Waking” by Theodore Roethke are two poems that relate directly to the speaker. Although both poems share this similarity‚ the way in which both works or literature are constructed are vastly different. Plath uses visual imagery and poetical tercets to show the pain and suffering of the speaker in her poem‚ while Roethke uses the musical Villanelle and synesthesia to create his picture of the speaker’s inner thoughts and a sense of awakening.
