Ben jonson as a critic
Ben Jonson was an influential 17th century English literary critic who advocated for classical order and discipline in writing, believing that English literature suffered from excessiveness; he outlined qualifications for poets including nature, exercise, imitation, study and art, and requirements for good style such as reading the best authors, observing orators, and exercising one's own style.
Literary forms
1) Lyric poetry expresses a single emotion through the poet's personal thoughts and feelings. It risks becoming less effective if expressing over emotion.
2) An ode is a rhymed lyric that makes a logical evaluation of ideas. It originated in Greece and comes in two forms - the Pindaric/Dorian ode with three sections, or the Horatian ode with short, similarly structured stanzas.
3) The sonnet is a 14 line lyric in iambic pentameter that develops a single theme. It originated in Latin and comes in two forms - the Petrarchan with an octave and sestet structure, or the Shakespearean with three stanzas and a couplet.

Theme Notes
A theme is an insight into human nature or life that gives meaning to a story. It is usually unstated but revealed through the events and character changes. To identify a theme, consider how the main character changed and what they learned about life. A theme can be expressed in a short sentence but is not the same as the plot or a moral. There is often not one single correct way to state the theme.
