Right now, I'm going to go with Pain in the freaking ass.
My English teacher says "write 1300 words on the importance of a mythological character in Lycidas."
Have you even read Lycidas?
It's a bit painful.
I will admit, I am impressed with the amount of hidden metaphors and meanings.
It's said to be the greatest work of literature in the world.
I decided to write my essay on Phoebus, more commonly know as Apollo.
Shit.
He's all over that speaker who represents Milton when the speaker contemplates immortal fame.
And, being that Phoebus is the god of truth and prophecy (and a hell of a lot of other things)he tells that speaker not to worry because even the great Jove (god) will award him with eternal fame.
Way to go, Milton.
You got your freaking immortal fame.
Your precious Lycidas is now being immortalized by 22 other nerdy I.B. English students.
