The poem "The Demon Lover" by Elizabeth Bowen features various literary techniques such as symbolism, foreshadowing, and ambiguity. The demon lover himself symbolizes the protagonist's haunting past, while the frequent references to time and decay create a sense of foreboding. The ambiguity surrounding the lover's identity and the protagonist's fate adds to the overall mystery and suspense of the poem.

What is the ambiguity of the demon lover?

I believe that the ambiguity in the Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen is at the end where she gets into the cab. Bowen says that the woman looks through the glass separating the driver from the passenger and starts screaming. Now we believe the driver is her lost lover but in reality the driver could have been just one ugly person.

Who is the demon in the demon lover?

This could actually refer to a few different tales. The two I know of are; (1) The Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen (circa 1944-46). --In this story Bowen describes a London born woman driven mad by the ideal of living through both WWI and WWII. She describes a courting by her husband (whom the reader knows to be dead) through the story. This is indicating either she is insane and seeing a ghost or perhaps it is a demon in disguise. (2) The Daemon Lover (an early 1900's British folk tune). --In this ballad a young mother leaves her family entreated by a handsome gentlemen, named James Harris, with a boatful of riches. As she is sailing with him she sees off in the distance a bright shore which she is told is Heaven. However, her lover tells her that they are not headed there, rather he points to a dark and dreary shore which he labels Hell. It is then he reveals himself to be Satan and destroys the boat they are in drowning her. This has actually been redone as songs by people such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.

How does a story fit into 'historical and literary traditions' in English?

A story fits into historical and literary traditions in English by drawing on and being influenced by the cultural, societal, and literary elements of the time in which it is written. This may include referencing historical events, incorporating literary techniques popular in a particular era, or engaging with themes that have been explored in previous works. By situating a story within these traditions, it becomes part of a larger conversation that extends beyond the specific narrative.


How old are demons?

It depends on who you reference. The Bible says that they go back as far as the Fall of Lucifer, others say that they are several eons old, whereas still others say that demons do not exist. Some say that the oldest demon was Lucifer himself and that there have been various other "newer" demons that have been "born" or created thereafter, which would mean that the age of a demon varies from demon to demon.
