Baudelaire's "The Eyes of the Poor" In Baudelaire's poem "The Eyes of the Poor," the poet Charles Baudelaire creates an image for himself as a poet longing to create a union of souls with a woman whom he loves until the end of the poem.

A Comparison Between the Responses of Charles Baudelaire and John Wieners to Modernization In order to compare the poetry of Charles Baudelaire and John Wieners within the context of modernity, one must recognize the discrepancy between their time periods. Baudelaire was born in Paris in 1821, and much of his work was published after the February Revolution of 1848.

In Charles Baudelaire’s The Eyes of the Poor and Edgar Allan Poe’s Man of the Crowd observance is a common theme that both authors focused on. The observer vs the observed, the man at the cafe vs the poor family, the observer at the D-Coffee-House in London vs the irresistible old man, there is constant observing taking place throughout these two texts, but

creates a suspension of meaning. The act of translation does not in any way signify absolute meaning. Instead, translation gives two different versions of the same text that encourages the reader to decide upon which one best suits their reading. Baudelaire, in similar fashion, offers two different interpretations of pleasure in “The Double Room” that then leads to the piece’s moral suspension. The theme of suspension found in Baudelaire’s “The Double Room” focuses on the morality of decadent pleasure

poverty means "the condition of being poor", modernity means "the state of being modern" and inequality means "lack of equality." These three words are interrelated. Modernity (being modern) is something which only the rich can afford. The poor rarely get a chance of being modernized due to a lack of money and other facilities. Since the poor are not 'modern enough' they are subjected to inequality in everyday tasks. This paper will discuss how the poor are treated and the relationship between
