# Syntactical and Phonetic SDs in «The picture of Dorian Gray»

Hi)

I read Oscar Wild’s “The picture of Dorian Gray” and choose the 1st chapter for analysis.

SYNTACTICAL SDs

He is a brainless, beautiful thing, who should be always **here in winter when we have no flowers to look at**, and always **here in summer when we want something to chill out our intelligence** – antithesis

He is a brainless, beautiful thing, who should be **always here in** winter when we have no flowers to look at, and **always here in** summer when we want something to chill out our intelligence – ordinary repetition

You never say a moral thing, and you never do a wrong thing – parallel construction

He defines for me the lines of a fresh **school**, a **school** that is to have in itself all the passion of the romantic spirit – anadiplosis

There is **too much of myself** in the thing, Harry, -- **too much of myself** – ordinary repetition

There is too much of myself in the thing, Harry, -- too much of myself – break-in-the-narrative

You will feel it, you will feel it terribly – anaphora

**For this -- for this -**- I would give everything - repetition

For this -- for this -- I would give everything – break-in-the-narrative

They represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as we men represent the triumph of mind over the morals – antithesis

..Basil Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused, **at the time**, such public excitement and gave rise to so many strange conjectures – detachment

 

PHONETIC SDs

The studio was filled with the **r**ich odou**r** of **r**oses – alliteration

The dim **roar** of London – direct onomatopoeia

He is a brainless, beautiful thing, who should be always here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in summer **w**hen **w**e **w**ant something to chill out our intelligence – alliteration

A lo**n**g thi**n** drago**n**-fly floated by o**n** its brow**n** gauze wi**n**gs – alliteration

He blue cloud-shadows chased them**s**elve**s** acro**ss** the gra**ss** like **s**wallow**s** – alliteration

 
 

THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION!
