Literary Analysis Task\n\nIn this task you will analyze “Phoebus and Daphne”by Ovid and an excerpt from AMidsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare.As you read these texts,you will gatherinformation and answer questions to analyze how Shakespeare transformed Ovid'sstory.At the end of the task,you willbe asked to write an analytical essay.  \nOvid's Metamorphoses:Phoebus and Daphne  \nPhoebus's'first love was Daphne,daughter of Peneus,and not through chance but because ofCupid's fierce anger.Recently the Delian god,exulting at his victory over the serpent,had seenhim bending his tightly strung bow and said 'Impudent boy,what are you doing with a man'sweapons?That one is suited to my shoulders,since I can hit wild beasts of a certainty,and woundmy enemies,and not long ago destroyed with countless arrows the swollen Python that coveredmany acres with its plague-ridden belly.You should be intent on stirring the concealed fires oflove with your burning brand,not laying claim to my glories!'  \nVenus's son replied 'You may hit every other thing Phoebus,but my bow will strike you:tothe degree that all living creatures are less than gods,by that degree is your glory less than mine.'He spoke,and striking the air fiercely with beating wings,he landed on the shady peak ofParnassus,and took two arrows with opposite effects from his full quiver:one kindles love,theother dispels it.The one that kindles is golden with a sharp glistening point,the one that dispels isblunt with lead beneath its shaft.With the second he transfixed Peneus's daughter,but with thefirst he wounded Apollo piercing him to the marrow ofhis bones.  \nNow the one loved,and the other fled from love's name,taking delight in the depths of thewoods,and the skins of the wild beasts she caught,emulating²virgin Phoebe,a careless ribbonholding back her hair.Many courted her,but she,averse to being wooed,free from men andunable to endure them,roamed the pathless woods,careless of Hymen or Amor,or whatevermarriage might be.Her father often said ‘Girl you owe me a son-in-law³,and again often'Daughter,you owe me grandsons.'But,hating the wedding torch as if it smacked of crime shewould blush red with shame all over her beautiful face,and clinging to her father's neck withcoaxing arms,she would say‘Dearest father,let me be a virgin for ever!Diana's father granted itto her.'He yields to that plea,but your beauty itself,Daphne,prevents your wish,and yourloveliness opposes your prayer.  \nPhoebus loves her at first sight,and desires to wed her,and hopes for what he desires,but hisown oracular³powers fail him.As the light stubble of an empty cornfield blazes;as sparks fire ahedge when a traveller,by mischance,lets them get too close,or forgets them in the morning;sothe god was altered by the flames,and all his heart burned,feeding his useless desire with hope.He sees her disordered hair hanging about her neck and sighs'What if it were properly dressed?\"He gazes at her eyes sparkling with the brightness of starlight.He gazes on her lips where meregazing does not satisfy.He praises her wrists and hands and fingers,and her arms bare to theshoulder:whatever is hidden,he imagines more beautiful.But she flees swifter than the lightestbreath of air,and resists his words calling her back again.  \n'Wait nymph,daughter of Peneus,I beg you!I who am chasing you am not your enemy.Nymph,Wait!This is the way a sheep runs from the wolf,a deer from the mountain lion,and adove with fluttering wings flies from the eagle:everything flies from its foes,but it is love that isdriving me to follow you!Pity me!I am afraid you might fall headlong or thorns undeservedlyscar your legs and I be a cause of grief to you!These are rough places you run through.Slowdown,I ask you,check your flight,and I too will slow.At least enquire whom it is you havecharmed.I am no mountain man,no shepherd,no rough guardian of the herds and flocks.Rashgirl,you do not know,you cannot realise,who you run from,and so you run.Delphi's lands are  ","cbCaijT0KpqisGqd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijT0KpqisGqd","pdf",168821,"English","# Literary Analysis Task\n## Source Texts and Reading
