Comparing The Poetry Of Richard Berengarten And Edgar Allen Poe

In the poem "A Dream," Edgar Allen Poe gives the reader insight to his dark life. Although he has this hard life, he explains that he has this one dream that he always thinks about, which legs him escape from the harsh reality of the world.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder: there can be many different perspectives seen in a poem. One individual could read a poem as depressing and another can perceive it as a new beginning. One’s views rests on individual perspectives. For example, Edgar Allen Poe’s writing is dark and controversial.

The atmosphere and mood of poetry and stories is created by the methods poets use to depict their emotions.

To compare a poem and an excerpt from a larger work, written by two different people, about different topics is to take the focal ideas from both and illustrate how alike they stand. On the surface they seem not to have anything in common, however upon closer inspection they do. They have more in common than the confusion and bewilderment, that through first glance, they left me with. More in common than the long, drawn out, hard to read sentences. And more in common than the words that seem to have no meaning or context.

Edgar Allan Poe’s compilations almost always exhibit moods of despair or sadness, but “Berenice” is one of his works that totally embodies this type of mood. Poe’s story of a delirious, unhealthy, and depressed man has remained a masterpiece over the years and his terror-inflicting diction, gloomy description, and obtuse syntax could easily be the reasons why. “Berenice” will always be one of Poe’s greatest short stories and will forever be praised in American literature due to its memorable mood of hopelessness and

Poems are verbal compositions designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a specific and creative way. They are characterized by the use of the way they are formatted and use literary techniques such as metaphors, similes, rhyme, and personification. With the many rules and forms that poems can have, a lot of them are hard to interpret. In this essay, I want to breakdown two poems’ meaning by comparing their similar underlying message by the authors’ similar styles and experiences. The two poems are The Shoelace by Charles Bukowski and Walking in the Blue by Robert Lowell.

The two poems “The Man he Killed” by Thomas Hardy and Wilfred Owen’s “Anthem for Doomed Youth” both have similar qualities but each have different meanings.

World famous poet, Edgar Allan Poe, once wrote in one of his poems, “From childhood’s hour I have not been. As others were, I have not seen. As others saw, I could not awaken.
