Melissa Morelli Lacroix's A Most Beautiful Deception

As Wendy Martin says “the poem leaves the reader with painful impression of a woman in her mid-fifties, who having lost her domestic comforts is left to struggle with despair. Although her loss is mitigated by the promise of the greater rewards of heaven, the experience is deeply tragic.” (75)

The poem then transitions to the post-marriage life of the couple in stanza two. In lines eight through ten, the speaker states that she is too shy around her husband. Not only does she not smile, but also she does not answer her husband when he calls her. This shows that the speaker's life took a great emotional transition, as she is overly shy and feels uncomfortable around him. However, around the middle of the second stanza, the speaker transitions into another stage of

When a reader grasps a theme throughout any piece of literature, he or she never clearly understands the intent without knowing where the theme came from. The theme that is portrayed in the poem is, often times reconnecting with a loved one cannot only bring happiness, but it can also bring sorrow. This theme was emphasized throughout the poem and without knowing the historical context of the poem, one could not necessarily understand where it came from. In the text it

The author persuades people to use their head before just using the words heart or love to give the word its true meaning. Carruth also displays what happens to words when they tend to be misused which is that they usually lose their value over time if they are not of great importance. Through his writing style in the poem, Carruth shows how people freely use the word “heart” and how it affects the meaning of the word. He opens and closes the poem with a question, refers to the heart as 'it' in the first stanza, and shows uncertainty of the importance of the heart in the first stanza as well.

The poem’s structure as a sonnet allows the speaker’s feelings of distrust and heartache to gradually manifest themselves as the poem’s plot progresses. Each quatrain develops and intensifies the speaker’s misery, giving the reader a deeper insight into his convoluted emotions. In the first quatrain, the speaker advises his former partner to not be surprised when she “see[s] him holding [his] louring head so low” (2). His refusal to look at her not only highlights his unhappiness but also establishes the gloomy tone of the poem. The speaker then uses the second and third quatrains to justify his remoteness; he explains how he feels betrayed by her and reveals how his distrust has led him

The poem has a lyrical quality to it but it's never presented in an overly complex. L'Esperance is pretty straightforward and intense with her words but she does so in such a manner that I find harmonizing and tranquil even with how dark her theme is here there is still this sense of tranquility and hope that resonates within the poem. By the end of the poem it's made to seem that the narrator in L'Esperance's poem found momentary peace even if it is in a dream. Throughout the whole book she struggles with the loss and disappearance of her mother. But like in this poem the tone is never written to seem as if she is angry with her mother for disappearing but there exists simply a deep sadness of having lost her. Which is contrasted with at the end with this section of the

     Chopin introduces the story with pleasant images and events; she enchants the reader with fairy tales. A woman who cannot have children is blessed with the most “beautiful and gentle, affectionate and sincere” (31) of

In the beginning of the poem, the woman talks about being separated by, "friend" and a "lover. " We start to notice her tone change completely about those words near the end of the poem when she begins using those exact words in a more sarcastic way. The poem takes a drastic turn in section 42-50 when she starts to desire some type of revenge on her "friend." She starts to hope happiness to hie only later to become sufferage and hurt sorrows his way. The sentence that mostly impacts the story is her usage of friend.

The author is trying to convey the mixture of emotions when one losses someone the loved, all the loneliness and resentment that goes along with the desire to make things go back to how they were. From the authors tone its seem as though her husband has abandoned her, and while she wants to bring him back, she know that things will never be the same. She is filled with loneliness as she thinks of him, and contemplate all of the happy lovers in the world, all of them so oblivious of what they have. "Here my lord’s leaving often fiercely seized me. There are friends on earth, lovers living who lie in their bed, while I walk alone in the light of dawn under the oak-tree and through this earth-cave, where I must sit the summer-long day" (119).

I am a musician and composer. My work allows me as an artist to use music as an inherent and universal means of communication to invoke my audience in a period of time on an emotional level. I choose music because I feel an image can be interpreted in a plethora of ways while music generally elicits a unanimous emotion that convey a theme instead of being restricted to one central focus. Bheetoven’s, Moonlight Sonata was written for a Countess Giulietta Guicciard whose beauty he said, reflected that of the moon. The musical composition envokes a sense of elegance and imperfection. Like that of an image of nature in a glass of water one could conclude deduce that Bheeetoven’s composition invoked beauty in both its radiance and imperfections.

The movement and the splendor of this poem determined by Prufrock is talking about love in poetic manner, but also insecurely. He starts with saying You and I and at the end says We with a sad ending involving the readers. For example, “We have lingered in the chambers of the sea” (l.129) saying that subterranean level which is deep down like Dante’s hell mentioned in the beginning and the lower things mentioned throughout the poem. He also goes back and forth by revealing his emotions in sensitive tone. He also confuses the past, present and the future at the same time. For example, he mentions that “Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoon, / I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;” (ll.50-1). He is an example of

The poem supports the theme of the meaningless relationships, and now the neglect ion by the young man on the account of the older lady, who gropes in vain for communication. Such effects can call upon the futility of the relationship that may exist between the modern man and woman. The descriptions of the events suggest that the poem also lacks a cohesive plat, yet still unified by the tone of tragedy of the woman. There is no outcome of the Endeavour in this poem. There was no conversation that leads

In Sylvia Plath’s free verse poem “Daddy”, the speaker, assumingly a female, kills their father’s memory through a metaphorical murder. Plath employs multiple themes, dark and violent imagery as well as war to emphasize the speakers internal struggle with her father and his memory. Plath incorporates multiple themes within her poem to highlight the someone to social issues occurring at the time it was written as well as emphasize the nature of her relationship with her father. Freedom and confinement a prominent subjects in Plath’s piece. In the first stanza, the speaker describes her father as a black shoe.

Music is a very powerful tool. It has the power to bring happiness or sorrow. It can stir up old memories that someone has forgotten. In Berlioz’s case he uses one of his most famous pieces, Symphonie Fantastique to tell a story. Berlioz combines the use of instrumentation, rhythm and dynamics in a stunningly effective way that conveys to the listener a tragic tale of an artist, whose true love didn’t reciprocate his feelings leading him down a path of self destruction.
