Poetry, The theory in analyzing poetry
(Figurative Language, extrinsic and intrinsic elements)
Figurative language or often called the figure of speech is a figure of
speech or a meaning that is not true. There are so many examples of the figure
of speech, such as irony, hyperbole, litotes and others. I will explain four
examples of figurative language that is allegory, simile, metaphor and personification.
1. Allegory
Allegory is a figure of speech that is expressed in other ways, through allegories
or depictions. Usually by way of describing something or make an analogy with the
natural character or what exists in nature.
Example 1:
The journey of human life like a river flowing down the cliffs, which are
sometimes difficult to predict the depth, which is willing to accept all the garbage,
and ultimately stopped when he met with the sea. The journey of life is
described by the flow of water from the river to the sea.
Example 2:
Marriage is like a fragile ship sailed in a sea full of waves will ripple and
other stressful things. If we are not careful, can be misdirected and do not
know the way home. Or, if less powerful, the ship could have destroyed more
vicious hit by waves in the ocean. Strengthen and renew quality ship captain is
the best way to survive.
Married -> Ark in the ocean
We illustrate that getting married is not always 'happy', people who get
married like an ark on the ocean. Can encounter many obstacles and trials
2. Simile
A disclosure explicitly stated by comparison with a preposition and liaison,
like, like, for instance, like, like, like. We express directly to 'compare' A
and B directly, but first interspersed with words like, like etc.
example:
- Your face is like the moon that shines at night.
- The girl was like a new roses in bloom.
- Our relationship like oil and water.
The
difference between allegory and simile
visible depiction of explicit or not
we give. In Allegory,
the depiction of which
we compare the
implicit and more
with respect to anything that exists in nature before.
While in simile,
directly compared.
example:
- His heart is soft
as snow - simile
Soft heart immediately
pictured with 'snow'.
Without providing additional information about
the characteristics / sifat2
snow as in
allegory. If in
Allegory, we bring
sifat2 and natural
characteristic was the comparison that we
make.
3. Metaphor
Meta are from two
words: describe the
change, and Phor derived from the word
meaning pherein carry.
Metaphor = bring
change, bringing new
meaning.
Metaphors make a
comparison, but does
not use the words: like, like, like.
example:
- Leeches Land,
Butterfly Night.
- You are my heart hemisphere.
4. Personification
Disclosure by using
human behavior given
to something that is not human. Or in
other words, we assume that an object is alive.
example:
- Rain danced
above critical
- The wind was
very strong as if
to bring me go away from here.
- The old train
roared amid the
silence of the night
Extrinsic
& Intrinsic Elements
Poetry is the language of literature variance bound by the rhythm,
dimension, rhyme, and the preparation of lines and stanzas. To determine the
intrinsic and extrinsic elements of poetry, we have to read in detail and a
full appreciation of the poem. Well, I will explain what are the elements of
poetry intrinsic and extrinsic elements of poetry. Immediately, we see more ...
