AUNT JULIA - Norman MacCaig Protagonist: Poetic voice only Themes include: Family / Cultural Traditions / Artistry of the ordinary / Harmony / Ambiguity Events include: The life of the poetic voice / Childhood visits / Growing up / Life and death "Aunt Julia spoke Gaelic very loud and very fast." - 1st person, sounds personal. Enjambment is used to emphasise her speed and dialect. "... in absolute darkness ... ... listening to crickets being friendly." - Antithesis (juxtaposition of contrasting ideas, to give a feeling of balance, comforting) "... crickets being friendly." - is personification. "She was buckets and water flouncing into them. She was winds pouring wetly round the house-ends" - Metaphors + Parallelism (sentences that have a similar form thus a definite pattern). "... brown eggs, black shirts and a keeper ..." - Tricolon stressing the fact of all the things Aunt Julia was. She is everything for the poetic voice. The metaphores further encapsulate the image of Aunt Julia: how organic and natural she was. "But I hear her still, welcoming me ..." - Present participle, showing that eveything is happening in the present (NOW), sense of action. The world is no longer so simple without her, showing that she was important. Poetic Structure: Irregularity of the poem makes it seem spoken / The stanzas divide the actions and ideas / The repetition of the 1st stanza in the last one, gives the audience a dramatic conclusion / The poem has a circular motion.
All plays contain language (except for mime routines) because that is how the playwright communicates what is going on. Language is of supreme importance in all plays and especially in Shakespeare's. Imagery serves a similar purpose. Asking this question is like asking "Why were musical notes important in Mozart's early compositions?"
In "The Seven Ages of Man," Jacques depicts childhood through vivid imagery of a "whining schoolboy" with "shining morning face," carrying a satchel and reluctantly going to school. This portrayal evokes a sense of innocence and reluctance, highlighting the contrast between the carefree nature of play and the responsibilities of education. The imagery captures the fleeting joy of childhood, marked by both playfulness and the inevitable transition into the structured world of adulthood.
Rythm, imagery and figurative language.
It's placed on the Banned Books list, I believe because there is some foul language, there is some extreme imagery that creates a portion of very sorrowful poverty... The main character starts to get engaged in sexual and immoral acts, and also there is huge religious discrimination in the book.
