    Dylan Thomas wrote the poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.” It is about a son’s plea to his father who is approaching death. Two lines are repeated in the poem and addressed directly to the father. These lines structure the first stanza and collaborate as a couplet in the last. They are repeated a lot but each time, they have different meanings: statements, pleas, commands, or petitions. Repetition and rhyme scheme are parts of prosody in poetry. The rhyme scheme is built on two rhymes and forms of a pattern. The two rhymes are night and day and the pattern is aba, and in the last stanza, abaa. Even though the poem seems to have too much repetition, the fascinating imagery is more important and readers pay more attention to that instead.

    Cassius shows throughout the story that he is deceitful, persuasive, and at times arrogant. However, he also shows a constant loyalty to Brutus that is contradictory to these aforementioned traits. During a massive fallout between Cassius and Brutus, Cassius reveals his envy towards Brutus’s love for Caesar while holding a dagger to his own chest. “When thou didst hate him worst, thou lovedst him better than ever thou lovedst Cassius” (JC 4.3.117-119). Cassius is so distraught over the thought of Brutus having more love for Caesar that he threatens to kill himself. Despite all of the villainous traits Cassius has, he truly cherished his friendship with Brutus. This proves that even villains can have the traits of

  • Cassius Rhetoric

    628 Words  | 2 Pages

    In lines 57-78, Cassius makes Brutus feel that he is a great man and that if he were to see his inner qualities that he would believe it too. Joseph J Romm in his Book “Language Intelligence” states, “Getting noticed and getting “in” have been the twin tasks for rhetoric for over two thousand years” (1). Cassius is slowly getting in and getting noticed by building Brutus up so that he can feel that is a great person and later that Caesar is not. Cassius later attempts to make himself look trustworthy by saying “Were I a common laughter, or did use/ to stale with ordinary oaths my love to every new protestor... then hold me dangerous” (I.ii.72-74 & 78). He is acting as if he is not a deceiving person by basically saying that if you don’t believe that I do not deceive people then let it be that way. By doing this, he seems like he is giving up on Brutus so it seems that Cassius doesn’t care what...

    To fully understand this poem, the reader would find it helpful to know what led Coleridge to write it. Coleridge grew up with English essayist Charles Lamb in school and the two were close friends (Merriman.) In their later years, however, the two rarely saw each other as Coleridge lived in the country side and Lamb lived in the city, where he cared for his mentally ill sister (Merriman.) On one of the rare days Lamb went to visit him, Coleridge planed to go on a walk through the scenic area surrounding his house with Lamb and some other friends, but before they left, Coleridge’s wife accidentally dropped boiling milk on his foot and he was unable to participate in the walk (Benzon.) While the others gallivanted across the countryside, Coleridge sat in his garden and wrote this poem.

  • Analysis Of I Dreamed I Moved Among The Elysian Fields

    Through her use of the words “dreamed”, “sweet women”, “blossoms” and the Mythology of “Elysian fields” in lines one through three, she leads the reader to the assumption that this is a calm, graceful poem, perhaps about a dream or love. Within the first quatrain, line four (“I wove a garland for your living head”) serves to emphasise two things: it continues to demonstrate the ethereal diction and carefree tone, but it also leads the reader to the easy assumption that the subject of this poem is the lover of the speaker. Danae is belittled as an object and claimed by Jove, while Jove remains “golden” and godly. In lines seven and eight, “Jove the Bull” “bore away” at “Europa”. “Bore”, meaning to make a hole in something, emphasises the violent sexual imagery perpetrated in this poem.

    II, 1104). Also, while on a trip to Spain, he witnessed an event in which Caesar “did shake… His coward lips did from their color fly and that same eye whose bend doth awe the world did lose its luster… and that tongue of his that bade the Romans mark him and write his speeches in their books… cried… as a sick girl” (Act I, sc. II, 1104). With Caesar’s fragile condition, Cassius questions how “a man of such feeble temper should get the start of the majestic world and bear the palm alone” (Act I, sc. II, 1104), suggesting that Caesar is not healthy enough to carry out his duties with his epileptic episodes, and this vulnerability will be deciphered by enemies as a weakness of the
