In “Hanging Fire” Lorde's focus is on several issues that confront the teenager within the poem and affect teenagers in the extended world: the preoccupation with death, the problem of living in a sexist society, and the fear of isolation within the home
Both poems are similar because they are both about nature and are also presented in a sad
tone at first.
“I wandered lonely as a cloud” is a lyrical poem and it depicts Wordsworth’s response to nature’s beauty while the haiku by Basho represents the
imagery of spring day.
Their structural difference is that the haiku only has three
lines with 5, 7, 5 syllables each line while “I wander lonely as a cloud” has a
stanza with six lines in iambic tetrameter.
dramatic irony is a stylistic device that is most commonly used by storytellers, in plays, in the theater, and in movies.
