- 4591: Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
- ... it. The poem itself is about a Mariner who is telling his tale of sin and forgiveness by God to a man referred to as the "Wedding Guest." The Mariner is supposedly responsible for the death of all of the crew on his ship because of his killing of a creature which was to bring them the wind that they needed to put power into the sails of the ship. The ... and be given a chance to ask forgiveness for his sin. The deaths occurred when a ship was sited and on it two women like figures were playing dice and life won the Mariner and death got the crew. Until he began to pray and ask for forgiveness the crew's souls couldn't enter Heaven but one he did the curse was broken, his life was saved, and Angels came ...
- 4592: Analysis of Keat's "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer" and "On Seeing the Elgin Marbles"
- ... gives it a familiarity that hides its true serene character. He describes how his spirit is weak (mortality) and his wonderful memories have faded in his mind due to worries and unrest at his coming death. It should be said death does play a key role in this poem and is the main reason behind all his dreariness and heavy heart. His self-pity masks the appreciation that he was granted this length of time to ...
- 4593: Romantic Sonnet
- ... a poem using simplicity in its construction more than in its content. In this work, a little girl is being compared to a flower and this simple metaphor shadows the reality of the child's death. The imagery in this poem is also simple in many places; the natural imagery of clouds, stars, flowers, animals and landscape is, again, contrary to the temper of the poem. The simplicity in this poem, like the Blake poem, is related to the ideal situation of the child. The images of the flower and the fawn come in relation to her life after her death and it is here that Nature feels she will be happiest, most innocent, and most like a child should be. As the Romantic movement saw the gradual change from a focus on the past to ...
- 4594: Differences Between 18th Century Literature and Romantic Poetry Seen Through The Works From Alexander Pope and John Keats
- ... readers on a hatred filled epic. A robust piece of literature and love induced psychoses in, "The Rape of Lock." On the other hand, "The Eve of St. Agnes" told a tale of life, love, death, and eternal fate in heaven. These two brilliant writers have given two magnificent poems. Pope exhibits many characteristics of a narcissistic human being. His independence in life shows through his writings in fiction. Which inevitably ... for future considerations. His image of love and old age creates a stifled knot in the stomach of the reader. Enthusiastic resistance is overcome by Keats smooth flow, and harmonizing beauty in heaven. Angels and death are brought together like osmosis. His ability to start off in a cold bitter atmosphere of regret, and then sway the reader's emotion to a peaceful loving atmosphere is in itself astonishing. Desire brings ...
- 4595: An Examination of Similes in the Iliad - and how Homer's Use of Them Affected the Story
- ... scene assumes quite a juxtaposition. A flower-bespangled battlefield? This is perhaps an attempt to show the absurdity of the Greek army, changing positions from fleeing to brazenness as flowers are to the field of death. Near the beginning of Book Three a group of elders of Troy, not fighting material, but skilled orators, are found resting on the tower "like cicadas that chirrup delicately from the boughs of some high ... the sight of the frightened fawns grouped together. But does not one also feel pity for them? This is a wonderful simile that brings home the nervous twitchiness that would denote a person scared to death in such a situation. Later in Book Five there is a great dichotomy of similes. First, Hera comes down "flying like turtledoves in eagerness to help the Argives." followed by a scene surrounding Diomedes where ...
- 4596: Analysis of WH Auden's Poem: Eternal Love
- ... before time. To say that " vaguely life leaks away," the author is possibly attempting to covey that every moment lost cannot be retrieved, that every second that goes by is a second closer to the death of the body and to the death of love. The images of the frozen, cracked landscapes, and the crack in the teacup are examples of lost, passed time. The verdant valleys shall always be sheathed in snow, they cannot resist; and the ...
- 4597: Blake's "The Fly"
- ... by Blake is quite depressing. One can be carefree about their life, yet thinking is the most essential part of man. "If thought is life And strength and breath, And the want Of thought is death;" By having thought shows that we have life. Blake is saying that we must have thoughts and be able to think in order to survive and have a healthy and fruitful life. Once one wants ... on the last words of lines two and four of each stanza. Due to this rhyme scheme the poem's tone is a sad and depressing one. For example, in stanza four the last word "death" is said with an accent giving it more emphasis over the other words. Same in stanza five the word "die" is said with an accent giving the same sad effect. This poem was taken from ...
- 4598: T.S. Eliot's "The Wasted Land"
- ... fragments there are some echo's of the typist and then the verse ends with one word, "burning " (Mack 1760) standing all alone on the page (Cuddy 30, Mack 1750, Martin 109). The 4th verse, "Death by Water", is entirely symbolic of death followed by rebirth. It tells of the corpse that is deteriorated by the sea. The current rising and falling implies regeneration, or hope, for humankind (Kenner 80, Mack 1760). In the 5th verse, "What the ...
- 4599: Anne Wilkes In Stephen Kings M
- ... can achieve over the reader, as personified in Annie Wilkes. Annie comes to embody a mother, goddess, and audience image in the novel. Whatever the circumstance, Annie's crea-tive force will live on. Her death will never be a reality, any more than Mis-ery Chastain's death is a reality.
- 4600: "He Is More Than A Hero": The Love of Lesbos
- ... hurt inside because she is not with her love, and the emotional pain transforms to physical effects. "I drip with sweat; trembling shakes my body and I turn paler than dry grass. At such times death isn't far from me." The speaker goes so far as to consider dying because of the emotional pain she is feeling inside. She gets physically sick from hurting so much, and considers death the only escape. "He Is More Than A Hero" gives readers a brief view of Ancient Greece's views on love. From the poem, it is evident that Greek culture valued love to the point ...
