The Wanderer And The Dream Of The Rood Comparison Analysis

Through the whole story comes the theme of war as a terrible mistake mankind. It brings death, pain, blood, sweeping away in its path state and the nation. Its victims are simply people for whom the war is unnatural, but by the will of a handful of patients mentally and physically tyrants they are involved in the lethal effect called war. In human war erased all the social, there is only animal fear, causing the fight to preserve his life.

I think that the wanderer is choosing to live a lonely life. The way that a person spends his or her life is up to them. I believe that the wanderer is choosing to carry the burden alone. Since the wanderer does not have someone to talk to about his sorrows, he is trying to search for the answers on his own. He is coping with the difficulties that he is going through by searching for answers from life. I believe that the main reason the wanderer wants to die and return to the creator is in order to get answers to his questions. I think that the reason that the wanderer does not care for worldly items is because they will not provide him with the answers to his questions. Based on the poem, I think that the wanderer will not be satisfied until

However, the poem has fluidity despite its apparent scarcity of rhyme. After examining the alteration of syllables in each line, a pattern is revealed in this poem concerning darkness. The first nine lines alternate between 8 and 6 syllables. These lines are concerned, as any narrative is, with exposition. These lines set up darkness as an internal conflict to come. The conflict intensifies in lines 10 and 11 as we are bombarded by an explosion of 8 syllables in each line. These lines present the conflict within one's own mind at its most desperate. After this climax, the syllables in the last nine lines resolve the conflict presented. In these lines, Dickinson presents us with an archetypal figure that is faced with a conflict: the “bravest” hero. These lines present the resolution in lines that alternate between 6 and 7 syllables. Just as the syllables decrease, the falling action presents us with a final insight. This insight discusses how darkness is an insurmountable entity that, like the hero, we must face to continue “straight” through “Life” (line 20).

While reading the poem, the lines create an imagery to help the audiences to see the life of women. The imagery of the poem asks to be seen with the mind’s eye. A successful image can help the readers to see a good picture while they are reading. The images of the poems are the God, town, lover, lock, and freedom. These five imageries help readers to understand the deeper meaning of the story and realize the feeling of the narrator. According to the imageries of the story, they tell me that the narrator needs help from the God, and she wants to be a tough woman as the town. Her partner is her enemy, so she asks for the God to divorce them. She has a lock to lock the sadness in her heart, so she wishes the God help her to unlock it in order

Often the solitary one finds grace for himself the mercy of the Lord. Although he, sorry-hearted, must for a long time move by hand (in row) along the waterways, along the ice-cold sea, tread the paths of exile. Events always go as they must!

The exile from her homeland and the departure from her husband left her in deep pain. Lonely, she tried to face through her sufferings and hardships. Loneliness is what she feels very deeply throughout the poem. She feels as if she has nobody. “The Ruin” contains two more themes of destruction and the power of nature.

Each of these poems manifests exile in diverse ways. Exile is a long stay away from home is if often enforced, but is occasionally self imposed, as it is in “The Seafarer.” Whether it is enforced or self imposed, exile has caused apprehension for plenty because it is the fear of the unknown. Exile can occur

  But as in The Wanderer, a warrior is upon the ocean searching for comfort as he mourns the loss of his loved ones and society.  It is well understood that they have the feeling of loneliness in common as well as the importance in sharing a connection with God.   But there are differences as well, such as The Wanderer is repining and The Seafarer is looking back on the times he now sees as desirable.

The narrative poem, “The Highwayman” authored by Alfred Noyes, symbolizes the forbidden, but pure love among the highwayman and the landlord’s daughter, Bess. The power of their love for one another was so strong for they sacrificed themselves for each other. “Annabel Lee”, a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe, signifies the obsessive, but eternal love between the narrator and his wife, succeeding her passing. The two authors develop the theme of love, nevertheless, Noyes develops the theme of sacrificial love whereas Poe establishes the theme of obsessive devotion.

It is seen that the photographer’s feelings are brought out in two contrasting situations, at home and while at warfront. The poet continues to describe the sufferings of the photographer when his mental state is compared as he is travelling between the two contrasting worlds – one the warfront which is full of destruction and chaos and the other is ‘Rural England,’ probably countryside that is peaceful and serene. He compares the pain of war to simple pain of changing weather back at home in England. There being nothing worse then the harsh weather that the children have to face as against the mines that explode on the running feet of the children affected by war. This only tells us that the photographer longs peace and he is deeply moved by the affected children. His prolonged thoughts are presented with great effect by the use of enjambment in this line and this adds to the effect of continuity of thoughts.

Great works of literature have been written throughout history. However, The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost have the inept ability to stir the soul and cause a person to examine and re-examine their life. The brilliant descriptions, use of imagery, metaphor and simile give a person a vivid picture of the creation of man and the possibilities for life in the hereafter. This is done, as a person is able to see, full circle, from the beginning of time to the end of time, the consequences of turning away from God. The ability to see a life full circle is apparent through the examination of both of these poems. Although written many years ago, the morals and principles that they convey ring very true

Complete contentment, religion’s refuge, and a hunger for happiness all drive individuals to believe in ideas and act upon them. People’s desire to gain resources or feelings that provide a satisfying result and that thirst drives inspiration in literature and characters. Because of this, many things can be defined as happiness and the emotion takes on a more personal definition. As a private emotion, happiness overlaps with religion, in both literature and life, and the morals and security it provides to the individual. Religion evokes a refuge to the broken and many individuals consider this to be happiness. Authors often use this idea of providing protection in their writing to produce sympathetic or comfort for the reader. Trusting

The Rood communicates to the dreamer that God recognizes this type of faith. For its tremendous self-discipline and submission to the Lord 's will, the Rood gains a rich reward. Just as Christ 's obedience to his Father was recognized by God, the Rood 's faithfulness is also acknowledged. He stresses the notion that the gift of salvation is so great that it transcends human understanding. The gift of redemption, which assures man pardon of his sins and never-ending happiness in the presence of his creator, is so immense that it cannot be fully understood in human terms. On the basis of cultural and ethical concepts valid in this life, man may be able to comprehend part of the mystery of Christ 's self-sacrifice, but not the fullness of God 's grace. By twisting the theme of service, the poet urges his audience to give to God the return gift that he demands,

The introduction showcases imagery to encapsulate the effects of war. The second line of the poem describes movement as “slow,” this shows that war moves as if it will never end making victims feel trapped in agony and distress. In addition, references to weaponry such as bombs and rifles are displayed, meaning that war results in death and destruction. These forces led to grief and despair as shown by the tears and screaming of citizens.

Part of this sense of the totality of the modern self adding up to a fractured variety emerges, not just from the shifting sense of the images and the multiplicity of narration , but also from the variety in the verse style. It's as if in the modern age, there cannot be a single authoritative way of expressing how one feels. There is not enough confidence in the forms of language itself. Just as the traditional community has become the unreal city, a vision of a modern inferno. So The Waste Land is abundant with multiplicity of narration in different language and set of seemingly disordered images.
