There are many literary devices that are scattered throughout the song “Satisfied” that adds up to make the theme. First of all, Renée sings at the end of the song “I will never be satisfied.” This lyric suggests it being a symbolistic literary device, showing how Angelica will never be satisfied, due to her sister, Eliza, getting married to the man she fell in love with. Seeing how Angelica is described as a type of woman who is strong and empowering, this lyric shows her feeble side, a side that she never really shows to others (Goldsberry). Furthermore, the lyric “Where are you taking me?/I’m about to change your life/Then, by all means, lead the way” is sung earlier in the song. The seemingly happy lyric actually has a deeper meaning to …show more content…
This lyric is comparing Franklin’s discovery of electricity with the key and a kite to her relationship with Hamilton, two things that likely aren’t meant for each other, but when put together, make a stunning thing (Goldsberry). Paradoxically, there is a simile within the melody, which is the lyric “I remember that dreamlike candlelight/Like a dream that you can’t quite place.” This lyric compares the candlelight at where she had meet Hamilton, at the Winter’s Ball, to a dream you cannot quite place, which might suggest that she didn’t remember the surroundings quite well or that she is blocking the memory. To be honest, it is difficult to say which one it is (Goldsberry). By all means, the last lyric that has a literary device is the lyrics “As I romanticize what might of been if I hadn’t sized him up so quickly/At least my dear Eliza is his wife/At least I keep his eyes in my life.” The batch of lyrics show that though Angelica never got to win the heart of Alexander, she is happy that the love of his life is her sister and that they are getting married. But most importantly, she gets to keep him in her life, being able to see his eyes for all times.
In brief, Renee Elise Goldsberry’s vocals mixed with the heartwrenching lyrics makes this ballad a masterpiece. With all the literary devices, it’s clear to say that the theme is about never being
I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to
It explains how Eliza burned all the love letters between Alexander and Eliza. Later in the song, Eliza mentions her sister Angelica saying “You have married an Icarus He has flown too close to the sun.” (Miranda). Because Eliza married Hamilton
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
this song resembles how Romeo was meant to be with Juliet.“this woman is my destiny”. This is telling us that he is not giving up because they were “born to be together”.This song has a theme of love vs. infatuation and has a motif of fate/free will. Also, the conflict is whether or not it is true love, but as in Romeo and Juliet they know it is from first sight.
This song tells a story about the struggles an immigrant deals with in America and I think ending with this lyric leaves a lasting stand on listeners to keep fighting for what they want and to not give up. I also like that he took a character from a book to show that community and the human spirit will get through bad
This other question that came to mind when dissecting this song was, why did the almost lover have to leave? If he never truly wanted to leave her. Looking a bit more into the other two facts that were covered earlier. One of which was that he was bilingual, and the other was that she can’t look at the ocean without thinking about him. When taking these into
The poems broader theme is that you can’t always have what you want in life because the tone of longing in
She wants the experiences of life without a man. A good portion of the rest of the poem is devoted to showing Aurora's accomplishments. It also shows the price that love paid in her accomplishments. Her health and looks decline very rapidly compared to Romney and releases that her accomplishments have meant nothing without love. She knew that she loved him but had to deal with her dreams first. And without her dreams her love would have meant nothing.
Consider the opening line. Do you sense that the narrator is relived or yearning for something she can never have again? Explain why you feel the way you do.
The theme of the song is rather interesting and I have heard many different theories about the meaning when discussing it with peers over the years. One of the thoughts is
This very slow song, so in my opinion I think it reinforces a sense of bittersweet, because even though she mentions how she wants to be remembered for the good things that she did she also mentions death and regrets in her song.
The poem’s author, Robert Frost, focuses on the theme and the mood by representing the choices and decisions that have to be made.
This is an inspirational song for an average teenage girl, but as I pointed out there were some contradictions to the lyrics and the meaning. They may want to see themselves as beautiful in every way possible, but the world is a puzzle and there is a piece that is gone because of what has become socially acceptable.
This piece has several “mini” themes given to almost each stanza, emphasizing reminiscing, grief, and isolation. Appearing to be from the point of view of a man (apparently the writer himself) profoundly grieving the departure of a lover who has passed on. He starts by calling for quiet from the ordinary objects of life; the phones, the clocks, the pianos, drums, and creatures close-by. He doesn't simply need calm, but be that as it may; he needs his misfortune well known and projected. Its tone is significantly more dismal than earlier versions, and the themes more all inclusive, despite the fact that it talks about a person. There is almost an entire stanza demonstrating a bunch of analogies that express what the speaker intended to his lover. The style in the piece readers typically perceive it as a dirge, or a mourning for the dead. It has four stanzas of four lines each with lines in
Analyzing the word, "beautiful" in this stanza, one should perceive that she is not actually singing about the outside of her, but what she consists of emotionally and mentally on the inside. She reveals that her thoughts and emotions are of worth and value and they are of her opinion. They are consumed through her, and no one else and if anyone disagrees, she does not take that into affect. Her diction is actually pretty precise. To quote a famous cliché, beauty is not skin deep. She explains that the beauty is the sentiment.
