Name ___________________________

Rhetorical Appeals — "The Fate of Ophelia" — Taylor Swift

Swift reaches across centuries to borrow Shakespeare's drowned heroine. Use the prompts to unpack how the allusion does its work.

Guiding QuestionYour Notes
EthosWhat authority does Swift borrow by invoking Ophelia? How does literary allusion shape her credibility?
PathosTrace the emotional arc from "drowned in the melancholy" to "saved my heart." Which images carry the heaviest weight?
LogosHow does the conditional ("If you'd never come…I might've drowned") frame love as rescue? What does that imply?

I heard something on a podcast driving to school and had a full lesson bundle built around it before I even left the parking lot. That has never been possible before.
