Talk:Ennui (sonnet)

POV
I just tagged this article as WP:POV because even though the analysis portion does cite sources, albeit incorrectly, it only cites the most glowing reviews. I would scrap the whole section, but I wanted to see if any senior Wikipedians could weigh in on the issue and offer advice or simply a hand in fixing the article.

interesting
I cannot argue your POV claim. The sonnet is still too relatively unknown. There are few reviews and opinions available to begin discussion with. Since it is protected by copyright, I posted a link to the final draft at blackbird, and a link to Bainbridge's blog about it from 2006, referencing the comments of his blog-readers.

There is only one openly dissenting comment, from "Casselle" who dubs it "Overwrought Juvenalia", yet this sounds as if the comment was made by someone overcome by their own ennui, projecting their own disdain for themselves onto the dead for their failure to entertain or resolve. Eventually, Sylvia Plath resolved her problems. I wonder if Casselle will?

Maybe with access to additional information (like being able to read the sonnet), and a little inflamation, some discussion can be started.208.252.48.158 (talk) 16:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I paused to reflect and I figured it out. Casselle is voicing bathos, and criticising only in mockery. How could I be so dense? (practice, man, practice)208.252.48.158 (talk) 16:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
