Well when the Eagles wrote this song, music makers couldn't sing offensive stuff about the government. So the song is one big metaphor that California is like a rat trap. Once you come you can never leave.

The whole song is a poem. "They gathered for the feast, they stab it with their steely knives, but they can't kill the beast. Welcome to the Hotel California, such a lovely place, such a lovely face. The last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before." Read the lines it is all here. I have given you parts.

In "Boys and Girls" by Alice Munro, some literary devices used include symbolism (the horses symbolize freedom and independence), point of view (the first-person perspective allows the reader to witness the protagonist's coming-of-age journey), and irony (the protagonist's realization about her place in society contradicts her earlier beliefs). These devices help convey deeper themes about gender roles, identity, and societal expectations.
