Homework: The Dornishmans Wife

The Dornishman's wife was as fair as the sun,
and her kisses were warmer than spring.
But the Dornishman's blade was made of black steel,
and its kiss was a terrible thing.
The Dornishman's wife would sing as she bathed,
in a voice that was sweet as a peach,
But the Dornishman's blade had a song of its own,
and a bite sharp and cold as a leech.
As he lay on the ground with the darkness around,
and the taste of his blood on his tongue,
His brothers knelt by him and prayed him a prayer,
and he smiled and he laughed and he sung,
"Brothers, oh brothers, my days here are done,
the Dornishman's taken my life,
But what does it matter, for all men must die,
and I've tasted the Dornishman's wife!"
1. What is the song about?

This man died because of the wounds received in the fight with
Dornishman. However he considered it as a fair trade.

the appearance, beauty of the Dornishmans wife

the power of Dornishmans blade its kiss was a
terrible thing; blade had a song of its own; a bite
sharp and cold as a leech
the sexual relation between this man and Dornishmans
wife Ive tasted the Dornishmans wife
3. What stylistic devices can you notice?
What is meant by them? What do they intensify?
as fair as the sun simile
It intensifies the Dornishmans wife beauty compared to the sun. A
beauty beyond understanding. The sun also symbolizes that she is
as hot as sun is, intensifying her bold character but also her
gorgeous appearance.

 kisses warmer than spring hyperbole

Her kisses were warmer than spring.= She attacked him with
fire (warmer than spring). It intensifies the barely controllable

emotion she had toward another man but not her husband.
She had strong feelings for him.
bladeits kiss was a terrible thing oxymoron
In this oxymoron kiss means attack which provoked a lot of pain and
sufferings terrible thing. This quotation reveals Dornishmans anger and
madness toward the man who dare sleep with his wife.
sweet as a peach simile
Peach in this case means the forbidden but most wanted fruit as
in the Garden of Eden, the man and wife couldnt stand the
temptation to try the fruit. Peach also emphasizes the softness and
gentleness of Dornishmans wifes voice. He was seduced by it as
Eve and Adam by the snake.
blade had a song of its own metaphor
The song here means its own purpose of hurting. The blade was
supposed to punish for sins.
a bite sharp and cold as a leech simile
The leech is for sucking the blood which emphasizes in this context
the deep wounds and the bite sharp the powerful fury and bloody
punishment .
with the darkness around metonomy
The darkness is The Long Night death. He was about going into
darkness, about dying. It intensifies the seriousness of the
circumstances.
taste of his blood metonomy
He had blood into his mouth because of the wounds. This reveals
the gravity of his situation. He was hurt bad enough. His blood can
be interpreted as his sin which caused this situation.
my days here are done clich
This expression means he was dying. He was coming to the end of
his life, provoked by his intrigue with Dornishmans wife. It makes
more intense his terrible condition.
tasted the Dornishman's wife metonomy
This SD means that he slept with Dornishmans wife and also makes
prominent the fact that he didnt regret it and was ready to pay for
his sin with death. The trade was fair.
