Phallic Stage Sexual Content
802 words
Emily Dickinson's A Narrow Fellow in the Grass A
long time ago, before women had many of the rights
that they do now, an author wrote a series of
poems that shocked the public. This poem startled
the readers when they found out that the author of
this poem was a woman. At the time that 986 was
written women were supposed to remain abstinent
for the man who was to marry them when they were
older. When Emily wrote this poem she was a
virgin; she even wore white clothes. The poem 986
utilizes Freud...

Recovery of the American-African Male/Female
Relationship Maya Angelou's extraordinary ability
to express so clearly the historic and
contemporary pain, love, and culture of
American-Africans is unparalleled in poetic
literature. Her brilliant use of imagery is one of
the many facets of her writing that has propelled
her to be recognized as one of the greatest poets

Analysis of Francis Devine's A Terrible Beauty
When first confronted with the poem, A Terrible
Beauty, the reader would presumable not get any
understanding out of the title. After reading the
poem the reader can get the basic idea and create
a clear picture of the setting and the tone from
the speaker. The subject was a black man getting
beaten by a group of Irish somewhere in Ireland.
The reader does not recognize the theme of the
poem right away. After recognizing the last two
lines: Is this ...

Road Less Traveled Third Stanza
1,011 words
Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" shows the
uncertainty as to which road of life a person
should choose. It raises the evident question of
whether it is better to choose a road in which
many travel, or to choose the road less traveled
and explore it yourself. In this poem the speakers
tone, diction, and setting help to illustrate the
struggle a person goes through in their lives to
pick the right road to travel. In the first verse
of the first stanza, Frost says "Two roads
diverged in a yellow...

An Analysis of In Memory of W. B. Yeats Friends
often share stories or poems of loved one at their
funeral. This helps to ease their pain and can
also express accomplishments of the deceased. When
W. B. Yeats passed away, one of his
contemporaries, W. H. Auden, wrote a poem in
memory of him. Auden's poem entitled In Memory of
W. B. Yeats, presents the life of Yeats from
Auden's perspective in three different sections.

Wilfred Owen Gas Shells
629 words
This poem was written by Wilfred Owen and is based
on his situation in the trenches during World War
One. I wish to discuss how Owen effectively
portrays the suffering of the soldiers using
various writing techniques. In this poem Wilfred
Owen describes the agony these men are put through
after a hard day of fighting, gas attacks and the
excruciating pain of watching a fellow soldier die
a gruesome death. In the first stanza the poet
shocks us by using an image of tired defenceless
men, and uses...

Stopping By Woods Woods On A Snowy Evening
435 words
Clearly committing Frost to another stanza of
interlocking rhymes rather than permitting him to
conclude with a flourish, the draft of the last
quatrain would have left the poem open-ended. But
Frost wanted an ending that was definite in terms
of technique yet ambiguous in terms of meaning.
Twenty-eight years after writing "Stopping by
Woods on a Snowy Evening, " he revealed his
difficulty to Charles Madison: "I might confess
the trade secret that I wrote the third line of
the last stanza of Sto...

Poem Should Be Equal First Stanza Reader
806 words
Every person has his or her own opinion about
poetry. Some analyze and go into deep thought
about poetry and others just look at the
superficial appearance presented by the author.
Either way, interpretations are created and
opinions are based. The poem Ars Poetica, by
Archibald MacLeish is a very simple and blunt
poem. His feelings about poetry are presented in a
very simple way, so that no one can get the wrong
idea. The first stanza summarizes the whole poem.
He starts out by stating how quie...

In poetry it is important for meanings and themes
to be conveyed to us in a unique and interesting
manner. Margaret Atwood uses many literary devices
so the reader can really feel her poems and come
to a greater understanding through her wonderful
narrative voices. In the poem, This is a
Photograph of Me, Atwood uses haunting, ambiguous
imagery to bring the piece to life and support its
mysterious theme. The first image we receive from
the poem is in the title itself. The image is an

Robert Lowell On Skunk Hour The Stinky Criticism
644 words
Steven Gould Axelrod and James E. B. Breslin's
criticisms of Robert Lowells Skunk Hour agree
about the significance and meaning of the first
four stanzas. However they start to veer away from
each other in their analysis of stanza five where
there is an obvious shift in tone and direction.
Both give a completely different analysis of the
second half of the poem from the other with one
skipping the end altogether. A slight deviation
from commonality is apparent in Axelrod and
Breslin's interpreta...

Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem, Illusion, extensively
poses philosophical and metaphysical uncertainties
pertaining to the perception and distinction
between reality and actuality. Wilcox takes a very
original and abstract approach in utilizing
hypothetical dialogue with a superior spiritual
figure. This unique element vastly broadens the
readers perspective and opinions of its literary
value. Wilcox's style also greatly opens a door
for a wide variety of personal interpretations and

? Fear no more? By William Shakespeare William
Shakespeare utilizes simplistic language to
emphasize the themes in? Fear no more; ? however,
he exercises complex metaphors to depict the
struggles one undergoes during a lifetime and as a
result urges the reader to overcome all
melancholic sentiments that lead one to oppose a
peaceful death. The diction applied in? Fear no
more? efficiently creates emphasis on specific
sections of the poem. In addition, the euphonic

Shakespeare Romeo And Juliet Act 2 Scene
4,788 words
The term imagery has various applications.
Generally, imagery includes all kinds of sense
perception (not just visual pictures). In a more
limited application, the term describes visible
objects only. But the term is perhaps most
commonly used to describe figurative language,
which is as a theme in literature. An example is
animal imagery in Othello When Iago tortures
Othello with animal images of his wifes supposed
infidelity, were they as prime as goats, as hot as
monkeys? (3. 3. 403), his des...
