The author does not write about it, but I can see that Gaston is being misunderstood and judged by his actions and ethics. Because of cultural differences Gaston does not understand the manners at the table, and gets all the attention from the people surrounding him. The writer is being very critical to him, and with the use of dark
While he is not seen as a saint within the poem (he remarks in a sarcastic matter to Plath in the poem), he positions the reader to empathise with him, painting the image that he is the placid one in the relationship, and the one who encourages her to embark on her creative pursuits “Get that shoulder under your stanzas/ And we’ll be away.”. The repeated use of the pronoun “your” creates an accusatory tone, suggesting that they were living Plath’s life, rather than their life. The poem also hints that Plath’s father was a monster. He describes her father as a goblin that influenced and controlled the mind of Plath’s. He even goes one step further
This disappointment could suggest that Larkin writes in a negative way, if he has even at the begging a different opinion than the majority has while expecting a lovestory or an intimate scene in setting of a bed, but definitely not a confusing, stressful scene as Larkin explores. While Larkin is saying “easiest…honest”, he is using the terminology of contrast. The suggestion of his as a negative writer is now proved. On top of it is confusing for the audience, who tries to get over the first stanza of the poem an impression of what you will be expecting and again Larkin disappoints them. It might also suggest that Larkin criticse the society for thinking in the boxes and expecting everytime the usual as thinking ‘talkinf in bed ought to be easiest’.
He’s even developed a little tune he hums to himself, which is a dead giveaway that he has tuned you out. These are automatic forms of miscommunication. You could also call it a lack of communication, or poor communication skills, or frankly ignoring. Depending on your observations, what you read in my essay will help you decide my true agenda. It will be as unique to you as your dental records are, right?
‘My heart turns to its melancholy work’ has been very carefully worded. Melancholy isn’t a word meaning death, depression, hopelessness and despair, it is simply cheerless but not to the point of gloom. So his job is saddening and repetitive, it could be better, he hopes to move forward but don’t we all? ‘The honey gathered’ in my mind is the dreams gathered from the day. The sorrows are the awakenings from these hopes and the reasons behind not going.
The poet incorporates the tone to show that after a person has done wrong, like stealing or cheating, as a reaction, we ask for forgiveness, either because we have real guilt or because we believe we should ask for forgiveness without actually meaning it. Pleasure is personified to illuminate the author’s true feelings about the plum being eaten. “So sweet and so cold” symbolizes that the forgiveness he has asked for wasn’t sympathetic due to the fact that he did not regret eating the delicious plum. Also, the tone that the author produces is teasing, teasing the owner of the plum by expressing how good the plum actually was, and that the owner can’t have it anymore because he ate it. The poet ends with a tone that is inevitable to the theme of the poem.
Thomas begins to think will she remember picking the plant when she is older. The poem starts with almost a third person, authoritative tone speaking about the properties of the herb. The last line of the first stanza is personal, first person ‘And yet I like...’ and the poem is first person throughout. The use of present tense adds immediacy and emotional impact and creates a tension between the now as the poet muses on the herb and the child ‘picks’ it; his thoughts of the past and his speculations about the child’s (and his own) future. The form of the poem Old Man is one way in which Thomas presents memory the structure of the line ‘Old man or Lads-love - - in the name there’s nothing’ uses iambic pentameter however the line ends in an unstressed syllable as opposed to a stressed syllable which is typically used in iambic pentameter, this is characteristic of Thomas who frequently played with traditional poetic structures.
Just like relationships, which also have rules and if they are broken the relationship fails. In Act Two, Scene Three, Friar Lawrence discus’s on how flowers and herbs have good qualities and bad. Just like the people, “with baleful weeds and precious juiced flowers” The weeds can be bad as they are evil and poisonous, whereas the flowers are good and “precious”, By this he is saying that the good times are rare. Friar Lawrence is also commenting on how this can relate to the way that in every relationship there is good and bad qualities. The Laboratory is an example on the relationship between people and revenger.
Stealing the “bust of Shakespeare” also seems ironic to the reader, the thief takes an image of one of the greatest creative talent the world has ever seen, but without any sense of what it stands for. The final line, which recalls the poem's conversational opening, is as if the speaker has sensed not just that the person he is speaking to is disturbed by his confession but also that the reader of the poem doesn't “understand” him. This poem is colloquial but the speaking voice here is very distinct. Sometimes the speaker uses striking images (“a mucky ghost”) and some unlikely vocabulary (“he looked magnificent”) but he also uses clichés (“Life's tough”). Single words are written as sentences
“The Flowers” is not a long story, but it is filled with amazing descriptions and contains a profound message of the lost innocence at the end. One way Walker uses her text to share her point of view is her use of theme, from life to death. In the beginning Myop is happy, signing, and cheerful almost as if she did not have a care in the world. As she wonders along gathering wildflowers the mood changes to gloominess. Walker shows this as she describes the air as no longer keen, but “damp.” A certain “strangeness” and “gloom” is sensed making Myop’s outing “not as pleasant” as usual.
