Paradise Lost - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

Answer the following about Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock’s (“KLOP-shtok’s”) epic poem The Messiah, for 10 points each.

[10e] Klopstock’s poem was heavily influenced by a German translation of this other poem. Satan declares that it is “better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven” in this poem by John Milton.

ANSWER: Paradise Lost

[10m] Canto 15 of The Messiah sees the death of Klopstock’s wife, who was referred to as “Cidli” in his earlier poems in this form. The strophe, antistrophe, and epode make up an earlier structure of this poetic form often used to depict athletes.

ANSWER: odes [accept Pindaric ode]

[10h] Klopstock unusually used dactylic hexameter as the verse form for The Messiah, rather than this “traditional” verse. This French-derived verse line consists of two half-lines of six syllables separated by a caesura.
