Thanatopsis And Romanticism

I have found many different types of figurative used it the poem” Beginning” “The moon drops one or two feathers into the field." this is an example of a metaphor. Another example of a metaphor is”There they are, the moon's young, trying their wings.” these are examples of different types of figurative languages.

For example, the story “The Sirens” in The Odyssey, on lines 690-691 Odysseus says “or know what death we baffle if we can. Sirens weaving a haunting song over the sea.” This metaphor is comparing death to the Sirens, this helps to identify that this is a dangerous route that Odysseus knows of and how he is still pursuing it. This metaphor helps describe the thought that Odysseus needs to

Personification is when an object receives human traits such as talking or screaming. Another example of a figurative language is located on page 226. “My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death.” That quote is an example of a simile and a metaphor. A simile is a comparison using like or as, while on the other hand, a metaphor is a comparison without using like or as.

Romanticism was a noteworthy global development that was compelling in forming present-day perspectives of artistry, writing, and music. Be that as it may, it came later in a few nations, for example, Italy, Spain, and the United States. It happened first in craftsmanship and writing and later in music. To a limited extent, sentimentalism was a response to the creative styles of traditional vestige. These styles had been resuscitated in the 1600's and 1700's as neoclassicism. Neoclassicists set remarkable significance on the force of reason as a method for finding truth. That is the reason the neoclassical period is frequently called the Age of Reason (Wheatley, K.).

A metaphor is comparing two objects without the use of like or as. One example of a metaphor in the letter is found in 39th paragraph and reads “Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away.”(King). This is a metaphor because it compares dark clouds to racial prejudice without like or as. Another metaphor is in the 39th paragraph and reads “the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow and the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.”(King). This is a metaphor because it compares radiant starts to love and brotherhood without like or

William Cullen Bryant is the author of Thanatopsis. This poem is the one describes the link between death and nature. “Nature“ is the main central idea of Transcendentalism, and each author has different ideas about nature, and their writing methods are different. Emerson, is the author who is main representative of Transcendentalism, and Bryant have a slightly different style of Emerson.

When I look up the meaning of metaphors in Webster it says "a figure of speech in which a work for one idea or thing is used in place of another to suggest a likeness between them." The Hours by Michael Cunningham is enriched with many complex metaphors. While intertwining three different woman's lives, Cunningham uses a wide range of metaphors to help mean something in one story and tie into the next woman's story. Using deconstructive interpretation to investigate these strategically placed metaphors can be difficult and exciting, yet challenging.

“That night the soup tasted of corpses.” (Chapter four, page 62). This is an example of a metaphor because it did not literally taste like corpses, but it is more of an example to show how he could not think of anything other than how he still felt disturbed from watching the hanging.

Metaphor: A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable (not using ‘like’ or ‘as’)

22. A metaphor is a figurative of speech that is implicitly or blatantly used to compare two or more unlike objects that share a common similarity.

Imagine a candle-lit dinner on a starry night in Paris, the Eiffel Tower just in view with dazzling lights shining into the night. This image is probably what you think of when you hear the word “romantic,” correct. However, this image is a stumbling block when people think of the “Romanticism Period” in literature. Where “romantic” means having a lovely time with the person you love the most, “Romanticism” is a piece of literature written with key themes in mind. Those themes tend to be a strong emotion, imagery or worship of nature, and individuality and subjectivity. The peak of inspiration for these pieces was in the years 1800-1850, and there are famous poems that are well loved today from this period. Many of the poets that you enjoy reading and know are, in actuality, Romanticism writers, and instill the themes above in our minds.

The fact that the message is not apparent in the poem, is often attributed to the usage of metaphors in the poetry. According to Oxford Dictionary, metaphors are the “figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable”. Even though they are used for different reasons

Through the late 1700s and early 1800s, the period of Romanticism blossomed. “Romanticism” very loosely describes the era in which modern culture began to take shape.
