    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the exposure of the discourses of misogyny and proto-capitalism in the rhetorical character of analogies in the allegory of the sorrowful complaint character Britomart in the epic poem "The Faerie Queene," by Edmund Spenser. It says that multiple positions exposed and critiqued by analogical readings of Britomart's sorrow by the sea recommend that natural analogies are not monolithic philosophical structures that undergird an Elizabethan belief system.
