"a valentine"
by edgar allan poe

1. for her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
2. brightly expressive as the twins of leda,
3. shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
4. upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
5. search narrowly the lines! -they hold a treasure
6. divine-a talisman-an amulet
7. that must be worn at heart. search well the measure-
8. the words-the syllables! do not forget
9. the trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
10. and yet there is in this no gordian knot
11. which one might not undo without a sabre,
12. if one could merely comprehend the plot.
13. enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
14. eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
15.three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
16. of poets, by poets-as the name is a poet's, too,
17. its letters, although naturally lying
18. like the knight pinto-mendez ferdinando-
19. still form a synonym for truth-cease trying!
20. you will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.

Item 7 shakespeare often puts the audience in a situation where they know more than one of the characters does. how does shakespeare increase the tension in the four-lovers story line by giving the audience information that one or more of the characters does not have? the audience knows that hermia’s father really approves of lysander and there is no need for hermia and lysander to run away. this knowledge builds tension because the audience wonders if hermia and lysander’s relationship will survive a night in the woods. the audience knows that helena really hates hermia and wants to hurt her. this knowledge builds tension when helena tells demetrius of hermia’s plan to run away because the audience wonders if hermia will be caught and punished. the audience knows that lysander and demetrius are under the spell, but helena and hermia do not. this knowledge builds tension and makes the audience eager to see what will happen next. the audience knows that oberon is observing the lovers, but the lovers do not know. this knowledge builds tension because oberon falls in love with helena and decides to become a human so he can marry her.
