Identify and evaluate the poets use of rhyme and meter in this poem La Belle Dame san Merci a Ballad

English

djyliett [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The rhyme scheme is ABCB.

In relation to the metric, the poem follows the following pattern:

3 first verses: iambic tetrameter (the verses vary between 8 and 9 syllables)

Last verse: iambic dimeter or iambic trimeter (verses vary between 4 and 5 syllables)

Explanation:

The poem is a literary ballad, inspired by the folk ballads of medieval times. It is possible to observe several characteristics typical of a ballad, as the centralization in a single event (the story of the lady reported by the knight), presentation of the story through a dialogue (in the first three stanzas, the unknown narrator is talking to the knight, and the rest of the poem is the knight's response), use of few figures of language as metaphors and metonymy, and creation of an atmosphere (at the beginning of the poem, the narrator describes the nature as dead), and little information about the characters.

The passage first identifies the problem as the tires "piling up in empty lots." Then it is explained how those tires got there: the cause. The author says that since "it is expensive and dangerous to dispose of tires" people don't dispose of them and they just keep piling up. Then the passage ends with a solution. The author mentions how tires can be shredded and turned into rubberized asphalt for paving projects.
