Wallace Stevens Poetic Techniques
627 words
One poet whose work you can really appreciate is
Wallace Stevens. Even though his poetry contains
very complex and lyrical vocabulary and his work
is symbolic in content, a reader can still find
ways to really enjoy the poems. Stevens seems to
be almost musical in his work. The poems I have
read pay much attention to the sound and
arrangement of words. On the other hand, I find
Stevens work to be somewhat bizarre. It is a style
of writing that will confuse the reader. The
reader may not understa...

Feelings Language Powerful

Wordsworth did not write by using lofty, eloquent
language, and great issues and personalities as
subjects. Unlike his contemporaries, he recognized
that good poetry is "the spontaneous overflow of
powerful feelings, " and therefore nothing along
the lines of strait-laced, stoic little old women,
or grandiose dining rooms. He wrote of bucolic
life: not much was said, but never were the
important things left out. Lifes most elementary
feelings were revealed in the most permanent ways:

Main Characters First Soliloquy

play, they do wonders to enrich the plot and
develop characters that the author finds important
to the story. The soliloquies of Macbeth are no
exception. Each soliloquy allows the reader into
the head of the character -- his or her emotions,
motivations, insecurities, and anything else that
might be going on. Therefore, the function of the
soliloquies in Macbeth is to heighten the readers
perception of what is happening to the highest
