<u>Metaphors in “O Captain! My Captain!” by Whitman:</u>

The poem is an elegy  mourning the death of the  American President Abraham Lincoln.  Written by Walt Whitman in 1865, it is an extended metaphor honoring the 16th President of America and regretting his demise.

A metaphor is an implied Comparison.  The poem is an extended metaphor,  which means it is a comparison between two dissimilar things continuing in sentences and stanzas in the poem.

In the poem, the ship has been compared to the United States of America, having gone through the civil war and coming back  unvanquished,  victorious to receive a cheerful welcome by the masses.Though the war is won, the captain has lost his life.

The poet laments the loss of the captain of the ship who is ‘lying cold and dead‘ provoking sorrow and grief and leaving the poet sad. The captain here refers to the President who was the president during  the American Civil War and was assassinated while in office that is why the captain is lying dead  on the ship.

Paladinen [302]

A group of friends talk about their would be reactions under different circumstances with the conditional or the imperfect subjunctive of the verbs in parentheses.

Jonah: If I were to fall from a cliff, I would make sure to carry a parachute with me.

Nick: In case, it does not rain tomorrow, I would love to take you to the cliff.

Sona: If I were at your place Jonah, I would never even consider to go near to any cliff as I am afraid of heights, you know.

The Imperfect Subjunctive expresses "the same subjunctivity as the Present Subjunctive but in the Past". It is not a tense. It adheres to the same guidelines but makes reference to prior knowledge, unexpected occurrences, or potential outcomes.
