Read the passage from A Room of one's Own.
What message is emphasized by the alliteration and
parallel structure in this passage?
The reason perhaps why we know so little of Shakespeare
-compared with Donne or Ben Jonson or Milton is that
his grudges and spites and antipathies are hidden from us.
We are not held up by some "revelation" which reminds us
of the writer. All desire to protest, to preach, to proclaim an
injury, to pay off a score, to make the world the witness of
some hardship or grievance was fired out of him and
consumed. Therefore his poetry flows from him free and
unimpeded.
People who write have more negative than positive
feelings
Writing provides an important and necessary emotional
outlet
The feelings of certain writers have been well
documented.
The purpose of writing is to seek revenge on one's
attackers.
