Find a passage in our readings from Canto II in which nature is personified. Once you have selected a passage of 2 or 3 cantos, discuss he following questions:
1. How does the narrator present nature’s actions? Does he seem to judge or evaluate them? If so, then how? Is his evaluation consistent, or does he suggest different ways in which nature’s actions might be construed?
2. How do the characters in the story react to nature’s actions? Are their reactions sensible or appropriate? Why or why not?
3. How do nature’s actions in your passage square with the portrayal of nature throughout Canto II? On the whole, what is nature like in Canto II? What are its predominant characteristics? What kinds of adjectives would you use to describe it?
