Why was the poem entitled "autumn"?

1 answer:

6 0

It's because Autumn can have many meanings in literature. It can be seen as maturity and wisdom. It can be seen as old age, but before sickness and death, the harvest of a lifetime of learning.

It can also mean the coming of the cold, of sickness, of hunger and lean times. In poetry, especially, Spring is associated with youth and new, budding life. Summer is the pinnacle of life, when you are older, but still young enough to have family, success, etc. Autumn is often the time of retirement, but you have a sense of fulfillment, richness, wisdom, freedom. Winter is old age, illness, the death of loved ones and, ultimately your own death.

Read the excerpt below from the poem “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.

Deffense [45]

Alliteration: " as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)

assonance: "In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words)

consonance: "of CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)

These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator.

imagery: "As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek"

This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.
