How is sibilance effective in poems?
It depends on the context however, from recently studying the poem Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, September 3 1802, I have found there is a line containing sibilance; 'A sight so touching in its majesty:' This is one of the most important lines in the poem and its importance has been emphasised by the sibilance. Here it helps the line to flow and makes it easy to read. The 'so touching' makes the line slightly hyperbolic and creates an effect of desperation in that Wordsworth is trying to stress the importance of his ideas.However in another poem that i recently studied it had quite the opposite effect. In the poem Medusa, sibilance is used continuously throughout the poem to create the snake like creature that she eventually turns into. The sibilance represents the hissing of the snake and therefore the poem allows you to hear the creature without bluntly stating what she becomes. Sibilance in this context is used to gradually build up the jealousy and the other themes throughout the poem..hope that helped a little.
