Definitely overshadowed by other great characters in a great story written by Kathryn Stockett. Celia Foote’s role in “The Help” fortunately wasn’t unnoticed. In a story so powerful and dominated by the three main charaters of Aibileen‚ Minny‚ and Skeeter… along with the book’s deeply flawed antagonist: Hilly Holbrook. Celia Foote’s role impressively stands out to me. Through the story she’s isolated from what seems to be all of Jackson. She also finds a warm spot in one’s heart for being so beautiful

To Celia is a love poem with a simple four line rhyme scheme (abcbabcb)‚ written in first person. The over all tone of the poem is dreamy‚ optimistic‚ persistent‚ and gullibly innocent. The rhythm is smooth‚ and pensive‚ and seems to fall into an iambic pentameter. The poem gives the reader an intimate sense of this man’s love‚ and obsession for the woman of his desire‚ Celia. I interpreted this poem as having a theme of lost love. I imagined that Celia is his ex-lover‚ he still is in love with her
