In this study I will be comparing the 2 poems, To Autumn and Ozymandias
In this study I will be comparing the 2 poems, To decline and Ozy manhooddias. I have chosen these both(prenominal) poems because out of the four that we have looked at, I have found these to be the most interesting.In this study I will be comparing the 2 poems, To Autumn andOzymandias. I have chosen these two poems because out of the four thatwe have looked at, I have found these to be the most interesting.Ozymandias revolves more roughly time than nature, whereas To Autumnrevolves around nature more than time.Ozymandias is on the surface a nice little tale of a big bad man whomade a statue that has been destroyed. However if you probe at it, yourealise that it is actually all about time and nature destroyingeverything. I shall go into this further later.To Autumn would, at first glance, seem to be simply about Autumn andhow it is the close-bosom friend of the maturing sun but if you lookin detail at the row used you can see that there is an underlyingtone that is far more grim .Both poems have both rhyme and rhythm. In Ozymandias, there be 10syllables per line, except one, where there are 11. In To Autumn,there are also, about 10 syllables per line. As a result the rhythm inboth is pretty constant. As well as rhythm, they have rhyme. InOzymandias, the rhyme is the end of lines 1 & 3 & 5, 2 & 4, 6 & 8, 7 &10, 9 & 11 & 13, and 12 & 14. In To Autumn the end of all lines ineach stanza do rhyme with at least one other, in this way initiatory & 3rd,2nd & 4th, 5th & 9th & 10th, 6th & 8th, 7th & 11th. This pattern isrepeated in each stanza.Ozymandias is simply a big single stanza To Autumn however is a poemwith 3 stanzas. But these do not really seem to flow together. Theyrather seem to be almo... ...zymandias talks more about the vividness of time, whereas ToAutumn talks about how Nature, and in particular, Autumn are forcesthat provide much in the world.If you are someone who doesnt class a poem as a poem unless it hasrhyme, rhythm, poetic language, sound pa tterns etc, then you are farmore likely to prefer To Autumn, because it is much more the poetspoem than Ozymandias. I personally prefer Ozymandias, because it hasgreat power. Although it doesnt have much in the ways of standardpoetic tools, it does have rhyme and rhythm, as well as a cryptic andstrong message.Self-Criticism - Not enough actual comparison, too much just talkingabout the poem.- Used the rule books think and believe to oftenIs that even a word?- It doesnt read well, it jaws, I have obviously just looked at what to write and written about it just like that.
