Paper Summary:

The paper explains "The Fish" by poet Elizabeth Bishop that focuses on the female persona of the poem and the epiphany undergone by her. The paper describes Bishop's use of images, rhyme and metaphor.

From the Paper:

"Elizabeth Bishop's poem "The Fish" embodies a speaker who is the persona of the poem. According to Kennedy, a persona or fictitious character is not the poet but the poet's creation. The persona in "The Fish" appears to be a female, primarily from the descriptions of the fish that focus on its physical homeliness and her depiction of various aspects of the fish in colors of pink rosettes of lime and akin to a big peony."
