the beastly vast peaks, and while it echoes off of the closed doors of all men turned away, we must not count out all.
It will ring with the violence of all wars and conflicts as if placed at once in a box and mixed with the furious mixture that is time and remors

This is an idea I got from a poem (?) called First Paragraph of Marcel Proust's "Swann's Way" (Translated from the French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff), Alphabetized published in The Iowa Review.
I thought it was an interesting idea, so I grabbed one of my favorite books and set to work. It took about an hour or so.

Shoot me, but I consider this a poem.
I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it is in pure definition, but I like the structure and how you can pull a massive amount of information simply by the words Bradbury wrote. You can catalog his writing style, deconstruct his diction, and observe some of his more poetic constructions. For example, I discovered that he had a ton of consonance in his original piece that I had never seen before. It's also interesting because you can get the vaguest sense of what these first few paragraphs are about with all of the action "burn" words, how all of the "he"s dictate how the piece is so personal, and the how the word "books" are set directly in the middle of a heap of fiery language. It's great.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.

Ah. I just finished reading that book a few weeks back.
This must of been hard to do ><

~LeftOfWrite Nov 13, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Not too much, I just picked up my copy, typed out the first four paragraphs (that first section describing Montag's love for book burning) and just did a ton of copy-pasta until this was born. XD It was really a bunch of fun.

I like it. I think you can get a good grasp of a person's thought pattern when people choose words at the top of their heads. I suppose it's like a psychological test in that respect. It invokes curiosity, and it's quite fun to keep up with when reading out loud!

~LeftOfWrite Nov 11, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Well, it's not quite an test, because that assumes results and a hypothesis, while I made this with very little direction in mind. I'm also not sure he was choosing words off of the top of his head: Bradbury is a brilliant writer.

I felt like this was all very deliberate, especially the way he sets up these four paragraphs in his book to reflect how the character is a man who enjoys the chaos of his work. It conveys his power in ways so direct it's shocking, but when it's broken down like this, the language is raw and bare and it's really neat to just pick it apart...

Interesting idea.

~LeftOfWrite Nov 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks! I'm going to read into it a little more because it's like this weird combination of author-author interaction. It's fun!

You're welcome. ^^
