What is the effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest?
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest is that</em><u><em> it helps the reader understand the relationship between self-doubt and failure. </em></u>

<em>The correct answer is</em><u><em> option D. </em></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Guest newly defines the word “can’t.” He calls it the father of feeble endeavour. He also addresses it as a parent of terror and half-hearted work. Can’t is the word that starts with self-doubt which leads to failure. Can’t means to give up. This is what the metaphor is trying to explain to the readers. It clearly aids us to understand the failure and the self-doubt present within ours.
