A parody is a 'take off' of the original. Comment here how this pardoy helps with the understanding of the plot. What does the poem mean to you now? What is lost through this version? What is gained?
This parody helps with the understanding of the plot as it enables it to be viewed visually. The poem shows how the raven is always there haunting. It shows how someone distraught can easily become mad. Homer is lamenting his love for Marge.
The Simpson's parody of 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe, helps give and understanding of the poem becuase it enables the reader to actually 'see' what is happening. The poem's meaning does not change although the director of the parody has played more on the mysterious and frightening elements of the poem rather than reminiscing of a lost love. Humour has been employed to relieve the 'heaviness' of such a poem but through this method some true understanding of the character's feelings are lost.
it was easier to undersatand that homer was grieving about the loss of his love lenore. The raven is a symbol of his madness? or his loneliness that is nagging at him all the time. constantly. anyway, P-diddy out YEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
well.. this one was better because you got to watch it.. and yeh, homer was preety cool.. bart was weird mmmmmm.. yep that was better than the first one.. but it's still weird and they're all still... freakazoids..
well....it was waaaay easier to understand..homer was going insane and bart was the raven and homer was going insane coz all bart said was nevermore...marge had pretty cool hair...WIERDO!....
the Simpson's parody of 'the Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe, enables an easier understanding as the the poem is visualised, it helps understand the love and loss of "Lenore" and the fear of the haunting of the Raven.
It was mostly the same as the original poem, with a few humourous anecdotes thrown in. However, the fact that it was a visual experience, and not just a poem gave it a dark edge.
homer was more scared byt he story than bart because i think homer knew more of the meaning than bart did. bart thought it wasnt scary because it wasnt a monster or DRgon like DRACULAAAAA. but homner saw the deeper meaning perhaps?. the poem is easier to understand becaus eit has a movie and you can see the emotion on the face of homer. the voices have more emotion and it is easier to distinguish the madness that homer is feeling and the loss he felt from losing lenore. anyway P-diddy out yewwwwwwww
this one lets you see the poem and it makes you understand it more because you get to watch it and you can watch homers emotions and expressions towards the raven when by just reading it you have to be able to try to read the mans emotions..
It is about a man that has lost his wife, and he is sitting in this room and he could hear knocking at the door but when he anwsered the door there was no one there. He hears more knocking so he opens the window and a raven flys in and sits at the top of his chamber door, and everytime he talks to the bird the bird just anwsers nevermore and this drives the man crazy.
this clip made it easier to understand that he was a crazy man missing the love of his life, a raven turns him crazy by repeatin itself by just saying never more. he is also goin crazy because he is missing his wife or girlfriend lenore who he keeps repeating himself
it is a lot easyer to understand and it tells you that he had lost his wife and then started to holousenate that there was someone out their watching him.
the simpsons thing was easier to understand for me because it was in a manner that i understood i know that the raven is a bird and the blokes name is Edgar Allan Poe and he lost the love ov his life
This story made me understand the raven a bit more. Whats his face lost his wife and then he opens the chamber door and noones there. He opens the window and the raven flies in and repeats never more.
The Simpsons parody of 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe, gives a more dramatic feeling to the meaning of the poem. The cartoon expresses, in a long way, the setting of the poem, the time 'a midnight dreaey,' and the feeling of the main character (Allan Poe?). it generates the fear, the love and the loneliness felt. it shows us into the mind of Allan Poe through every verse, it expresses his heart arch, and hardship that he has experienced during his life.
The Simpsons Parody of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe provides a way for people who don't really understand the original raven poem, it combines comic relief and slight horror with the poem to create a simple parody. At the beginning Lisa introduces the poem to Bart, suggesting that it's a horror story, suitable for the scene (hallowene) she begins to read and her voice is taken over by a daker and deeper voice. Homer plays the main character of the poem and (suggestively) the Raven is played by bart. The poem is basically the same, apart from a few humorous lines. The parody is more effective for people who don't understand the poem because it is a visual experience, it also creates a darker sense than what the poem actually posseses
