Question

With examples, discuss any major literary device used in D H Lawrence poem "bat"​

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the literary devices used in the poem is Metaphor.

Metaphor is one of the most widely used literary devices. It occurs when the write refers to a meaning or identity ascribed to one subject by way of another.

Explanation:

In the first 5 lines, you see Lawrence applying attributes of living things to non-living things.

For example:

a)  "When the sun from the west, beyond Pisa, beyond the mountains of Carrara  Departs,..."

b) "When the tired flower of Florence is in gloom..."

In A he says "the sun departs" instead of "the sun sets"

in B he posits that the flower of Florence is tired and gloomy.

Overall tonality is one of sadness and he uses metaphoric imagery to communicate this perfectly.

Cheers!
