Hi everyone,
This one was actually quite a lot of fun to take apart on my own. And this time I will require a little more of exactly that from you. :)
Rather than link to further research, I'll give you thoughts for expanding your notes. That said, Mr. Sir has a link for this one (I think it's this one) to an essay that does a pretty good analysis.
Remember she seems to like sounds and the absence of sounds. Look for how sound and rhythm mirrors mood and/or content.
Consider the connotations of the words that are contrasted so frequently.
Look at structure. What is the tone of the open-ended and enjambed lines? What is the purpose of the indents?
As we may have said in class (but I probably got carried away and forgot to mention), the paradoxical semantic field suggests a sense of balance. Does this always apply? Why does she seek this balance so persistently?
Happy researching.
