erudite terms are only important in upholding these ideas. The main themes of his "O Captain! My captain!" are death of a hero‚ family‚ a journey‚ and defeat vs. victory. The themes are supported by a variety of concrete stylistic techniques‚ including tone‚ apostrophe‚ allusions‚ archetypes‚ and repetition. Death of a hero is the first theme to consider. It’s obvious the narrator has great respect for the Captain‚ rendered by tones of compassion‚ reverence‚ and ceremony in the poem. "Exult‚ O shores

Dictionary (n.pag.)‚ drama can be defined as‚ “a composition in verse or prose intended to portray life or character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and dialogue and typically designed for theatrical performance.” In the two plays that I have selected‚ drama is definitely a depiction of life.

Monomania‚ as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary‚ is the pathological obsession with one subject or idea. In Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick‚ an obsession causes monomania in its main character. Through his actions‚ words‚ thoughts‚ and what others think about him‚ Captain Ahab is truly monomaniacal.

Barrie‚ have similar characteristics that will be compared and contrasted in this paper. “Lord of the Flies” takes place on a deserted island where about 20 British boys have crashed during World War II.

every rack‚ the prize we sought is won" The poem O Captain! My Captain! Written by Walt Whitman starts out by describing what happened at the begging of his eventful journey in which the captain and his sailors went on. In stanza one the captain and his sailors arrive at their destination point when suddenly the captain falls cold and dead‚ just short of his final destination. If I were to judge why he ended up like that I would say the captain stole a treasure‚ which belonged to someone else.
