In “Pied Beauty” by Gerald Manley Hopkins and “Composed Upon Westminster Bridge” by William Wordsworth, both poets express their feelings upon the beauty of nature but on different ways. Hopkins fascinates for the variety of nature that God has created for the reason that it makes the nature to be unique in their own way. On the other hand, Wordsworth wonders at the silence and tranquility in nature that breaks through the morning in London. In title of the poem, “Pied Beauty,” we can make an…

Feminist Approach in “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” by John Keats The most amazing aspect about literature is that it can be interpreted in thousands of ways. Because of this, I have chosen a poem that at the first glance has absolutely nothing to do with feminism, but more likely with a romantic ballad. To understand better Keats’ style, I read some other writings and I reckon that he has a lot in common with Eminescu: the love of nature, the subject of mythology (the poem “Hyperion”), the…

In Anita Desai’s cultural and influencing novel, Fasting, Feasting, the author employs literary devices such as figurative language, reluctant speech, and third person point of view in order to characterize Arun’s distasteful experience at the beach. Demonstrating the use of descriptive words in the passage, Desai illustrates Arun’s annoyance with nature while going to the beach. While making his way through the woods, Arun depicts the cicadas’ “shrill” and the birds’ “shrieks” as an unpleasant…

Abstract: Jayanta Mahapatra’s imagery and symbolism heightened the significance of the meaning of his poems. The ancient symbol of fertility stands as one of the most favourite metaphors for Mahapatra. The metaphor of ‘rain’ can be considered as the mirror of the poet’s psychological condition. His use of the metaphor of ‘rain’ finds fine expression in his numerous poems. Rain is an all diffusive metaphor in Mahapatra’s poetry. Rain not only binds man with the universe as a suggestive symbol…

William Wordsworth combines nature and human interaction to paint a vivid picture through the speaker in the poem “I wandered lonely as a cloud”. The speaker is lonely and is wandering in a world that is bare and high over the hills and valleys. He all over a sudden comes across golden daffodils that blow his mind away through what he describes as the best that he has ever seen in his life. The daffodils are life like and the dance moves and cohesion with different parts of Mother Nature only…

Nature’s role in providing may be different in each person’s mind and in this case it is. Marlowe, Raleigh, and Williams all wrote poems having to do with nature and how it provides from gifts to absolutely nothing. Marlowe used figurative language of imagery and irony to express his point on nature. Marlowe also expresses his knowledge on how nature can provide for humanity and other aspects as well. In Marlowe’s poem, he delivers imagery to the audience by saying, “And I will make thee beds…

Gothic novels are known to portray alarming unexpected situations. Going off of that, Shelley did an outstanding job of representing gothic standards in the novel Frankenstein.

In Cousin Phillis, Hope Farm is portrayed as a pastoral idyll, idealising the virtues of rural life that is unaffected by the implied ills of modern civilisation. Unlike Dickens’s dystopian industrial city of Coketown, it is teeming with natural beauty, “so full of flowers” that they overflow from the court and stretch across the pathway to the back of the house (Gaskell 10; pt.1). When Paul Manning arrives at Hope Farm, he is exposed to “the soft September air” that is “tempered by the warmth…

Theories of Motivation • F Taylor: When Taylor began his work on scientific management, workers generally used the methods and tools they felt were best suited to the task.

Taylor broke each job down into specific tasks and timed how long it took a worker to do each task. He then specified exactly how each task was to be done and what…
