called The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter. This poetry is the glorious one that expresses the unspoken feelings of someone who have to separate from the lover into a love letter. Undoubtedly, it is a free verse poetry because it does not have a usual rhyme and a rule for stressed and unstressed syllables in the word each a line. It represents…

I have chosen the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost for my deconstruction essay. Deconstruction can be referred to the ‘theory used in the study of literature or philosophy which says that a piece of writing does not have just one meaning and that the meaning depends on the reader’ (Merriam-Webster, 2014). I chose this poem as it very popular and its basic meaning is very famous. The deconstruction of the poem may provide a very different meaning to each reader. Derrida said, ‘In a…

Safety through Love: A Farewell to Arms Often times when people are distraught, troubled, and lost, they tend to look for pleasurable activities to distract themselves with. Ernest Hemingway author of A Farewell to Arms allows his characters to do the same. By means of love and drinking his characters divert themselves from the devastations of the war. But most importantly the characters depend on the act of love. Love, a deep sensation of profound affection between two people and one of the…

Through standing at her window and describing the sketches of nature that she sees, Lowell communicates her feelings of loneliness and struggle of feeling like an outsider. In similar fashion, MacNeice also stands presumably before his window, but instead of personifying the moon, he observes the rain falling and the sound of the rain on the London city streets which inspires him to go on "an imagined journey across the roof-tops of London as religious, moral and metaphysical questions are…

‘Report to Wordsworth’ by Boey Kim Cheng and ‘Lament’ by Gillian Clarke share the common theme of human destruction of nature and death. In “Report to Wordsworth”, Cheng explores the damage of nature caused by men and their reckless attitude, while "Lament” explores damage from the Gulf War. Cheng shows the theme of human destruction of nature as a response to William Wordsworth, a poet who celebrated nature’s beauty in his poetry. It is written ironically in sonnet form, as sonnets are…

Robert Frost Essay. “Why not have it imply everything?” Explain how this comment is reflected in Frost’s poems. Throughout history, all poetry has said something and implied the rest. Robert Frost is famous for writing (in regard to writing poems) “why not have it imply everything”. This is reflected throughout his poems, most notably Mowing and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening as they both have deeper meanings hidden below what is most commonly deduced from an analysis of them. Frost…

Realism which deals with the presentation of things as they are in reality, has found immense presentation in the works of several poets and playwrights especially from the late 19th century to the present day. These writers are in a sense iconoclasts, who want to bring before man the real picture of life and society in their true hue and colour. For them life is never a bed of roses, in fact, they always intend to focus on the hardships and struggles of common man. The Romanticists have always…

This assignment will be considering whether the two poets from the restoration period Sir John Suckling and Richard Lovelace’s poetry contribute to the sense of the ‘cavalier’ and looking closely at Corn’s assessments of both poets and their perhaps royalist connection. Looking at whether their work fit into the tradition of sex and seduction within poetry, in particular, focusing on Suckling’s Encouragement to a lover and Lovelace’s Song to Aramantha. Looking at Corn’s comments of the two…

Pinter’s mind was occupied by a room, a territorial space and power relations which is clearly manifested in his short prose-poem Kullus written at home in 1948. This sense of enclosed room and territorial battle, according to Billington is in association with “Fascist thugs in post-war Hackney” (27) where Pinter and his comrades used to clash with hooligans for survival. (No editing required) Pinter’s acute sense of imagination was flourished in poetry, many of which he composed during this…

“Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” is one of my favorite poems/ sonnets. The poem is in iambic pentameter like much of Shakespeare’s other works. This is significant as it changes the way his audience will read the poem. It almost gives the poem movement, as well as emphasizing certain words and phrases. This movement created by iambic pentameter functions to establish a theme of cycles. These cycles work to parallel the cycles of life. This is…
