Hatred poem by Wislawa Szymborska

English

mart [117]4 years ago
7 0
Note: the translation of your poem may vary, so check the word choices before answering.

In the first stanza, the personification of hatred creates an image of a predator, a creature able to "vault" obstacles. Words like "vault," "pounce" and "track" add to this image. (Your translation might have "regards," "leaps," and "overtakes" -- but the idea is the same).

Personification is used later in the poem to contrast hatred with compassion, brotherhood, and doubt. Hatred, she writes "never tires" of being an executioner. Furthermore, it's "always ready," even if it must wait. In this way, he can wait for compassion and brotherhood to give way to violence. 

Brotherhood, compassion (or empathy, depending on the translation) and doubt, she says, are "sluggish" and do not compel people to act in the way hatred does.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

When Sykes returns to the house as Delia works on laundry at the beginning of the story, he drapes his bull whip over her shoulder to frighten her, knowing she is terrified of snakes. The faux snake scares and temporarily mutes her, which Sykes finds hilarious; through his cruel prank and insensitive reaction to his wife's terror, we can infer that he is a mean-spirited, unloving husband. The presence of the whip is indicative of Sykes's cruel streak, and also foreshadows the real snake that will enter their home and ultimately bring about his death later in the story. Since Sykes not only interrupts Delia's hard work to play a prank but also derails her progress by kicking and soiling the clothes she is attempting to clean, we can conclude that he is a lazy, ungrateful, and unhelpful partner, despite the fact that Delia's laundry work finances their home and lifestyle.
