  3. Figurative Language Part IISymbol • Symbol: Something that means more than what it is. • Image: means what it is—”A shaggy brown dog was rubbing its back against a white picket fence.” • Metaphor: means something other than what it is—”Some dirty dog stole my wallet.” • Symbol: means what it is and something more, too—You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

  4. “The Road Not Taken” (p. 734) is an example of the use of symbol. • The literal meaning describes an experience by a traveler in a wood. • The symbolic meaning describes any major choice in life and the feelings surrounding it.

  5. Other Poems Which Use Symbol • Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost (p. 793) • “To the Virgins to Make Much of Time” by Robert Herrick (p. 742) • “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost (p. 746) • “The Writer” by Richard Wilbur (p. 751) • “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson (p. 752)

  6. An apparent contradiction that is nevertheless somehow true Paradox

  7. Examples of Paradox • “Much Madness is Divinest Sense” by Emily Dickinson (p. 757) • “Batter my heart, three-personed God” by John Donne (p. 766) • “Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.” • “A Considerable Speck” by Robert Frost (p. 771) • Also employs the use of irony

  8. Overstatement/Understatement • hyperbole = exaggeration • Understatement = saying less than one means • Examples of hyperbole: • “The Road Not Taken” (p. 734) • “I shall be telling this ages and ages hence” • “Incident” by Countee Cullen (p. 769) • “That’s all that I remember”

  9. More Examples of Overstatement/Understatement • “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost (p.746) • “for destruction/ice is also great/and will suffice” • Understatement • “Sorting Laundry” by Elisavietta Ritchie (p. 767) • Overstatement: “a mountain of unsorted wash” • “The Sun Rising” by John Donne (p. 759) • Overstatement • also employs extended use of apostrophe

  10. Verbal Irony • Saying the opposite of what one means • “To every woman a happy ending.” • Example—”Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy (p. 762)

  11. Discrepancy between the speaker’s meaning and the poem’s meaning Example—”The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake (p. 763) Dramatic Irony
