Artists never do anything useful. "Philosophers bake no bread" Bread means all nutrition. That which sustains us. Is philosophy useless?
Okay, so Synecdoque means that...huh...most definitions are in French. Wikipedia has no definition.
It seems that synecdoque is a particular kind of metonymie.
I think that synecdoque means that: by replacing a specific word with another word that has a smaller connotative meaning, the audience will understand the intended meaning by associating the connotative images. (Substituting the whole for the part)
Metonymie means: words are exchanged with other connected words to imply meaning. (The White House can be substituted for the President.)
It seems that the difference between the two, is that Synecdoque is more realistic. If the smaller part is used, than the metaphor has to make sense. If one was to travel to Montana for a business trip, then saying, "I will see old Faithful" will still be true, while not fully grasping the depth of the trip to Montana. Yet, it will be understood that the person is taking a trip to Montana.
On the other hand, metonomy is more poetic. The words have to be linked, but the substitution does not have to be realistic. Saying that the White House addressed the crowd, is a metaphor that could not happen. Buildings don't talk.
*Know for test: Calls the poet The Maker (Poesies)
Sidney: Nature doesn't set the tapestry as richly as the poet does. "only the poet...freely ranging within the zodiac of his own wits" (Carly found this passage in Sidney)
Brazen VS Golden (Myth of the declining ages). Nature is brazen (brass) but poetry is golden.

Most people would be in a mood of exhilaration...pleasure has nothing to do with sadism...if when done with a book and you feel depressed, than something wrong with the writing, or the person reading it.
