The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. What arguments does the speaker put forward to explain his identifying with devils and Hell? Does this make him more or less credible in your eyes?
  2. What are the speaker's ideas about reading and poetry?
  3. Which parts of this book might be intentionally funny or ridiculous? Why to you think so?
  4. What is the effect of all the "Memorable Fancy" sections? Why do you think the speaker includes them?
  5. How does the strange form of this book affect the way you read it?
