hi
buddy ✌️✌️✌️✌️
A Grammarian’s Funeral is a dramatic monologue set in shortly after the renaissance in EuropeA sad poem sung by a disciple of a noble grammarian, who passed away after spending whole of life in pursuing his ambition of learning new things.
The poem is about the whole life of the grammarian as seen and observed by the disciple. It is in the form of a movement from plains to the hilltop, where they plan to bury the grammarian.
They walk in darkness towards the mountain and during the walk the grammarian’s disciple tells the biography and the achievements of his master.
The grammarian’s disciples wish their master to be buried in the mountain where there is culture and learning. This mountain receives the sun shine first than it passes it down to earth. The mountain here represents greatness and higher thoughts.
His eager interests in knowing the mystery of world and human life led him spend all his young age reading and gaining knowledge. Even in his old age, he wanted to know the views of poets and other great scholars.
He believed in enjoying life after death (the eternal life). He kept reading books, without a stop. After reading books, he wished to read the commentaries and criticism of some books. He wished to read until the last moment of his life.
The grammarian before beginning to live his life planned for his life. The grammarian fully believed in God and thereby he planned for his happy life, after death. Ordinary men would say that time keeps moving and they would start enjoying their life but the grammarian believed in life after death and in the concept that soul has no end.
He was not narrow in his thoughts. He did not have small ambitions. He did not draw a small circle around him. Only ordinary men would believe in short gains and profits and they would lose the bargain during the Judgment day.
The poem is an example of Browning’s skill of describing characters through dramatic monologue.
