    Edgar Allan Poe is extremely unlikely to have written "William Wilson." I have strong evidence showing that Poe falsely claimed "The Raven," which had actually been written by Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. When Poe scooped "The Raven" by two days in his own paper, the NY "Evening Mirror," he made a couple of minor revisions, and one of them was to replace, in the 9th stanza, "sublunary being" with "living human being." But the word "sublunary" was one of Mathew's pet fancy words, which he used in 28 different pieces during his career. The only story I can find in Poe's legacy with the word "sublunary" is "William Wilson." But Poe was a sociopath and a massive plagiarist, while "William Wilson" is a heavily moralistic story about remorse. Such a person couldn't possibly have written this story, although it, too, would be quite plausible for Mathew's pen. I don't have evidence proving that--but I definitely have more than enough evidence proving that Poe stole "The Raven" from Mathew. My paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," can be downloaded from the following link, or it can be read by searching for the paper's title in Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven.pdf

    Can someone tell me why the chrysanthemums are important to Henry and the Peddler aka the tinker. What do the chrysanthemums represent to these characters?

    • @EnglishTeacherMcDorman
      @EnglishTeacherMcDorman 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Think of the flower as a symbolic representation of femininity. The tinker only appreciates her femininity in a superficial way... so he can get what he wants from her.

    Thank you for the analysis and commentary you gave here on the Chrysanthemums. You pulled a lot out of this that is very insightful. You discussed important concepts in the story and then used them as parallels in real life. Awesome. I am in college and we were given this Steinbeck story for an assignment. I enjoyed listening to your lecture. Thank you

    • @EnglishTeacherMcDorman
      @EnglishTeacherMcDorman 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not super familiar with Faustus in its entirety, but I think you could focus on Tom's foolishness. Washington Irving is borrowing German folklore to create American folklore (perhaps even commenting on the Fauatian bargain that America is making with industrialization). Sorry if this isn't super helpful. 🤷
