What literary device is most prominent in this excerpt from Williams’s poem, “The Widow’s Lament in Springtime”?

English
1 answer:
____ [38]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

the correct option is D: Antithesis

Explanation:

An Antithesis is a literary device which features opposing or contrary ideas side by side to achieve a contrasting effect.

<em>"Though they were my joy"....</em>then he adds<em> </em><em>formerly </em>thus negating or reversing the first phrase. The same goes for the second line in the excerpt:

<em>"today I notice them..." </em>then he adds "<em>and turn away forgetting</em>" thus flipping the first part of the sentence. Hence the contrasts are used to creatively highlight his thoughts.

Cheers!

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Success for a person with a fixed mindset would be good enough or just passes, like a person who gets C's and thinks that's good
