| dc.description.abstract | On the basis of this theory, I shall concentrate on “stable irony” in Atwood’s poetry. Among the primary sources that I use, “The Circle Game”, “Lesson on Snakes”, “The Moment”, and “At the Tourist Center in Boston” are poems in which “stable irony” manifests more. Atwood uses irony as an arrow targeted on specific “victims”. As Linda Hutcheon writes in her book Irony’s Edge: “Unlike synecdoche, say, irony always has a “target”; it sometimes also has what some want to call a “victim”. As the connotations of those two terms imply, irony’s edge is often a cutting one”(15). Therefore, I shall concentrate on the various manifestations of “stable irony” – sometimes using “intended irony” as an aid – in three main fields: the problem of Canadian identity influencing Atwood's poetry; social and political issues, more precisely the roles of women and men in a patriarchal system; and finally, the struggle between human beings and nature, the human views of death, its cycles, and the unavoidable: the end of life. | hu_HU |
