... the sea. The two main themes of "Sea Fever" bring the reader closer to the sea and help the reader understand why the speaker must return to the sea. "Sea Fever" not only depicts a strong longing for the sea through its theme, but also through use of complex figures of speech, imagery, and meter. "Sea Fever" is an excellent example of varied meter which follows the actions of a tall ship through high seas and strong wind. Lines one and two contain the common iambic meter found throughout the poem. "Sea Fever" may be categorized as a sea chantey due to its iambic meter and natural rhythm which gives it a song like quality. This song like quality is created through ...

... show the reader the perspective of the dead. The vivid imagery in this poem functions to enhance the reader's perception of the poem. The following passage conveys a resplendent physical sense of coldness as someone is frozen to death: "This is the Hour of Lead-- Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow-- First--Chill--then Stupor--then the letting go--" The innovative diction in this passage creates an eerie atmosphere all by itself. The effect of this passage is reminiscent of the famous macabre monologue at the end of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Dickenson also excellently portrays the restlessness of the mourners in this followin ...

... also symbolize the feministic movements of the early sixties. Hecht's view might have been that women could have equality to men, but its not important enough to let them talk about it. His display of faithfulness in the women's unfaithfulness is also a reaction to the Victorian idea that the wife should be there for her husband. It could also be a scary reality in Hecht's mind that times were changing and women wouuld not be at every beaconing call of their husband. Hecht reinforces his Ideas of change by taking Arnold's "...the cliffs of England stand, glimmering and vast" and transforms the Victorian idea of women into "...cliffs of England crumbling away behin ...

... to the actions of the Hangman and the people he killed. Once the Hangman began killing, nobody tried to step up and stop the Hangman (except for one person who was killed). In this case, the good men did not attempt to stop the evil. As a consequence for this lack of action, each person was killed because he serves the Hangman best. The way in which the good served the Hangman was by letting the evil triumph over the town. If a group had attempted to stop the Hangman, he could have possibly been stopped. Because only one person attempted to stop the evil, those who kept quiet were killed for helping the Hangman without realizing it. If the good men do not ...

... existence beyond his too-short human lifetime. As Keats tries to find some sense of permanence in an ever more apparently impermanent and fleeting world, he turns to those objects which he regards to as outside of the temporality he, as a mortal man experiences: the perpetuating, generationless song of the nightingale and the “cold Pastoral” ageless marble scenes on the Grecian Urn, considered by may to be among the “best” of his poetry. Ex: His best poetry is composed largely of representations of representations, meditations “on” objects or texts that are themselves reflections of other artists’ creative acts (Scott, xi). The product of these artists are indeed ti ...

... speak and laugh with her love, and she can't. "-he who listens intimately to the sweet murmur of your voice, the enticing laughter that makes my own heart beat fast. If I meet you suddenly, I can't speak- my tongue is broken." She wishes that she had the same relationship with her love that he has. The Greeks believed that love was so strong of an emotional feeling that it could have physical effects. In the poem, the speaker becomes ill from loving so much. She is hurt inside because she is not with her love, and the emotional pain transforms to physical effects. "I drip with sweat; trembling shakes my body and I turn paler than dry grass. At such times death i ...

... seated and the service beginning, a drumming noise associated with the service numbs her mind. The image of the seated mourners suggest that some order has been restored. However, the mind is again under attack, and the beating drum symbolizes the waves of feeling which numb the mind. In the third stanza, the poet states that she hears the mourners lift the coffin. Again, they move slowly across her soul with feet which seem encased in lead. Am intensification of attack on the mind by bringing together images of sound and weight is suggested. She hears the mourners as they lift the coffin and begin to move, and she feels their feet which seem to be en ...

... making it different from the usual news reports and broadcasts. He does this by comparing it to the natural land and emphasising how bad it is "Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh, And the sudden smell of burning flesh" The poem itself has rhyming couplets in every two sentences just like a simple poem. The title suggests that the fruit is the unnatural black body hanging from the tree which hangs like a fruit. This image makes it a metaphor to give the whole poem an effect. The authors intention is to make people understand exactly what is going on. He also tries to make us feel guilty as we are the murderers because we are white. The ...

... of understanding the injustices of the world, in hope of attaining a state of innocence. In Songs of Innocence Blake suggests that by recapturing the imagination and wonderment of childhood, we could achieve the goal of self-awareness... the poems are presented from the views of the world as filtered through the eyes and mind of a child. It can also be inferred that evil can bring forth the loss of innocence. Therefore, one existing similarity is that they both concern the loss of innocence. Of his most well known poems are “The Lamb” from Songs of Innocence, and “The Tyger”, from Songs of Experience. Both poems contain many similarities according to their themes. ...
