    The Category of the Individual In The Order of Things, Michel Foucault argues that there is a "pure experience of order and its modes of being" (Foucault xxi), that order exists and that it is necessary. Foucault is concerned with language because it is a mode by which we maintain order in the world, and according to his argument, what we should fear are heterotopias, which "undermine language," "make it impossible to name this and that," "shatter or tangle common names," and "destroy 'syntax'

    Personification is the device seen in this sonnet as it is seen at line 9,”joy lies slain” where joy is seen as a person being killed by an assassin, hence being slain. Line 12, time is personified as a gambler who throws a “moan” as he is throwing the dice in an attempt for it to land on happiness. The persona challenges god fiercely in an outraged tone, a sad tone is being detected in hardy’s witting because god is such a powerful being that rains down misfortunes on humans, so he targets his anger
