In the poem “Singh Song!”, the poet uses repetition to show the persona of Singh as being very personal and intimate when he spends the little time that he has with his “newly bride”. The repetition of the word “baby” tells the reader that Singh is happy being married to his wife and that he gives her a high status in his life. The repetition of “my bride” is triple refrained which perhaps suggests that Singh has a surprising nature about his wife. This creates an interesting character as it tells us that he is willing to stop working and go against his father’s orders just to spend time with his wife. Despite the criticism he receives from his customers, Singh seems to hold his wife as a major and main priority in his life and could suggest that his emotional and mental wellbeing depends on his wife.
“Les grands seigneurs” is about the relationship between men and women and romantic love. Initially the poem seems to be a celebration of courtly love, but a twist suggests marriage changes everything. The title tells us that the subject of the poem is men because it translates as “The great lords”. The first eight lines of the poem describe men in elevated and hyperbolic language. However there is a change in tone of the final stanza.
Poetry and drama have a few key features that emphasize their per formative nature. One is the use of rhyme, rhythm, meter, alliteration, and other types of sound symbolism. For example, in Gwendolyn Brooks' "We real cool", the poet uses a strong rhyme scheme, a consistent meter, and an almost sing-song tone to demonstrate the lack of education of the narrator and his or her youthfulness. It also emphasizes the last line "We die soon.". Another is in "unity of action".

People say that, “Dogs are a man’s best friend.” That might be true, but dogs are not only the animal friend whose companionship people enjoy. Despite what dog lovers believe, cats are great house pets. People say, “Well, dogs can do stuff, like fetch and play tricks.” Does that mean that cats can’t? Cats can do tricks just as well as dogs can if the owners have the patient to train them. April 11th 2004, Loti Donald taught his cat to play dead, roll over and fetch.
the narrator from “The Black Cat” expresses, “Pluto -- this was the cat's name -- was my favorite pet and playmate.” and after the event of the narrator’s first wrongdoing towards the cat the narrator recounts “When reason returned with the morning -- when I had slept off the fumes of the night's debauch -- I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty; but it was, at best, a feeble and equivocal feeling, and the soul remained untouched. I again plunged into excess, and soon drowned in wine all memory of the deed.” Through this we see the effects of mental deterioration partnered with alcohol and the destructive pattern it
Shakespeare tends to write in blank verse when the character is calm and then switches to prose when there is a spin of emotion. This also suggests that blank verse can be used for higher status characters but prose can be used for things like accusations. However, in Havisham Duffy uses four equal length paragraphs which shows how controlled the speaker seems to be until the reader gets down to the very last line in the last stanza. “b-b-b-breaks” suggests that the speaker is losing control of her feelings. The repetition of the letter “b” is suggests that she may be starting to cry thinking about the things that happened in her past.

In “Hour” the narrator describes an hour spent between her and her lover, and how the feeling of love they share between them is so strong it nearly manages to stop time. Whereas in “To His Coy Mistress” the narrator is telling the woman who he loves that she shouldn’t play hard to get because there isn’t enough time in the world. His feelings of physical passion grow throughout the poem as he tries to persuade her to have sex with him while they are still young and attractive. Form and structure are used effectively in both poems to show feelings and emotions to their lovers.

For example, in stanza 2, instead of saying “My life is dreary”, Tennyson replaces it with “The night is dreary”. However the rest of it is the same (with the exception of the last stanza). The refrain of the poem functions like an incantation, which contributes to the atmosphere of enchantment. It highlights her dull, bleak and melancholy life. Moreover, it features her longing for courage to face death.
