William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 116” and Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Love Is Not All” both attempt to define love‚ by telling what love is and what it is not. Shakespeare’s sonnet praises love and speaks of love in its most ideal form‚ while Millay’s poem begins by giving the impression that the speaker feels that love is not all‚ but during the unfolding of the poem we find the ironic truth that love is all. Shakespeare‚ on the other hand‚ depicts love as perfect and necessary from the beginning to

The use of elemental imagery in Jane Eyre‚ revealed throughout the novel both literally and metaphorically‚ is one of Charlotte Bronte s key stylistic devices.

Water can describe coolness and comfort‚ but it can also chill. Because of Charlotte Bronte s use of elemental imagery in her book‚ Jane Eyre‚ the reader

Artman declares‚ “ Blood imagery‚ by setting the tone‚ pacing the wave of action‚ and

He then uses the absence of sensory imagery when describing Margot to create contrast which helps us understand the idea that people who are different are ostracised and hated.

outsider‚ someone not involved. One of the key aspects in the Novella is the way in which Conrad explores the depths of imagery‚ motif and symbolism. Arguably the biggest motif explored in Heart of Darkness is that of ‘Light’ and ‘Darkness’. Conrad’s use of ‘light’ and ‘darkness’ imagery is reflected through devices such as setting and atmosphere. The extract begins rich with imagery as Marlow talks of the “Light” that “came out of this river”‚ emphasising the idea that through invasion‚ the Romans

Essay: The Motif of Time in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 19 Time may well be the most confusing‚ incomprehensible and paradox matter in our universe. There seems to be no possibility of influencing it in any way and we have to accept that it will always follow its own course. While most would agree‚ William Shakespeare - in his own way - was different.

On my first reading of Charlotte Perkins Gilman ’s "The Yellow Wallpaper"‚ I found the short story extremely well done and the author‚ successful at getting her idea across. Gilman ’s use of imagery and symbolism only adds to the reality of the nameless main character ’s sheltered life and slow progression into insanity or some might say‚ out of insanity. The short story is written in first person and it is from our nameless character ’s writing ’s that we are introduced to her world and her
