Analyze Style

• Parallelism ~ with wind (4.4, 539) going back to (1.1, 31) and also in (2.3, 153)– Each section talking about how the wind is pushing them/forcing

them to do something

• Personification– (4.4, 476-477) “Let Nature crush the sides o’th’earth together

And mar the seeds within!” ~ Florizel – (4.4, 487-490) “The close earth wombs or the profound seas

hides In unknown fathoms” ~ Florizel

• Irony– (4.4, 652-653) “I see the play so lies That I must bear a part.”– (4.4, 578-579) “She is as forward of her breeding as She is

I’th’rear’ our birth.” ~ Florizel

Motifs

• Nature – Wind (4.4, 539)– ‘Nature’ (4.4, 476)

~ demonstrating how nature is a greater power, referencing beings/things greater then humans, kings, or princes

~ referencing Hierarchy again, how the gods, and nature control what happens to the kings, peasants, anyone; they are above all

Key Lines

• Florizel (4.4, 535-539): "Not any yet: But as th'unthought on accident is guilty To what we wildly do, so we profess Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and flies of every wind that blows."

• Perdita (4.4, 552-653): "I see the play so lies that I must bear a part“

• Camillo (540-543): "This follows, if you will not change your purpose But undergo this flight: make for Sicilia, And there present yourself and your fair princess- For so I see she must be-'fore Leontes."
