For many centuries, writers find poetry in a way to express their feelings or thoughts. Different poets use different techniques to strengthen their writing in order to draw readers to their works. The uses of different literary devices play a role in strengthening a literary work. Devices such as metaphors, similes, imagery, and irony are just a few examples of common literary devices that aid in successful literary works. In “Cinderella” by Anne Sexton, the poem uses symbolism, irony and repetition to strengthen the poem overall.
