    Lines one through four compose the first quatrain, lines five through eight compose the second quatrain, lines nine through twelve compose the last quatrain, and finally the last two lines put together the couplet. This poem has a Shakespearean rhyme scheme which is explained by the matching of end rhymes 'ababcdcdefefgg'. Almost all exact end rhymes excluding lines nine and eleven which are eye rhymes. Line three is a great, simple example of iambic pentameter. The syllables are grouped together in pairs in which the first syllable is unstressed followed by the stressed syllable.…

    The art of poetry is a vast discipline in which the creations of the poets take on a multitude of different forms. Not only are there a large number of poetic structures that an author can choose from, there are also many parts within those structures that can be modified to lead to an even more diverse array of final products. The author has a great many choice when it comes to choosing the structure of their poem, they can vary the number of lines per stanza, the length of each line, and the number of syllables per line. Other variations the poet can make include content changes such as choosing to use rhyming words, repeated sounds like alliteration, and figurative devices such as personification. Even in poetry forms with strict guidelines,…

    Metaphors: “Their eyes as brilliant and as wide as the night”, “Their manes the leaping ire of the wind”. These metaphors convey the etherealness of the atmosphere at that point of time. The poet uses these metaphors to once again compare simple objects with mysterious, eerie elements, suggestive of a dark night ahead. He uses these metaphors as a medium to chill the reader, and make the reader believe that something sinister has been going on in the poem. 12.…

    “The Tell Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat” share many similarities in the plot and narrators. Poe used animals in both stories, and in both stories the narrator is driven to murder an animal or a person with an animal characteristic. However, there are also many differences between the two. In one story, the narrator is being driven to murder by alcohol, while the other simply kills a man because he is paranoid.…

    Deadly Sins of a Heartbeat and a Cat People always think of murder being something that happens out in the open, and isn’t planned but that is not always the case. It always happens that they think that murder is a justification of getting revenge or picking someone at random, but that too is also wrong. Murder doesn’t have to be planned and it doesn’t need to be out in the open to be considered a crime. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat”, Edgar Allan Poe describes this case very well.…

    Edgar Allen Poe was and is a famous American writer who typically wrote short stories and poems; Poe’s works are usually gothic (a sub category of Romanticism, which focuses on uncertainty and dark elements) and are often told by a narrator. Narrators in short stories, poems, or other literary works often unwittingly tell the audience quite a lot about themselves through their word choices, and their mood which can make them unreliable narrators; this is especially true in Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”. When reading “The Raven” it becomes apparent that the narrator (whom we do not know the name of) feels paranoid, melancholic, and even guilty of the loss of someone dear to him that had happened prior to the poem; and that the narrator seems to want to continue to feel dreadful and guilty which causes him to be an unreliable narrator. This is shown through the narrator’s unstable mental state, the poem’s unusual rhyme scheme, and the narrator’s guilt. I will argue throughout this essay that the narrator’s quick descent into insanity…

    Poetry is a very beautiful and unique form of literature, but it often is given a bad reputation. The main reason being is people overanalyze it, instead of taking in the beauty of it. Billy Collins’s poem “Introduction of Poetry” explains how people overanalyze and take away from the beauty of a poem. The speaker suggests ways of reading poetry that allow the reader to understand the poem, but not take away from the beauty of it. Billy Collins quotes “I ask them to take a poem / and hold it up to the light / like a color slide” (lines 1-3) meaning take the poem that is being read and analyze it, but do not analyze it to the point you loose sight of the beauty or “colors”.…

    1. In “The Black Cat,” the narrator says, “There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of man.” The narrator states how his relationships with other people are small and meager. He implies humans are not trustworthy nor are they dependable. In comparison to humans, the author is trying to express how animals are sympathetic creatures who love their owners in an unselfish and self-sacrificing way.…

    There are many examples of consonance throughout this piece such as, “wended” and “descended;” “scraping” and “creeping;” “hither,” “thither,” and “wither;” and “treason” and “reason.” These examples of consonance emphasize these words and add to the overall dreary mood of the poem. True to the fashion of a typical lyric poem, the ABCBDB rhyme scheme creates a very melodic rhythm that parallels both the nature of the leaves and the travels of the speaker. Leaves are often described as floating through the air; similarly, Frost makes the man…
