Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain how Mundair uses metaphorical language and a subversion of the ghazal form to express ideas of identity and heritage in ‘Name Journeys’.

Show transcript
Mundair uses powerful verbs to describe the experience of isolation felt by the speaker. Mundair may use the metaphor “woven tapestries” to refer to how our identities are created by ‘threads’ of life. Mundair uses a variation of the ghazal form to, arguably, connect to Indian heritage and thematic links. Mundair may have varied the ghazal form to comment on ideas of identity, heritage and belonging.
