 | | Set in contrast to the initial pagan elements of the opening of Lycidas, Milton begins mixing in Christian figures and ideas as a means of expressing his belief in the superiority of his faith over the older religions of pagan cultures. | | | Drawing on the ancient pagan beliefs and mythologies that gave birth to the earliest forms of the pastoral, Lycidas becomes a forum for Milton to present his own fears and then reassure both others and himself that life is not a futile exercise. | | | This message of eternal life and infinite bliss serves its purpose well, since the narrator tells his dead friend that, "Now, Lycidas, the shepherds weep no more" and that he will be remembered as a guardian spirit of the shore near where he died (182-3). |

| | Not only is the identity of "the clear spirit" unclear--does it refer to the swain, to Lycidas, neither, or both?--but the sentence is torn between empathy for the (presumably human) spirit and "Fame," which is the first noun but not human unless it is personified, which is also unclear. | | | Not only is "Lycidas" what Walter Schindler calls "a polyphony of voices," but a polyphony of subjects as well (37; cf. | | | Since "young swain" echoes the uncouth swain's "young Lycidas," the shared concern with youthful mortality seems to make the digression more cohesive with the main text. |

| | In the case of Scheherazade alluded to earlier, the narratee is a temperamental and autocratic overlord who has infinite control over the life of the narrator. | | | There is an element of superstition in this elegy as it draws on the a lot of popular beliefs about the bristleness of the prodigal son and the necessity to provide them with care. | | | The story of Scheherazade highlights this aspect: "Scheherazade must exercise her talent as a storyteller or die, for as long as she is able to retain the attention of the caliph with her stories, she will not be executed." But is this apparent reversal of roles typical? |

| | In most investigative texts 'interpretation' and 'the answer' are far from the same thing." | | | "Lycidas inserts itself into 'Western' textual history and cultural norms in a similar way: elegy's fictions envelop the bare facts of loss and we are faced with coexistences of the mythic and the real, the past and the present. | | | Thus the sentence structure of 'Lycidas' provides an irreducibly plural text with multiple speakers, subjects, and meanings, accurately representing the complexity of human consciousness and the gap between human understanding and God." |
