Answer:
Connect to the Author and Time Period
The context of a poem sheds light on the overall meaning of the words. The time period and biography of a poet will give insight that may be hard to decipher just by reading the poem out of context. A good example is the famous poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe. This narrative poem describes the untimely death of a beautiful woman. A close look at Poe's life reveals that he lost several women close to him, including his mother, stepmother and beloved wife. The poem is also Poe's last known work and one of Poe's only poems with a positive message: that the speaker and Annabel Lee will be reunited after death. When in doubt about the meaning of a poem, research the poet and his era for missing clues.
Answer:
Shakespeare used literary devices such as iambic pentameter, rhyme, and puns to appeal to his diverse audience. During the Elizabethan Era, yeomen or laborers (people at the bottom of the social class) may have not necessarily understood how stressed and unstressed syllables work, but they would hear the emphasis and pay attention to the stressed words. Shakespeare purposefully highlighted words that would create a theme, ensuring that both levels of his audience would see the message in his plays. Therefore, these tools show Shakespeare's creativity and skill, but they also help to establish themes.
1) The child will never experience the hardships of life
2) love as an immortal force
3) reverential
4)Wherever there is a chance for a fabulous meal
