    the meaning behind the poem, “Lady Lazarus.” The poet, Sylvia Plath, writes about suicide and resurrection in the text to express her feelings of despair.

Elliot uses many symbols and themes throughout the short poem that represents the struggles that Prufrock is facing and his problems

Wtewael establishes the significance of the Christ with his application of form through the use of unrealistic contortions of the people, the lines following

Ultimately, this poem is the internal soliloquy of someone who

    1. Pound’s poems “In a Station of the Metro” and “The Bath Tub” are abstract in that they evoke powerful emotions with unique language. For example, in “In a Station of the Metro,” despite the lack of proper sentence structure, (no verbs in this poem) Pound manages to project the poem’s atmosphere as illusive with the first line (particularly the word “apparition”). In this, he suggests that human life can be very mysterious or deceiving. Similarly, “The Bath Tub” utilizes provocative metaphoric
