Poem Begins Hollow Men
943 words
The imagery depicted in T. S. Eliot's poem "The
Hollow Men" evokes a sense of desolate
hopelessness and lends to Eliot's generally
cynical view of civilization during this period in
history. A reaction of deep and profound
disappointment in mankind around him is made
evident in this stark work, first published in
1925. In this short piece, Eliot enumerates
several deep faults he finds in his fellowman,
including hypocrisy, apathy and indifference, and
leaves the reader with a feeling of overwhel...

Ode On A Grecian Urn Rhyme Scheme
897 words
John Keats brilliantly uses poetic form and
descriptive language to attempt to evoke interest
in an inherently uninteresting subject, as well as
support a hidden agenda, with his poem, Ode on a
Grecian Urn. The three primary tools Keats uses,
from which we can analyze his strategy, are the
title of the poem, diction conforming to rhyme
scheme, and literary devices. The title of the
poem, Ode on a Grecian Urn seems at first
innocuous and meaningless, but when analyzed at
greater depth, sinister m...

Leaf Falls One Day

Even the frustration some people experience with
the poetry, is explained by the same dynamics of
Cummings writing. The speed employed by Cummings
require agility of mind, which sharpen perception.
Some people are plainly irritated by the Cummings
expression, because it does not yield itself to an
ordinary mind of the contemporary society. The
Cummings words are much harder to get grasp of
compared to the monotony conventional Georgian
poetasters. Cummings l is a good illustration to
this point ...

When I Heard A Buzz Fly Dies
746 words
An important aspect in the development of
Dickinson's writing and her themes is her personal
identification with the deaths of important people
around her. Dickinson was deeply affected by the
loss of young, close friends such as Sophia
Holland, Leonard Humphrey, and Benjamin Newton all
of whom died before she reached maturity. Their
deaths along with the death of her mother were a
constant reminder, especially to nineteenth
century Americans and Emily Dickinson, of the
fragility of life. While ...

Prentice Hall Robert Frost
1,105 words
The Lover not taken Trying to understand and
analyze literature, it is also necessary to
discuss the trends in literature at that time. But
no matter how the discussion would be organized it
is evident that the most important themes explored
in literature are love and hate; man and his
perception of the reality: and choice that a man
should make. It should be pointed that
post-Renaissance life and literature illustrates
the influence of scepticism upon philosophy and
literature. For a long time ...

Don Juan E G
714 words
Don Juan Although the myth on Don Juan was that he
was a womanizer, Byron offers completely different
interpretation of his character. Byron's Don Juan
is aimed to to clarify the nature of poetry in an
age where obscurity on the subject, both in theory
and practice, was becoming rampant (McGann 78), by
describing the main character as an innocent youth
who only succumbed to womens desire. World
literature knows plenty of interpretations of Don
Juan. The legend takes its origin from Spain.

Treatment Of Women Womens Rights
676 words
As a female in a highly patriarchal society, Anne
Bradstreet uses the reverse psychology technique
to prove the point of her belief of unfair and
unequal treatment of women in her community. Women
who wrote stepped outside their appropriate
sphere, and those who actually published their
work frequently faced social censure. Compounding
this social pressure, many women faced crushing
workloads and struggled with lack of leisure for
writing. Others suffered from an unequal access to
education, whi...

Road Less Traveled Frosts Poems
1,223 words
Frost, Robert Robert Frost, perhaps the greatest
American poet of the twentieth century, has
brought himself great recognition. Many critics
have tried to find a faulty side to his writing,
but they have had a difficult time because his
writing romanticizes the rural simplicity that he
loved while probing into the mysteries of the
universe (Estep 2). Three areas of criticism
covered are: a speakers decision in choosing, a
poem broken down into three sections, and Frosts
use of metaphors and styl...
