Question

Lines 10–16: What alliterative words can you identify in these lines? How do these words affect the poem? Icarus flight

Answer 1

Answer:

flew, flutter, flight, forever

Explanation:

Alliteration is the figure of speech that allows that in the same line or stanza, a poem presents a succession of words with repetition of consonant sounds, that is, with repetition of consonants. In lines 10-16 of "Icarus Flight" we can see the presence of the alliteration in the words "flew," "flutter," "flight" and "forever," where we can see that the repetition of the consonant "f" reinforces the idea of flight and distance, which are two important elements in the meaning of the poem.

The poem presents the greed of Icarus when flying with his wax wings. This greed causes him to lose his discernment, get too close to the sun and melt his wings, causing a big drop in the sea, where he drowns.

it is necessary to remember that in a poem, a line represents a verse and a stanza represents the set of verses.
