Q

what is the meaning of the collar and its narrative?

A

The collar indicates ownership so her words are not in fact hers but Caesar’s which is emphasized with disrupted syntax. in which the words ‘I am’ are relegated to a position after Caesars’ so that the most significant feature of the deer is the identity of her owner.

Q

What is the meaning behind who the speaker addresses?

A

Not only is the speaker male but so are his addressees. His experience is not of her directly but of the activity of hunting her, since this is a collective activity for a group of male participants within which the speaker is one who is ‘farthest cometh behind’, arguably the primary experience is not of interacting with the deer but of a competition between men to see who will acquire her.

Trochaic substitution, it places stresses on the syllables ‘faynt’ and ‘foll’. There is a tension between the speaker’s collapse, conveyed by the aural weakness of f and desire to continue, emphasized by the stressed syllables
