is also an individual’s conflict with society. “Telephone Conversation” presents the conflict between races in society. Both of these are examples of external conflict, which involves more than one person. “Remember”, on the other hand, showed the internal conflict of the speaker on remembering or forgetting. Minor poems used for comparison are “The Right Word” by Imtiaz Dharker which involves both forms of conflict, “Walking Away” by C-Day Lewis is a poem addressed to the poet’s…

The holy sonnet ‘Since she whom I loved’ by John Donne paints God as a domineering and punitive lord who manipulates human life for self-satisfaction. The poem’s rhetorician is conflicted between his physical and spiritual love. Such a struggle creates tension between his sense of loss and hope that the decease of his lover was requisite for God’s plan. Nonetheless, an ambiguity penetrates the poem, suggestive of a subtle yearning. A tension infiltrates the poem whereby the speaker…

Gascoigne depicts his hopelessness, and rather bleak…

Answer to that is…

Emily Dickinson is unquestionably one of the most significant, innovative, and renowned American poets. She did not always receive such high praise, however, as most of her fame and honor was obtained long after she died. While she was alive, she lived most of her life isolated from society as a recluse. During this reclusion, however, she wrote almost eighteen hundred poems, and one of these included “Because I could not stop for Death” (Mays 1187). This particular poem is one of her most…

“Better by far you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad". Discuss. The theme of remembrance is constantly seen in literature works and poetry. Poets depict the importance of memories, and that it is always better to remember than forget. The poems ‘Remember’, ‘Poem at 39’ and ‘A Mother in a Refugee Camp’ give diverse opinions on the significance of memory. In Rossetti's poem ‘Remember’, she is torn apart on whether to remember or not, providing a duo-view on…
