Using figurative languages such as symbols and metaphors and combining it with musical devices like repetition, allows Dylan convey the theme of the poem, which is to stir up anger and rage to fight against mortality. Dylan practices the use of metaphors to help provoke anger in his poem. By using metaphors, he is able to say something that has more meaning than using singular words.

However, it can be difficult for someone without depression to understand what is happening to her. Although she fills her poetic novel with feelings related to her depression, she lacks describing what causes her depression; she lacks context of the situation. In order for an author to evoke empathy with all readers they need to be able to place the reader within the perspective of the characters, which Nelson fails to achieve.
