The poem tells the tragic story of two lovers, a highwayman and the landlord's daughter Bess, who sacrifice themselves for one another. When the highwayman is pursued by redcoat soldiers, Bess helps him escape by distracting the soldiers with her death. Upon learning of her death, the distraught highwayman attacks the soldiers but is killed. The poem suggests their love continues even after death, as the highwayman is said to still ride up to the old inn where Bess waits for him.

Hamlet is far from a perfect character. His depression and melancholy, however understandable,cause him to misunderstand Ophelia and The Queen. he kills polonius by mistake, but he also sends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths with clear calculation.
Hamlet's insistence that even that part should be faced with courage, good humor and understanding which distinguishes him from the other characters and makes him Tragic Hero.
In my 3rd year in college, I was assigned to discuss in the class one of William Shakespeare's plays and I chose Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. It was in our English&American Literature class with Mr. D.A. Aragon. :)
The 1st part of the presentation is, of course, a short introduction of the playwright. (this is a super-duper late upload. haha)

In many ways, Du Bois' Of the Passing of the First Born echoes many of the familiar themes that we have seen in past modules. However, Du Bois took decidedly different approach when writing about the loss of a child. By focusing on and accentuating his culture in the narrative, how does this story transform into a story that can connect with all people, but specifically minorities?

Chapter 11:
Of the Passing of the First-Born
O sister, sister, thy first–begotten,
The hands that cling and the feet that follow,
The voice of the child's blood crying yet,
WHO HATH REMEMBERED ME? WHO HATH FORGOTTEN?
Thou hast forgotten, O summer swallow,
But the world shall end when I forget.
SWINBURNE.
"Unto you a child is born," sang the bit of yellow paper that fluttered
into my room one brown October morning. Then the fear of fatherhood
mingled wildly with the joy of creation; I wondered how it looked and
how it felt—what were its eyes, and how its hair curled and crumpled
itself. And I thought in awe of her,—she who had slept with Death to
tear a man–child from underneath her heart, while I was unconsciously
wandering. I fled to my wife and child, repeating the while to myself
half wonderingly, "Wife and child? Wife and child?"—fled fast and
faster than boat and steam–car, and yet must ever impatiently await
them; away from the hard–voiced city, away from the flickering sea into
my own Berkshire Hills that sit all sadly guarding the gates of
Massachusetts.
Up the stairs I ran to the wan mother and whimpering babe, to the
sanctuary on whose altar a life at my bidding had offered itself to win a
life, and won. What is this tiny formless thing, this newborn wail from
an unknown world,—all head and voice? I handle it curiously, and watch
perplexed its winking, breathing, and sneezing. I did not love it then; it
seemed a ludicrous thing to love; but her I loved, my girl–mother, she
whom now I saw unfolding like the glory of the morning—the
transfigured woman. Through her I came to love the wee thing, as it
grew strong; as its little soul unfolded itself in twitter and cry and half–
formed word, and as its eyes caught the gleam and flash of life. How

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

In the end, The Highwayman (a violent life) will die a violent

but the landlord’s daughter - unfortunate violent death
(pathos).
Their love for each other saved him but Bess’s loyalty to
The Highwayman, cost her dearly as she sacrificed her life
to save him.
repeating stanzas give unity to the story/ballad
The Highwayman
6. PART ONE
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding— Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.
He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
9. Continued use of metaphors throughout the poem

his eyes were hollows of madness - the road was a gypsy’s ribbon
Stanza seven :
continues to maintain suspension and thrill.

mood or setting the scene
AND also with death and sorrow. Definitely linked
The Highwayman
11. The Highwayman is riding up to the old inn door to meet his love
repetition of Riding, Riding, Riding- Marching, Marching … suggests :
- emphasis and to signal imminent distress/tension
– on his horse for an extremely long time
– sound sense unity as the Highwayman was coming nearer and
nearer to Bess
– Her face shined – fear and danger (foreshadowing of her untimely
death in sacrifice)
The Highwayman
12. PART TWO
She twisted her hands behind her; but all the knots held good!
She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood!
They stretched and strained in the darkness, and the hours crawled by like
years
Till, now, on the stroke of midnight, Cold, on the stroke of midnight,
The tip of one finger touched it! The trigger at least was hers!
The tip of one finger touched it. She strove no more for the rest.
Up, she stood up to attention, with the muzzle beneath her breast.
She would not risk their hearing; she would not strive again;
For the road lay bare in the moonlight; Blank and bare in the moonlight;
And the blood of her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her love’s refrain.
Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot! Had they heard it? The horsehoofs ringing clear;
Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot, in the distance? Were they deaf that they did not hear?
Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill,
The highwayman came riding— Riding—riding—
The red coats looked to their priming! She stood up, straight and still.
.
13. Bess pulled the trigger and warned him with her death
Repetition of Moonlight, moonlight
Bess was acting in the moonlight.
Her musket shot shattered the moon’s lights.
The Highwayman
14. PART TWO
Tlot-tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlot-tlot, in the echoing night!
Nearer he came and nearer. Her face was like a light.
Her eyes grew wide for a moment; she drew one last deep breath,
Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
Her musket shattered the moonlight,
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him—with her death.
He turned. He spurred to the west; he did not know who stood
Bowed, with her head o’er the musket, drenched with her own blood!
Not till the dawn he heard it, and his face grew grey to hear
How Bess, the landlord’s daughter, The landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there.
Back, he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky,
With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high.
Blood red were his spurs in the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat;
When they shot him down on the highway, Down like a dog on the highway,
And he lay in his blood on the highway, with a bunch of lace at his throat.
.
15. When the Highwayman discovered Bess was dead,
he :
chased after the troops
was consumed with grief and rage.
held up his sword to attack them,
knew that they outnumbered him
was aware he was going to die.
16. This suggests :
troops shot the Highwayman on the road
“Down like a dog” - the troops had no respect for him
chasing after him and shooting the man suggests their
intention had always been to shoot the Highwayman
and not to let him live
17. PART TWO
And still of a winter’s night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highwayman comes riding— Riding—riding—
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.
Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard.
He taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred.
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
.
18. The story is a never-ending tale in poetic narrative form
with a hint of horror at the suggestion that the lovers
are still to be seen in the countryside – one looking for
the other and perhaps never being able to meet, not
even after their tragic sacrifice
19. "Over The Hills And Far Away"
(originally by Gary Moore)
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away. Over the hills …
Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.
