Say What I Mean: Metaphor and the Exeter Book Riddles

The Exeter Book riddles are a heterogeneous collection, and at first glance it seems they have little III common beyond the riddle format and the final teasing challenge, Say what I mean, or Say what I am. The riddles range in length from a few lines to over a hundred, in tone from the religious to the mundane to the obscene; their subjects can be as specific as a butter churn or as broad as creation itself. One crucial similarity, however, does unify the riddles: all (well, almost all) are built around underlying, unstated metaphors. These metaphors-- such as a sword is a warrior, a ship is a dragon, water is a mother-- shape the riddles, governing their content and structure. (A small minority of the Exeter Book riddles are non-metaphoric. I will return to them later, but the thesis will concentrate on the metaphoric riddles). Recognition of the bond between riddles and metaphor dates back at least to Aristotle. Good riddles do, in general, provide us with satisfactory metaphors, he writes in the Rhetoric, for metaphors imply riddles, and therefore a good riddle can furnish a good metaphor (1405b

We Sick : The Deweys as Women\u27s Willful Self-Destruction in Toni Morrison\u27s Sula

Toni Morrison explores the complexities of race, gender, and matrilineal influence in Sula. Although much recent feminist criticism has addressed the operations of race and gender in the novel, this essay provides the first developed examination of Morrison’s strategic use of three diminutive boys, all named “dewey,” to emphasize the willfully self-destructive tendencies of the novel’s female characters. Burdened with their community’s limiting idealizations of femininity and motherhood, the women of Sula practice various forms of self-harm in an effort to develop and proclaim their holistic, autonomous selves. The deweys’ mischievous childhood games foreshadow the consequences of female self-harm, but they also reveal the ways in which communal abuse is transformed by women into agency. A careful analysis of the deweys’ significance is thus critical to any discussion concerning the relationship between Sula’s female characters and their community. The deweys are the key to uncovering the profound irony of self-destruction committed by women who strive to achieve independence while wrestling with the broader communal suffering they both inherit and transmit
