Q. What is the difference between the way Dylan Thomas and Alfred, Lord Tennyson use figures of speech to describe death?
Asked by Patricia - Fri Apr 9 09:54:19 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As a starting off point I'd say that Tennyson definitely empowers death more. Thomas will often work to do the very opposite. He applies a more human quality to death, its a less threatening figure. I think this is epitomized in his "And Death Shall Have No Dominion." Though death, as it is too with Tennyson, is stylized, its not presented as a presence worthy of inspiring fear, quite the contrary its superficial power are juxtaposed and overshadowed by the beauty and magic of life itself, this is more in the tradition of John Donne, for example in "Death Be Not Proud" than it is in Tennyson. Tennyson elevates death to larger-than-life proportions. He interestingly doesn't name death nearly as often as Thomas, which in itself makes it… [cont.]

A. Vivien, according to Tennyson, is a rather loose woman at the court of King Mark in Cornwall whose parents died in war against Arthur. Vivien mocks the supposed purity of Arthur s court, suspecting that the supposed pure love of Lancelot and the Queen is in fact an adulterous relationship. She goes to Camelot to seek out the corruption. She lies herself into the position of being a lady of the court and spreads her gossip among the ladies at court at a time when the court has no external enemies and so people have time for her gossip and tales, whether they be true or not. She then sets out to seduce Merlin. Merlin should know better, but he becomes infatuated with Vivien. He sees through some of her tricks, but accepts them as normal… [cont.]

A. The tiniest thing in nature, one that one might find anywhere, is part of the whole of creation and in fact embodies everything universal and transcendent. If one could understand it--see how it worked, see how it was put together, respond fully to its inherent loveliness and the miracle of its creation--one would know oneself and also God because the smallest part of the whole is emblematic of the whole and reflects its complexity and greatness.

Asked by Cust-M-Eyzed-Kid - Fri Jan 11 00:58:09 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. long answer short it is about the Greek hero Odysseus from the Odyssey. Ulysess is the Roman/latin name he is also known by. In summary Ulysess has returned home to Ithaca after the Trojan War and his 10 year Odyssey home. Tennyson writes the poem as one long monologue and reworks the character completely. Most often known through literature as a hero. Ulysses is now old and past his prime, longing for his glory days, bored with daily life, and is...human. For Tennyson as the author it was also written as a memorandum for a friend who had died and is meant to be sad. excellent analysis and explination of the poem here

Asked by boomeerash - Sat Sep 29 06:25:53 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is called "The Eagle:Fragment" He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls. Tennyson is an extremely lyrical poet, please appreciate that. This poem is brief, but it contains much powerful imagery. the crags the sun the sea the mountain walls. Much is said, but few is written. The whole poem offers clues regarding location, just read. The poem is abrupt, it is a "Fragment", and you don't know the true fate of the eagle. Is he soaring away? Did he lose his ability to fly? Was he shot? Is he dead? What was he doing there? etc. are left unanswered by the poem, [cont.]

A. Act it out. Ulysses, almost begs for performance in the way it changes from his internal reminiscence to his exhortation to his (old) men to again take up the sword and board ship. We have him examining his life, he's old, he isn't doing the heroic things he once did, his wife is a fossil, his son is ready for kinship, we thinks about how his son is ready to take over, that the waves are still as they were when he was a young man, even if the sun is lower. Then he turns to the other men who are also not what they were and convinces them to strike out again, it was only partially their strength which made them great, it was mostly their will. It makes it clear that, no matter how strong or weak you are, it is determination and drive… [cont.]

Q. In Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem 'The Eagle' what type of figurative language is being used when he says, "The wrinkled sea beneath him..." and, "Ringed with the azure of the world..."?
Asked by kk - Sun Oct 21 17:18:45 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The line "The wrinkled sea" could be considered "synaesthesia," where visual and tactile metaphors overlap. In other words, the word "wrinkled" invokes both the sense of sight and the sense of touch. To clarify what I mean by synaesthesia, another example could be found in the term "loud shirt." When we say someone has a loud shirt, we don't literally mean the shirt is being noisy, but that its patterns and/or colors are overly ostentatious. The metaphor of sound has crossed over in the the visual of the shirt's appearance. Moving on, when we look at the entire line, "The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls, we see the use of "personification," where an abstract concept or an inanimate object is given human-like qualities. In this case,… [cont.]
