What are line breaks in poetry

English
1 answer:
bearhunter [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A line break is the termination of one line of poetry, and the beginning of a new line.

Some additional key details about line breaks:

Line breaks divide poems into lines, and the length of lines determines the appearance of the poem on the page: long and skinny, short and wide, or a shape entirely its own.

The location of a line break is often dictated by the number of syllables in the line, but just as often it is freely chosen by the poet.

Line breaks serve an important function in setting the rhythm of a poem, since they insert a pause between the final word of one line and the first word of the next line. For this reason, line breaks conventionally occur where natural pauses in language also occur—such as after punctuation, at the end of a thought, or between distinct images.

It was no great distance, in those days, from the prison-door to the market-place. Measured by the prisoner's experience, howeve
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

It means that the walk from the prison-door to the marketplace seems trecherous and long to Hester Prynne.

Explanation:

Nathanael Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is about the story of Hester Prynne, a woman convicted of adultery, and the "<em>punishment</em>" that was given to her. The novel also deals with themes of society, religion, good vs. evil, public shaming, social stigma, etc.

In the given excerpt, the narrator is talking about the "walk" from the prison door to the marketplace where Hester will be 'on display' for the public to see. The narrator reveals,<em> "measured by the prisoner's experience, [the walk] might be reckoned a journey of some length"</em> which is how it was more of <em>"an agony from every footstep"</em> for Hester. These lines show how Hester thinks the walk is long and treacherous for her.
