My Last Duchess Poem Analysis

The theme is the big idea of the poem. In “The Tide Rises the Tide Falls”, the theme is shown as people coming and going no matter what is happening in the world, and shows man’s purpose and the natural cycle of death. “Snow-Bound” is a poem that can mean many different things, per say with a theme. The way it was perceived to me, was a family trying to create comfort from a huge snow storm.

Although the content of the poems is totally different they still share the same theme of perseverance. Soto’s poem is about a working man who made poor choices in life, but strides to make a difference for his son’s and Fost’s poem displays the changes among seasons and how after a stormy season things are restored. Through the usage of symbolism, setting, and imagery both authors convey the message that through hard work and perseverance everything is worth the struggle. The crippled hands of the cotton field worker that are shaped like binoculars symbolize how the choices we make can affect our future.

The symbols of imagery, dialogue, and physical transformation Butler utilizes express the feelings of jealousy, communication, and regret between the wife and husband. He desired for his readers to connect this to society of how relationships work, second chances, adultery, and weak communication as these things occur in couples. The losing of trust, mystery, and suspicion in relationships can defeat a person to the point of death. Individuals should make the most out of their lives, a life filled with no regrets because life is too beautiful and priceless. It happens fast and is too short to not make the most of

Given these points, men over power women in a hierarchy of the sexes and it shows that women were subservient to men. In act 1 of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Hermia daughter of Egeus is forced into marriage with the man she does not love. She is obligated to marry Demetrius, the man her father wishes her to wed, and not Lysander the man she actually loves. She should marry Demetrius because that is what her father requires her to do “[a]s [Hermia] is mine, I may dispose of her” (1.1.40) being the daughter she needs to obey his wishes and ignore her own.

Frost utilizes analogous imagery throughout his poems; specifically in this poem, he uses natural imagery like the woods and roads to signify these themes. The woods represent indecision and instinct. Everywhere in literature, the plots of novels and poems alike contain characters lost in the woods. Similarly, in “The Road Not Taken”, the woods represent indecision while an adrift traveler wanders lost in the woods (Rukhaya). Frost repeatedly uses this symbol, and “the image...has represented indecision in Frost’s other poems…

Throughout the play he grows wicked because perseverance and ambition have blindsided Macbeth’s way of thought. Honestly Macbeth just wanted to be some kind of authority or higher in power. He was so driven and determined he thought he was basically forced to kill his own friend to get his spot in life, Thane of Cawdor. You could tell when Macbeth was talking to his wife, he became hesitant. This shows Macbeth does have a heart, feelings, and a conscience, but his wife egged him on to “be a man” and those devious traits took over once

Beyonce Knowles once said “Power is not given to you. You have to take it.” Power husbands have over their wives, power a father has over the suitors of his daughters, and the power a beautiful girl has over those who wish to marry her are evident examples of power in William Shakespeare’s play The Taming of The Shrew. Power is a double edged sword. Characters like Baptista Minola use their power benevolently, for the well being and success of his daughters.
