I believe the correct answer is It compares an experience to a method of torture.
The author is trying to compare slavery to hell - he isn't comparing it to the actual physical gate, but rather what lies beyond the gate. He thinks slavery, and what slaves had to go through is akin to hell, or at least our depiction of it.

Compare Themes of the Two Poems
ycow [4]

<u>Incomplete question. However, I inferred this to be the full question;</u>

Compare and contrast the themes of the poems “Ulysses” and the “Lady of Shalott,” and analyze how the poet incorporates Victorian ideals into the themes.

Answer:

<u>Both poems address the relationship between a woman and a man.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the poem “Ulysses” by Tennyson we notice a focus about an individual's pursuit for knowledge and experience. Ulysses (a male character) feels that he must look beyond his challenges by seeking new experiences.

In the poem "The Lady of Shalott" also focuses on taking risks to overcome challenges. However, both poems shed some light on the relationship between men and women incorporating the Victorian view of acquiring knowledge which sees women as merely serving their duty in her home and family, and that her interactions with the world is not permissible.

Definitely personification.

Personification is giving non-living things living characteristics. e.g. sun slumbers.
