Question

In at least 150 words, discuss the contrasts that exist in “Aunt Imogen."

Answer 1

Answer:

Edward Arlington Robinson wrote a poem called “Aunt Imogen” which takes into deep consideration the life of a woman who lives in the city far from her sister's farm but every now and then she visits her sister. His poem is considered part of early modernism because of his use of traditional verse form, but rather than describing actions of the character the poet looks into consideration Aunt imogen's reflection on her life, her realizations, and her attempt to cope with her circumstances. His work is much different because of his use of connotative and figurative language, and the themes of alienation and of self-reflection of the life of Aunt Imogen, a the end of the poem aunt imogen learns to cope with her feelings stating that “They were not hers, not even one of them: She was not born to be so much as that, For she was born to be Aunt Imogen”
