They say the best part of the pie is having a piece of it in the play The Hairy Ape Eugene O 'Neil talks about the unequal social economic class between the rich and the poor in the standpoints of the characters. The play mainly focuses on Yank which is one of the dirtiest workers there and also seems to have an accent which separates him from the rest of the crew as the plays go there is one more character that has a huge influence on Yank, and that is Mildred. The daughter of the owner of Nazareth Steel the company that Yank works for. In the play, Mildred calls Yanks a beast which infuriates him, however, his colleagues claim that she called him a hairy ape. However, O’Neil paints a picture in our head how the poor lower class people work …show more content…
Vincent Millay is a poem that seems to be all over the place we can begin with the title because candles and figs don 't seem to go in anybody 's head simultaneously. When thinking of a fig one might think of a body shape most likely of a woman I also think where the speaker might be women. There is no clear answer because the speaker just refers to “it,” but figs look like women there for the reader can assume the speaker is women. The candle that burns might mean the reader is trying to find a lovely light for both friends and foes that when the two ends meet the speaker 's friend and foes might come together because she is “[giving] a lovely light.” The speaker is holding the candle so they might come together sooner than they might …show more content…
In the poem “What Lips Have Kissed, and Where, and Why?” the speaker talks about how she is older and sad that she did not find love. The first line of the poem seems to say it all how sad she because love could not be found and time has gone and most of her physical beauty is gone. The speaker has also “forgotten…what arms have lain.” The presence, if any has been forgotten to be hugged by another is gone. I think that the strongest line is “I cannot say what loves have come and gone,” making the reader think if the speaker even had a lover. At least she loved someone than never loving at all. In “Love Is Not All: It Is Not Meat nor Drinks,” the speaker talks about how love is something we do not need like food or everyday necessities. However, love is something that is part of human nature and has some type of value, but its value is not as worth it 's as some other things. Like death, according to the speaker is then we become friend with because, the speaker is willing to sell love for peace, saying that peace, peace of death or peace of not loving. In the poem “In Just-“ by E.E Cummings sounds and look really creepy when thinking about it. It sounds like there are clowns after kids remind 's me of the movie “It” from Stephen King. However, that is not what this poem talks about in reality try to paint a picture of the first day of spring or summer, and imagine going to the park you will see the “little lame balloonman.” Standing out in the park selling balloons,
Immediately following the statement they kissed each other's necks is the statement that the girls also 'We sucked each other's breasts, and we left marks, and never spoke of it upstairs / outdoor, in daylight, not once' (11). The clear and simple statement that the girls sucked each other's breasts extends into a longer sentence, which generates the sense of the intensity of the memory dissipating and the desire generated in the action remains unfulfilled. This is immediately followed with another affirmation, present again in a sentence which extends itself: 'We did it, and it was / practicing, and slept sprawled so our legs still locked or crossed, a hand still lost / in someone's hair' (11). The first line of this pair perfectly manifests the tension between memory and loss which is present in the poem. The line break after the word 'was' presents a reading of the words before it as simply an affirmation that the desire between the girls and their physical intimacy actually and really existed.
• Identify any literary devices (symbolism, allusions, or metaphors/similes). - In the poem E.E. Cummings uses a lot of symbolism, throughout the entire poem the speaker is figuratively carrying around his lover’s heart, it shows unity between the two lovers, and Cummings starts and ends the Poem with almost the same line, showing from the begging to the end, the speakers love for his lover. - E.E. Cummings also refers in the last stanza to a tree of life, from a root grows larger than a soul or a mind. Roots and buds are symbolic to the start of life, and since the tree is higher than our souls and mind, it is referring back to the speakers love for his lover something not contained in this world, that branches out.
The poems “Forgotten” and “Hanging Fire” demonstrate the possibilities of the similarities and differences that two different topics can represent. The two poems ‘Forgotten” and the poem “Hanging Fire” by Audre Lorde, share a similarity of a parent's absence. In “Forgotten” the text states, “...nobody else’s dad had gone away nine years ago./ Nobody else’s dad had been so loved by a four-year-old./ And so forgotten by one/ now/ thirteen.”
