Analysis Of No Love Is Not Dead By Robert Desnos

Decent Essays
I would publish the poem "No, Love Is Not Dead" by Robert Desnos in Cloud Nine Magazine because the author seems to literally be on "cloud nine." The poem is about a man that's madly in love with a woman who doesn't feel the same way about him. In the face of rejection, the author explains that he's had enough of "the picturesque, the colorful, and the charming." He would rather feel the deep and contrasting feelings of unrequited love - "I love love, it's tenderness and cruelty." The author explains that his love is infinite, transcending life and death, -I'm Robert Desnos who wants to be remembered on this vile earth for nothing but his love for you. The author makes clear that loving this woman is the most fulfilling and important

    Lastly, Duffy presents the theme of betrayal by the use of enjambment at the end of the poem. “Love’s Hate behind a white vail,” Love’s hate stands out the most to the audience because of the contrast between the two words, of being positive and negative at the same time. Thus causing the audience to feel confused with the speaker at the events that are unfolding within the poem. The enjambment within the line suggest how separate the two emotions are for the speaker as she battles with the contrast of emotions inside of her.…

    Jessica Risner Heather Ward English 1101-41 October 5, 2015 “Love You Forever” Literary Analysis One of my favorite stories to read to my daughter is “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. The story is about a mother who sneaks into her son’s room, once he is sleeping, and sings a song to him.

    The narrative voice is the perspective of a novel, and it is through this voice that the reader receives and becomes connected to the story. This voice can appear in a variety of ways; for example, one common perspective is first person point of view, through which the narrator speaks directly to the reader by using personal pronouns such as ‘I.’ By creating a character that speaks directly to the reader, they become personally tied to what the narrator is telling them. In this way the reader must come to rely on what the character divulges to them, similar to the way a person might need to when talking to another person. The Feast of Love, by Charles Baxter, takes this common perspective and twists it in a unique and influential way.…

Sepúlveda words prove that nature should not be messed with.…
