Mickey AP English: April 2009

Thursday, April 23, 2009. Metaphysical poetry is a very short type of poem considering that it often deals with deep philosophical topics such as humans dealing with god and fearfulness of death. Wit and irony are very common, used to compare to unsimilar objects. Metaphysical poetry is full of bold stylistic writing such as clever rhymes or poem structure that correlates with the meaning of the poem. Huge shifts in scale of ideas or mixing of them such as a rock to the sun. Shall I ever sigh and pine?

The carpenter talks of the whale bone leg being Ahab's bedmate which is actually true in a sense. Ahab does have a wife but he has pretty much given them up to go after whales or Moby Dick. So he has "married" into whaling and probably loves whaling more than he does his wife. Chapter 107: Moby Dick. Chapter 106: Moby Dick. Chapter 105: Moby Dick. The m...
