sets of poems which show different views of war as well as some similarities are “the Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson, “To Lucasta, on Going to the Wars” by Richard Lovelace and “Dulce Et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen, “The Song of the Mud” by Mary Borden. Both these poets use linguistic devices to convince the reader of their view of what the war is. Tennyson and Lovelace show how war is worthy

1. How does Lord Tennyson reveal character in "The Lady of Shalott"? Is she a fully developed character? The characters are revealed with a long introduction into the people we are about to meet. The Lady of Shalott shows depth of personality and she is a fully developed character. 2. Describe the setting of the poem. Remember to comment on both the island and the surrounding countryside, and on the time in which the poem is set. How essential is the setting to the poem? There is a river that runs

Lotus-Eaters” by Alfred Lord Tennyson shows the direct opposite in our human nature depicting a story of those who rather settle for comfort. One is focused on the optimistic possibility of the risk they are taking and the other is focused on the pessimistic possibility as to why they rather not take the risk. When analyzing the psychology behind heroism, the key difference is that the knight in Edgar Alan Poe’s poem was optimistic about becoming a hero, while in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem the sailors

the valiant efforts of these men who throw their lives on the line instills an insurmountable sense of pride in the hearts of spectators. Both Lord Alfred Tennyson’s poem and Richard Caton Woodville Jr.’s illustration entitled “The Charge of the Light Brigade” incorporate literary terms to express their feeling of pride towards the Light Brigade. Tennyson exhibits this by using repetition to signify the danger of fighting in battle, in addition to using imagery to help the reader imagine how terrifying

Throughout history, people of different backgrounds have perceived the act of going to war differently, and it was often reflected in literature in the form of poetry. Some poets, such as Richard Lovelace and Alfred Lord Tennyson, glorified and honored sacrifice; in contrast, others like Mary Borden and Wilfred Owen, condemned war and viewed it as a waste of life. The two poetry collections, while both discuss the effect of going to war, have very distinct central themes. The difference can be depicted

background noise to her husband Ulysses’ odes of sea storms, sirens, and celebrity, the mythological Penelope finally steps into the light in Miriam Waddington’s poetic work “Ulysses Embroidered.” Functioning as a revisionary text to both the Alfred, Lord Tennyson work “Ulysses” and the tradition of The Odyssey itself, “Ulysses Embroidered” quickly strikes its readers as a fiercely feminist re-envisioning of Penelope and the story she offers up. Waddington’s work allows for an age-old legend to be told in

a man was Lord Alfred Tennyson, a well-renowned man of the Victorianism time period.  Critics applaud his skills of lyricism. Themes of the inevitability of death, nationalism, and Arthurian legends are visible throughout his works as well as his fear of his family’s long history of mental illness.  It is clear the close bonds between himself, his family, and friendships which more often than not had ended in tragedy played

Shut your eyes to estrangement, then fix your gaze upon unity… This span of earth is but one homeland and one habitation. -Baha’u’llah (1817-1892) What possible connection could a Persian prisoner in a culturally stunted corner of the 19th century mideast have with the progressive spirit of our age? The spirit of a beaten mankind arising, phoenix-like, from the ashes of pride and prejudice to the glory of unity and brotherhood. Well, everything. Biased though I may be, as a Baha’i I also embrace

The poem “Break, Break, Break” was composed by Lord Tennyson Alfred. Written in rhyming quatrain stanzas with a trimeter rhythm, this piece of literature expresses the thoughts of a man who has recently lost someone he was close to. Accordingly, the themes displayed in this poem are death, sorrow, and passing time. The composer of the poem is unable to speak his mind, for his tongue will not allow him to speak “the thoughts that arise in [him]” (4). This phrase displays the emotional distress being

with all that hoopla. She is also cursed though, when dawn hits and until the sun comes up, she turns into an ogre. So these stories, which are very different at parts, are so similar in others. The author of “The Lady of Shalott” is Mr. Tennyson (Alfred, Tennyson). He also wrote “In Memoriam, A.H.H.”, “Tears, Idle Tears”, and a passage we have already been through “Ulysses”. This is an extremely important author of his time, even our time. He wanted to show what was wrong with not just ourselves
