How is the subject matter and conflict affected by the structure of the poem in Cremation of Sam Mcgee

1 answer:

7 0

The poem has a ring structure - that is, it begins and ends with the same stanza. This technique is precisely what makes it so interesting, as we the cremation is introduced first in the title, then in the first stanza, and reiterated with the last, repeated stanza. Once the conflict is resolved, we read the final stanza (which was also the first) with relief. It even gets a humorous overtone, as we know now that Sam never really died, therefore the morbid cremation from the poem's beginning never happened either.

In shakespeare's tragedies, often the main character is given a chance to say something significant before he dies. What speech

jarptica [38.1K]

Macbeth's "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" speech in Act 5, scene 5 acts as Macbeth's farewell. In it he thinks about the meaning of life and decides that death is something that comes to everyone, people are all just walking the earth with no importance. "Signifying nothing" at the end refers to man's life, it means nothing, according to Macbeth. He relates a person's life to an actor who plays a part on a stage for a couple hours and then disappears, doesn't exist anymore.
This speech shows that he has essentially given up (in his mind) and thinks that life is meaningless.