Which ties in with the thesis that in life love has no restrictions, reaching you even in your darkest
(Rand 37). This quote is a powerful moment in the book as it shows the connection between love and the freedoms that come with it, the love that was forbidden in previous chapters fulfills what he was
To love so much, yet to have those feels not returned is such an embarrassment and is painful. In George Gascoigne's poem For That He Looked Not upon Her, expresses the pain of the narrator by using an a,b,a,b pattern, imagery, and elements of light. With Gascoigne's poem, he uses an a,b,a,b pattern. The reason why he would do this is so that the poem has an easier flow. For example he wrote,"...again with fire...grievous is the game...dazzled by desire...down my head."
The poem begins with the narrator crying in desperation for “happiness” to her mother, “Oh mother, mother, where is happiness?” (1). When asking about happiness, it is commonly questioned as what is happiness, rather than “where” it is. by asking “where is happiness”, the narrator is looking for a place to go. It is inferred that happiness was when she was with the lover, but now that he is gone, the happy place is gone as well.
In the novel it displays a numerous amount of evidence that shows how love is and what true love is to Janie and her spouses. In the story it states “Love is like the sea. Its a moving thing, but still in all it takes it shape from the shore it meets and is different with every shore.” (191) Ch. 20. This quote explains and shows how love is mysterious and shows what love is and how some people find it.
The love is categorized as a deeming and damning affection therefore mastering the hardship of what love is or is perceived to be. Looking at the first stanza, one is able to notice that it starts off very romantically. In line 1 the poet, Cynthia Zarin, refers to her man as ‘My heart’ and ‘my dove’. ‘My heart’ indicates how much the poet’s lover means to her as a heart is sustenance for life. The poet also makes it clear that the love is pure in line 1 by referring to her lover as
This Elizabethan sonnet by George Gascoigne is a tortured self-confession of one “He” who “looked not upon her.” Gascoigne effectively illustrates the speaker’s paradoxical feelings for a woman through a series of literary devices such as extended metaphors, imagery, and alliteration, developing an easily identifiable conflict between the speaker’s desire for his lover and fear of being hurt again. The first stanza introduces us to the central paradox of the poem: why does the speaker “take no delight” in ranging his eyes “about the gleams” on his lover’s beautiful face? To answer this question, the speaker employs two extended metaphors that vividly illustrate this conundrum.
“Oxygen” by Mary Oliver is a love poem about her lover’s breathing problem and the love they share. The poem carries a gentle and somber tone as it journeys through the stanzas. Oliver makes good use of metaphors and images to convey her emotions so that the reader can experience her feelings. The opening image I get while reading this poem is of an evening scene in a room lit by only the flames of firewood sitting in the fireplace.
Also how the heart of the men is a cage in the past men were afraid to show their true emotions towards someone they really like. The seventh line is more of how the love can be consumed for long periods of time, being a trap in an amulet fill with so much emotion. Mentioning again the eight line being “one perfect rose”, all the feeling are in the rose with no words. The last four line is the shift in the feelings of the women again. The ninth line is a question without a question mark, referring to the women waiting for someone to give her something, asking for anyone, the change of the attitude.
No matter the strong pull of love though, Meursault escapes its grasps though his lack of empathy and basic human connections. This ideology is shared by those around Meursault: such as how Salamano lost his wife and “He hadn’t been happy with his wife, but he’d pretty much gotten used to her (1.5.44).” Meursault knows that love is only temporary and knows that love means nothing in life and cannot change anything: “That evening Marie came by to see me and asked me if I wanted to marry her. I said it didn’t make any difference to me and that we could if she wanted to (1.5.44).” He does accept that love is something tangible but understands that there is no significance to it, how it has no reason, and is not required for living.
In reality when our beloved people leave us, we feel the same sadness of missing them from the beginning and the rest in our life. In the next line “cause love comes slow and it goes so fast” here love is the sign of happiness and it is so hard to find the happiness but we lose it very easily. “Well you see her when you fall asleep, but never to touch never to keep” remind us the person left us forever, but still they are in our mind but we cannot touch them. It also shows that although we feel guilty, but in reality whatever or whoever goes it never comes back.
Love can exist as affection, infatuation, obsession, pleasure and in many other ways, as love is abstract. Hence, there is no one single interpretation of love. Love is a theme that has been embedded into language and literature over the centuries, yet due to the ever changing perception of love people continue to search for a universal definition of love. Poems are able to showcase the inner feelings and desires of a poet as well as their own unique views on love. Nevertheless, through poems “La Belle Dame sans Merci” by John Keats, “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning, “Mother in a Refugee Camp” by Chinua Achebe, “The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!”
