My Fancy Comments

5 Stars All for this fascinating poem by the great Poet Lewis Carroll. CONGRATS!

NINE: reminding us that true affection goes beyond superficial images and remains worth cherishing even when reality doesn't align with our fantasies.

EIGHT: suggesting that genuine love transcends mere appearances and expectations. Summed up, "My Fancy" explores the enigmatic and sometimes irrational aspects of love,

SEVEN: The closing lines capture this sentiment: "She's all my fancy painted her, but oh! how much besides! " Here, the word "fancy" refers to both imagination and affection,

SIX: These absurd comparisons add to the overall sense of confusion and intrigue. Ultimately, despite the discrepancies and uncertainties, the speaker's love for the woman persists.

FOUR: the mysterious and confusing nature of love. For instance, he compares the woman's characteristics to those of various animals: FIVE: "the bear's ethereal grace, " "the bland hyaena's laugh, " and "the footstep of the elephant."

THREE: The discrepancy between his idealized image and the actual person highlights the theme of expectation versus reality. The poet's playful language and whimsical descriptions emphasize

TWO: In the poem, the speaker initially imagines a beautiful woman, painting her with "eyes of blue" and a "curly auburn head." However, as he encounters the real woman, he realizes that his imagination was not entirely accurate.

ONE: The theme of this poem revolves around the confusion and exaggeration associated with love and romance. Let's go deeper into the poem to explore this theme further.

It would be sexist to imagine that there can only be inordinately male-dominated relationships. This piece, in the vein of Carroll's humor, envisions an inordinately female-dominated relationship, and what the perspective of the man who lives within that relationship might be of his physically dominant partner. There is also, if I am inferring correctly, the suggestion that there is so much more to a person than that which we initially see when we enter into a relationship, and it is not always apparent what will unfold in the future. I know not enough of Carroll's other writings to intelligently conclude anything about his view of women as a whole. The character of this piece's female subject is not un-reminiscent of the Red Queen. If this is an ongoing pattern in his other works, then I would have to conclude that Mr. Carroll did have a pathologic (purposefully employed) view of women.
