William Shakespeare - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

In one poem, the speaker likens this person’s words to “shooting stars which fell to Earth as kisses” after calling an heirloom “a spinning world of forests, castles, torchlight, [and] clifftops.” For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this person who, in a John Milton poem, is addressed as a “son of Memory” that lies under a “star-ypointing pyramid.”

ANSWER: William Shakespeare [or “On Shakespeare, 1630”] (The poems are “Anne Hathaway” by Carol Ann Duffy, and “On Shakespeare, 1630” by John Milton.)

[10m] In “Anne Hathaway,” Carol Ann Duffy likens Hathaway and Shakespeare’s marriage bed to “seas where he would dive for pearls,” potentially alluding to a song which this character sings. This spirit sings “Full Fathom Five.”

ANSWER: Ariel

[10e] In response to the censorship of one of her poems, Duffy wrote “Mrs. Schofield’s GCSE,” in which she references this Shakespeare play about “star-cross’d lovers” with a line about “Tybalt’s death.”

ANSWER: Romeo and Juliet
