Dickinson Poem Ice Cream
1,433 words... more telling, is that the sheet gotten from that dresser is not likely to be long enough to cover the whole of the corpse's body. This is not a major concern to the speaker of the poem; again, this seems to illustrate a sense of comfort and acceptance of "things as they are. " The goings-on of the characters in The Emperor of Ice-cream, are the goings-on of life. Life in the face of death is the tone of this poem, versus the looming agony of death in Dickinson's. If we were to isolate the ov...

Men Are Equal Point Of View
1,677 wordsAlthough these three poems are written by two very different authors, they both share a similarity in one aspect: they both confess to how the speakers truly look at their fathers.

However, Sylvia Plath's "Daddy" expresses a morbid hatred and disgust towards the father figure in her poem. The confessional voice is evident in all three, b...

Time Of Year Iambic Pentameter
1,413 wordsMost of the 127 sonnets Shakespeare wrote to one of his close male friends are united by the theme of the overwhelming, destructive power of time, and the counterbalancing power of love and poetry to create and preserve beauty. Sonnet 73 is no different, but it does present an intriguing twist on this theme. Most of these sonnets address the youth and beauty of his male friend, as well as poetry's power to immortalize them, but number 73 addresses the author's own mortality and the friend's love...

Helen Vendler Sonnet 60
685 wordsHelen Vendler, Sonnet 60 Helen Vendler thinks that Sonnet 60 is a perfect example of the 4 - 4 - 4 - 2 Shakespearean sonnet form.

Time[-s] is one member of the Couplet Tie and the word stand[-s] is the other. Helen Vendler paid her attention to the word stand, its ...

Lock Of Hair Rape Of The Lock
1,703 wordsAlex? s Analysis of Any Abject Abuse The destruction of the grand style of the epic is just what Pope was after in his mock epic, The Rape of the Lock. Pope had no such universal goal, or moral pronouncements to make as did Milton. His purpose was merely to expose the life of the nobility of his time. While Milton chose blank verse to express the immensity of the landscape of his epic, Pope chose to utilize the heroic couplet to trivialize this grandeur. Popes quick wit bounces the reader along ...

Idea Of Love Kind Of Love
1,384 wordsDaniel wrote a conventional love sonnet using the traditional Petrarchan style of putting the idea of love, or the mistress, on a pedestal. Shakespeare turned these ideas on their heads by portraying a mistress who was by no means special and most certainly unappealing. In comparing Daniels Sonnet 6 and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, I have come to the conclusion that Daniel s and Shakespeare's ideas of the perfect lady and of true life on the most part differed. During Daniels time there was a tradi...
