Definition Of Love Figurative Language

The acceptance of love has the power of transforming an individual to demand of that same love. The social context of the 1850’s was seen to be emphasised on individual’s emotions and rebellion against established social rules and convections which was evident in her open declarations of love and demanding’s of love which was a concept of idealised love. The notion of idealised love transforming an individual is presented in the ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’. Sonnet 14 as Elizabeth Browning urges her lover to not love her for any particular reason other than “love’s sake only”. In the Octave, the first line is EBB talking directly to whom she loves and she uses high modality in the word ‘must’, making it seem like she

Love is not always an easy adventure to take part in. As a result, thousands of poems and sonnets have been written about love bonds that are either praised and happily blessed or love bonds that undergo struggle and pain to cling on to their forbidden love. Gwendolyn Brooks sonnet "A Lovely Love," explores the emotions and thoughts between two lovers who are striving for their natural human right to love while delicately revealing society 's crime in vilifying a couples right to love. Gwendolyn Brooks uses several examples of imagery and metaphors to convey a dark and hopeless mood that emphasizes the hardships that the two lovers must endure to prevail their love that society has condemned.

“Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims is an excellent of example of an author using many types of literary terms to emphasize his theme of a love that is imperfect yet filled with acceptance. In, this poem Nims uses assonance, metaphor, and imagery to support his theme of “Imperfect, yet realistic love”.

It is certainly implied that both of these poems are concerned with the ideal of true love, but we have seen that they differ quite dramatically with the authors' mindset and themes which they are attempting to portray. Both poems revolve around the consistency of love, whether existent or not, though their discrepancies are valid, it is these discrepancies, which provide readers with the conception and comprehension of what true love really is.

6. The theme of this poem is about love but particularly the expression of love. The speaker can seem cruel to someone who does not understand him or what he is trying to say but he is expressing his love to his mistress and him knowing his true intentions is all that matters. The speaker expresses his love towards his mistress in the way that he wants or feels most comfortable with. The purpose of the poem is to show that love can be expressed in many ways because there is no specific way to do it.

In the poem “Modern Love,” the English writer, George Meredith, writes about the love-less marriage of two people silently, suffering. Meredith uses strong metaphors and figurative language to convey his pessimistic view of love and his idea that marriage equates death.

Through the use of poetic devices such as repetition or alliteration, the author originally describes what love is not capable of providing and defines love as unnecessary but by the end of the poem, the author reveals that love has some value.

A contract is an agreement made with an intention of legal rights and obligations which the law will enforce. It contains the agreement, consideration and intention. It also have some other things to consider, like capacity of parties, genuine consent or legality of object.

The mythical allusion of a phoenix, ‘until their lengthening wings break into fire’, symbolises the rejuvenation of love and reflects the concept of spiritual love and fulfillment that were revisited in the Victorian period. Additionally, in Sonnet XXI, the poet continues to declare aspects of spiritual desire where she assert that affection should not be expressed in words but rather, it should be felt and experienced spiritually. This is manifested through the personification of spring, ‘in all her green complete!’ alluding to the birth of Aphrodite, the goddess of love born from the green sea, implying that EBB’s desire to be loved is served as not only earthly but also divine. This is reinforced by ‘love me also in silence, with thy soul,’ emphasising the transcendence of love the persona wishes to achieve; a metaphoric sense of constancy and a love that is felt silently which suggests the desire to be loved both physically and

The first thirty-two lines of the poem rhetorically ridicule love, looking at it practically and using strong educated language to describe lovers'

Although Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, ‘O-were I loved as I desire to be’, was written in 1842, the theme can be compared to Rostand's novel, Cyrano de Bergerac, written fifty-five years later. Both Alfred Lord Tennyson and Rostand are urging the reader to consider that love isn't as easy as it seems. However Lord Tennyson addresses this theme through the use of Imagery and Rostand relies on Personification. From Start to finish, metaphors are used to emphasize the theme of love in the book, “Cyrano de Bergerac” and the poem “O-were I loved as I desire to be.” For example, the author uses the quote “A little longer!

I read this poem and was immediately drawn to it. Love is such a powerful feeling although, as the author explains it is not everything. It can not feed us or keep our bodies living. The author explains how we crave it and how "yet many a man is making friends with death"(7). I think the author is saying that we feel like we need love that we can not live without it. With this she is using the thematic mode. I think the author also uses the visual mode and example of this is "Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink"(1) We visualize that we need the food to live, but that love is not that kind of need.

　　 In the beginning of the poem, the speaker presents love as a subjective matter by contrasting it with the significant image of the star, a symbol of divine objectivity. Since long ago, man has learned to observe stars for its “steadfastness” for directions and guidance (1). Thus in western culture, star is seen as a prophetic divine existence, a form of absolute truth or universal rule, above all arbitrary and relative beings on earth. The speaker then implies love to be the opposite by emphasizing the star’s incapability of worldly emotions and personal perspectives by applying the metaphor of “Eremite” (4). The stoic hermit or recluse under religious vow sacrifices personal feelings and preferences in order to obtain absolute truth. Hence, the speaker perceives love as a subjective matter, unrelated to the absolute. In line 6, the metaphor of “mask” also proves such assumption: Only by covering the objects, the snow, amorphous

This contrasts sharply to the attitudes portrayed in ‘A kind of love some say’. The last stanza of the poem shows the persona talking about emotional pain, ‘Sadists will not learn that Love, by nature, exacts a pain, Unequalled on the rack. This shows us that the emotional pain of love can be worse than the actual physical pain described in the poem. This shows the

The structure of this poem is rather notable. It mimics the structure of a Clare sonnet, fourteen lines, iambic pentameter, AABBCCDDEEFFGG rhyme scheme. Both Italian and Shakespearean sonnets tended to be love poems. However, the Clare sonnet doesn’t quite fit properly with either, it’s a touch more simplistic in nature, which lends this poem something akin to irony. This poem isn’t simply a love poem, it’s poem about the frustration of love along with being a cautionary tale. It has a more
