Let me count the ways.” (Line 1 Sonnet 43) The use of first person, authenticates that both poems are written for a personal response, this however cannot be seen in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ apart from when the characters speak. The use of alliteration in ‘Sonnet 43’, confirms that the poem was written for Browning’s lover. The repetition of “I love thee...” Shows it’s a personal poem for her true love. However, ‘Valentine’ could be interpreted as an open poem to allow the readers to understand the experiences Duffy has faced.

The theme of Poe's '' The Premature Burial " is the terror of awaiting an unknown fate. Poe suffers from catalepsy, a physical condition in which the individual cannot move or speak for hours or, in extreme cases, for months. The 1800's had very few methods when discerning the patient dead or not, this lead to a lot of unnecessary deaths. So frightened himself of the potential fate, Poe resorted to stay awake as much as he could. Eventually Poe falls asleep as it is vital for humans, and the suspense suddenly surrounds the reader.
The narrator explains in the first line that he “may cease to be” and rushes to include he is afraid to die “before [his] pen has glean’d [his] teeming brain”. It almost seems as though Keats was unable to fit his ideas neatly into spaced lines, with punctuation marks because he is afraid to lose valuable time while he is still living.

Almost every time Billy falls asleep, he ends up time-tripping. That could also be explained as having bad dreams or, in some other situation, when he would “time-trip” while being awake, like a nervous breakdown, because soon after he would come to the “present” he would be shaken by someone. Also, it is very hard to distinguish in the movie and book, what actually is “the present”. The scenes in the movie about Billy’s time-trips were counted in “dozen times a day”. He would simply slip from the past and end up somewhere else at a different year, but also, those time-trips were just like visions.
Oedipus had no idea that his real parents were Laius and Jocasta. He was so blind that he got mad at anyone who was foolish enough to suggest such an idea. As soon as Oedipus knew and actually accepted the truth, he blinded himself. Just as Tiresias was blind and open to the truth, so was Oedipus. Oedipus was also physically blind.

He does this by repeating the word 'half' many times throughout the poem. He also goes onto mock the thought of him being 'half' of anything: 'half of mih ear...mih eye...a hand'. He then contrasts this by repeating 'de whole of' three times. In 'Unrelated Incidents', Tom Leonard is trying to show that people discriminate against him because of his different accent.
