Write about the ways Rossetti tells the story in ‘Maude Clare’? The poem ‘Maude Clare’ uses an eponymous character, it is obvious to the reader that Maude Clare has importance within the poem and therefore from the title, it manipulates the readers to value her and have sympathy for her. This is revealed by the frequent appearances of her name in the poem. Christina Rossetti uses the theme of fallen women, as well as empowered women to base her poem around. It is unusual for fallen women to have power because in Victorian times, a women who lost her innocence lost her power and as well as her place in society.
In the poem “To Helen” the author used beauty as a form of diction to show his fascination towards the character. In the beginning of the poem the author used the word “beauty” to describe how the speaker saw Helen. The author as well used the word “Psyche” towards the ending of the poem to emphasize Helen’s beauty since “Psyche” means beautiful princess dear to god. The purpose was to emphasize and show the speakers’ admiration and obsession towards Helen. The tone in this poem is peaceful and graceful for when the author says ”Thy Naiad airs have brought me home” signifies that Helen’s beauty is peaceful and gentle and her air can just take him home.
A simple poem, and seemingly short compared to the other two, it simply tells of the narrator’s views of the young lady he is admiring. Also unlike the other two, Poe uses positive words and rhythms to create an ending mental vision that illustrates Helen to be that of graceful beauty, with her placed in a window with a glowing lamp that signifies to him of the “Holy Land” or Heaven, for which he sees Helen to be the Angel of in representation. However, a poem such as “Lenore” is told in a much more saddening, although not completely depressing element. This poem exemplifies Poe’s more frequent theme of death combined with beauty is presented. Guy De Vere, however, is not completely saddened by the deathly occurrence; but he is rather outraged because he believes that everyone had “wished her dead” due to loving the wealth that she had carried but rather hating the pride that she carried along with it.
The Bonesetter’s Daughter – Critical Analysis Essay One of the most recognized poets of the nineteenth century is Emily Dickinson. Her unique style is what makes her different from every other poet (Haung). Her use of wording is what helps her place meaning into the poems she wrote. Such as, “Much Madness is divinest sense”. When reading this poem it seems short and a bit confusing to the reader, but once the reader finds something to apply it to, doors open to many new meanings.
Just as she used time of day in The Violets, she uses seasons to symbolise a time in her life. Autumn symbolises her middle age. In this stanza she paints a grim picture of her innocence lost as she has become aware of age and death by saying “we stand, two friends of middle age by your parents’ grave in silence among the avenues of the dead.” The reason she has chosen to set this part of the poem at the grave of her friend’s parents because of her love for her own parents, and she deeply empathises with her friend’s loss. It is typical in her poetry that, when the present becomes too miserable, Harwood will transcend the current time and return to a happier memory. However in this poem she cannot find a happier memory and recalls a dream instead, “I dreamed once long ago, that we walked among day-bright flowers.” Her use of positive imagery such as the “day-bright flowers” lightens the mood and achieves the same effect of the memories in The Violets, as she stops thinking of death and causes the reader to forget the unhappy nature of the initial memory and be emotionally moved by the warmth of the following memory where she is “secure in my father’s arms.” In her poems The Violets, Father and Child and At Mornington Gwen Harwood demonstrates through her use of memories, her loss of innocence, the love for her parents and how quickly time moves.
He also demonstrates how various artists are able to portray night as a beautiful landscape and create the opposite feeling of fear. Throughout the essay the author references Van Gogh’s painting of the “Starry Night”, a famous painting that portrays the night as a mysterious beauty. This panting is one of my personal favorites because I feel it captures an aspect of night that many people over look. MacAuley also demonstrates that the night sky is not just simply dark and black. With the various artists, he demonstrates that the night sky is composed of various hues ranging from blue to purple and that it is rich and vivid in color.
