1,042 wordsImagery is an important-perhaps the most important-device used to communicate meaning in poetry. Where other forms of literature can sometimes be over a thousand pages long, poetry is usually much shorter. The poet must get his or her point across in only a few pages, and one of the best ways to condense a long story (or message) is to use imagery.

897 wordsHermia Hermia, daughter of Egeus, is in love with Lysander but betrothed to Demetrius. In much the same way as other characters in Greek tragedy, such as Antigone, defy the arbitrary rule of law, Hermia challenges her fathers unfair demands, on pain of death or lifelong exile into solitary confinement. She appeals to a higher law of justice that is eternal, universal, and divinely-given, that is higher in authority than the temporal laws made by men. Her resistance to authority represents the th...
