    We know very little of the old man. From the opening few paragraphs the reader can comfortably surmise that the old man has some amount of wealth (as the narrator pointedly notes that he had no want of his gold. Further one may conclude the old man was of a generally nice manner as he had never wronged nor insulted the killer. The last piece of knowledge we have concerning the old man is that he a has a pale blue eye with an opacity over it.…

    “The Tell-Tale Heart”, written by Edgar Allan Poe, was initially published in 1843. The story is told by the narrator in 1st person to someone of importance but is never actually known whom he is telling the story to. The narrator explains, in extreme detail, how and why he killed the old man. The purpose is clearly stated, in the second paragraph, but the old man, his eye, and the old man’s death actually are symbols. After careful analysis we will discover that the old man is not real, but an image in the narrator’s mind, that the eye symbolizes his guilty conscience.…

    William Butler Yeats' The Cap and Bells depicts the behaviour of love through an account of actions between a jester and a Queen. Through the use of many symbolic references, the characters reflect a lover's actions to his loved one. His use of a jester in love shows us that Yeats is portraying the actions of humans in love as foolish. Through this song-like ballad, the reader strongly feels the growing despondency of the jester and the eventual affection of the queen. Yeats uses a strong use of symbolism to suggest that love makes a fool out of every man. From forfeiting the soul, the heart and finally his own identity, Yeats emphasises the willingness to sacrifice all the elements of existence to feel the passions of love.…

However, there is another side to the feeling we call love that isn't so joyous. The other, darker side of love is expressed by three Langston Hughes poem which show us the heart-break, the abandonment and the desperation associated with falling in love.…

    From the beginning of the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart, Florence Blakeley has provided humor in the form of a sort of town gossip who revels in sticking her nose in other people's business and providing commentary on the way in which everyone lives or should live his/her life. Although she does tend to meddle, her heart is always in the right place. And last year, I had the honor of interviewing Loretta Walsh, the woman who breathes life into this beloved character. Just this past week, Loretta took some time to answer some additional questions concerning "Feisty Flo" and season four of this record-breaking Hallmark series. But we discussed a bit more than the show...…

    Since the beginning of human existence love has earned a meaning of pure bliss and wild passion between two people that cannot be broken. Through out time the meaning of love has had its slight shifts but for the most part, maintains a positive value. In the poem “Love Should Grow Up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields,” the author, Susan Griffin expresses that this long lost concept of love is often concealed by the madness of everyday life and reality. In the poem, Griffin uses many literary elements to help convey the importance of true love. The usage of imagery, symbolism, and other literary techniques really help communicate Griffins’ meaning that love is not joyous and blissful as its ‘s commonly portrayed but often broken by the problems in our everyday lives.…

    The diction used in Keats and Longfellows’ poems are both simple and modest, but the delivery that they give the reader makes it easier to find themes and ideas that contrast. Keats uses the words, “pen”, “unreflecting love”, and “high romance” to render the theme of the acceptance of death. Meanwhile, Longfellow uses the same difficulty of diction,…

This proves that Mr. Van Daan is selfish and that he is willing to sell one of his wife's prized possessions for a couple of cigarettes. Peter states, “Maybe Mouschi went back to our house.”…

    “Love is not all” by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a sonnet about love written in iambic pentameter, with traditional structure and follows traditional sonnet rules. It expresses the confusion and emotion of the poet in a way to give the reader the idea that he has suffered or is suffering. It also goes from speaking broadly about love, to making it more specific and then finally making it personal with the last line. After the first eight lines of the poem the speaker completely flips the way the poet feels about the theme. The poet used alliteration and repetition to further emphasize the theme.…

    “Love is not all” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, is a sonnet consisting of 1 stance and 14 lines in total. The poetic devices that the sonnet possesses in order to convey its theme are metaphors and imagery. The first device that Millay uses is metaphors where Millay compares love to everything that we believe that aren’t true about love. Such examples are included in the first and second line of the sonnet where, “it is not meat nor drink. Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain” (Millay, 1931). These examples are established in the sonnet in order for Millay to inform the reader that love is not all the things that you think it is, but instead the opposite. These examples start from the first line all the way to line seven where Millay then mainly puts focus on the second device, imagery. Even though there is imagery used throughout the entire sonnet, the last couple of lines is when this device is mostly put to effect towards what love does to the significant other. These examples are revealed to the…

    Of all the themes in poetry, one that is most commonly used and stands out quite a lot is love. T. S Elliot once quoted “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion”. As such, it is no wonder that the themes of unrequited love and despair are very prominent in poem La Belle Dame sans Merci by John Keats. In this poem Keats clearly denotes his personal rebellion against the pains of love and revealed the sad reality that; in pleasure, there is pain. This paper will take a closer look at one of the most prominent themes in La Belle Dame sans Merci; Love and Despair.…
