Explanation of poetry pretty words

English
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago

Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.

Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.

So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.

Hopefully that all helps!

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper."
Minchanka [31]

The image of the woman trying to escape contributes to the idea that the narrator feels trapped and unable to control her fate.

The woman trying to escape from the wallpaper is representative of the narrator feeling trapped in her own life. This was a social issue of Gilman's time. The idea that women were trapped in their homes as a housewife unable to control their own fate. While option C does talk about supernatural forces which can be an element of gothic literature, the answer does not reflect a social attitude. Option A and B are just wrong.
