Counter Argument Sexual Relations
1,250 wordsA Reading of Donne's 'The Flea' Jimmy Breck-Mc Kye Gordon College Cambridge University United Kingdom It is common to ascribe to Donne the status of archetypal logical poet- a man whose works are tightly crafted, confident, and certain in their application of metaphor and analogy. True enough, Donne's poem seems to suggest a certain self-security: we see a tight, predictable rhyme scheme, and an ordered structure. There is also arguably a wealth of rhetorical resources - Donne does not shy away ...

Give The Reader Carl Sandburg
1,475 wordsIn this assignment I will gracefully compare and contrast two short poems. In my selection for the poems, I kept in mind that the two poems needed to have something in common metaphorically or thematically. After many hours of browsing (or about 30 minutes) I came upon two poems that contained an ultimately strange connection metaphorically and in content. Interestingly, the two also had numerous differences. The first poem I encountered was "The Sick Rose" (1794) written by William Blake. Soon ...

Wilfred Owen Poetic Devices
756 wordsWilfred Owens poem, Arms and the Boy, is a subtle criticism of war that asks deeper questions about violence in human society. Man is born with little that could be used as a physical weapon of violence. His teeth seem for laughing round and apple and there lurk no claws behind his fingers. Despite this lack of natural weaponry, human beings create themselves powerful, destructive weapons of steel and zinc that are far more deadly than any natural teeth, claws, talons, or antlers.

The witches are the main evil in the play even though they only appear 4 times in the story, but each time they appear they always create an evil atmosphere. When I say 'the main evil in the play' this is my opinion, I feel they are the main because they are pure evil incarnate and they are what trigger the whole thing of. I feel when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth he meant it to be on two levels, one ...

Understanding The Elegy Darkest Form Of Poetry

One should not forget that the earliest Greek elegies which we know of today are not funeral, yet indeed show something of a primitive nature which relates to the burial ceremony. I...
