Paper Summary:
This paper discusses and analyzes Elizabeth Bishop's poem, "One Art", discussing specifically the theme and message of the poem. The paper shows how, by effectively incorporating poetic elements, Bishop artistically compensates through her poetic division of instructions, commands and examples, revealing that over time one may learn to cope with the loss of a loved one.From the Paper:
"In the last stanza, Bishop's focus changes from material possessions and places to a personal loss, and her attitude or tone changes noticeably as well. Bishop sympathetically reveals, \Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied\ (16, 17). Through this image of memorable traits, Bishop emotionally conveys a heartfelt loving relationship that has been lost in the past, and she tries to hide or bury that loss by putting these memories in parentheses. It is evident that Bishop is trying very hard to detach herself from pain and the loss of a lover, but her heart is still attached. Within these lines, Bishop reinforces the idea that love is a part of human nature, and true love is something that seems irreplaceable. Through Bishop's poem, one is reminded that loss is hard to deal with, but it is a process that we all must face."Sample of Sources Used:
