this is so excellent! thank you for helping us to understand the poem; I was floundering when I attempted to read it on my own. thanks, professor! very glad I found this.
Fun Fact, in his English translation of Baudelaire's Les Litanies de Satan, Richard Howard uses "Have pity on my sore distress" for the French "Ô Satan, prends pitié de ma longue misère!"
Noticed three things after my 2nd watch-through here. First, mostly mechanical, I hope the idea of actually paying attention to the rhymes helps the rest of the Anglophone world. There are far, far too many people who completely ignore Kipling's rhymes and mispronounce the surname "Din." In Eliot's "The Wasteland," one of the misleading footnotes, "A phenomenon which I have often noticed," hides the heavy symbolism of "a dead sound" coming from the bell of Saint Mary Woolnoth. But what really startled me was the comparison of the use of prayer in Christabel and MacBeth, contrasted with how it's used in Othello. In that latter play, the fact that both Othello and Desdemona can and do engage in pious, honest prayer during the murder scene reinforces so hideously the fact that she is innocent of any wrongdoing, and he is utterly convinced of the righteousness of the vile slaying he is about to do. It really ramps the tragedy, up to the point where I'm with the other scholars who say Othello is far and away the cruelest tragedy Shakespeare ever wrote.
Hello mam Thankyou so much for the videos you upload here I am so grateful to you These explanations have really helped me understand the topic And in true sense am enjoying reading literary works since i come across your channel Thankyou once again 🌼
Thank you so much mam for this wonderful explanatory video 💐 One humble request I want to make.. could you please make some videos on works of Indian English Literature also. That would be very much helpful.
Good afternoon ma'am, As I was going through the poem on my own, I couldn't help but wonder whether this guardian spirit of Christabel's mother watching over Christabel was a direct or indirect reference to Pope's Ariel, guardian spirit of Bellinda. Also, I remembered the critical outcry made by Hardy in Tess of the D'Urbervilles of Tess being unprotected, her guardian angels turning a deaf ear to her screams. I think it was Pope's idea of a spirit watching over young maidens that was used by Coleridge in this poem, which in turn was reused again in the victorian novel by Hardy. Am I right? Aditi Mukherjee

Definitely, you can mention it in your answers too. The idea that young women need protection is a long standing patriarchal stand
Yes, ma'am. The "Knight in Shining Armour" is also I think the idea that Coleridge has used in the absentee charecter of Christabel's fiancee.
