Indian English poetry since 1970 has been characterized by failure, hopes and despair, immediacy and anger, search and struggle for identity, human relationship and growing sense of dissatisfaction. It is a kind of strong reaction against romanticism and idealism of its predecessors. It not only tries to establish individuality and reconceptualise values but also tries to redefine culture. Poetry consists of verbal and contextual features, choice of words (diction), syntactic and semantic…

One of the themes during the Modern era for many writers was a lack of connecting or a lack of communication. “The Dead” by James Joyce and “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S.

Alfred Prufrock is a lonely old man who regrets the things he has not done in life. He believes he should have done more with his life. Throughout the poem, T.S. Eliot uses diction. A really good example is, “A…

In T.S Eliot's poem, “ The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” the tone of a reflective, bitter, and morose man is achieved through the use of epigraphs, imagery, allusion, metaphor , and diction. J. Alfred Prufrock is followed through his night, romanticizing what could have been. To develop the tone of reflectiveness the love song opens with an epigraph from “Dante’s Inferno”, which is about Dante trying to talk to Guido about the atrocities Guido committed in his life; Guido is resilient to…

people that could be their weakness. The more I learn about myself there is more to learn about becoming a better leader.

painting. A young pale skinned woman, in a silk black dress with two thin chained straps, had gripping onto the front of the dress, which looked to me like she was showing her figure and the bustle of the fabric.

It portrayed that married women could be loose and show such expressions around other men. The models name was…
