The Lonely Lady

“I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills” (William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud). Wordsworth uses pathetic fallacy to deepen the meaning behind the poem, as seen here, by stating “I wandered lonely as a cloud...vales and hills”, as opposed to simply saying, “I wandered lonely”.

good or all bad. It is a gray area, and it could last for a short period of time or a very long period of time. The in between stage does not necessarily mean it is a bad bad thing.

In the Greatest Man in the World by James Thurber, Jack is trying to fly all the way around the world.

Lord Bryon’s poem “When We Two Parted” is poem centered on complete sadness. The poem describes the speaker’s growing distance from a person whom he once loved. This poem has a lot of controversy about the date it was written and who is was about. The poem consists of four eight-line stanzas; each having a rhyme scheme of ABABCDCD.

He creates his personal space with books because it helps him cope with the loneliness. So when Lennie tries to befriend him he freaks out by exclaiming, “You got no right to come in to my room. This here’s my room. Nobody got any right in her but me.”(68) In addition to Crooks being lonely he is also segregated from all the other workers

the story, it is made clear that everyone is lonely and is longing for companionship, even though no one can truly find friendship in the harsh world they live in.
