Kubla Khan And It Relationship To Romanticism

Samuel Coleridge Kubla Khan And Materialism
1,515 wordsSamuel T. Coleridge's Kubla Khan is a poem of two opposing ideas: materialism and imagination. In the poem, Coleridge presents imagination and emotion as the means to achieving pure pleasure and creating paradise. He does this by depicting two separate creations of a pleasure dome. One, made by Kubla Khan (a Chinese emperor in the 13 th century), was founded on materialistic greed and was created in physical reality, infecting an already present paradise in nature. This now contaminated paradise...

Kubla Khan Pleasure Dome
1,118 wordsIn the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge, language is used to convey images from Coleridge's imagination. This is done with the use of vocabulary, imagery, structure, use of contrasts, rhythm and sound devices such as alliteration and assonance. By conveying his imagination by using language, the vocabulary used by Coleridge is of great importance. The five lines of the poem Kubla Khan sound like a chant or incantation, and help suggest mystery and supernatural themes of the poem. Another impo...
