Anne Sexton uses symbolism, irony, and repetition to strengthen her poem, “Cinderella” overall. Although other techniques were used by Sexton, these stood out the most in aiding the coming together of her poem. Different authors and poets use various techniques to strengthen their literary works. Many poets rely on literary devices to hook or grab their reader’s attention to keep them interested in the poems or stories. Every writer has his or her own way of writing and illustrating a path for their readers to stroll down with the interest in their works, and Anne Sexton successfully did this in her own way.
