COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE WAY WORDSWORTH AND HUGHES WRITE ABOUT NATURE E

COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE WAY WORDSWORTH AND HUGHES WRITE ABOUT NATURE IN THEIR POEMS DAFFODILS AND THISTLES Hughes wrote the poem â€Å"Thistles† which is about how these plants are. He speaks about them as if they were a sign of violence, and violent creatures. He views them as a symbol of vengeance, pain and threat. The thistles are spiky and can hurt anyone. They are dull, immortal, green, rough, and produce a big amount of chaos, written in Wordsworth on the other hand, wrote about â€Å"Daffodils† which are small golden flowers. They look vivid, colourful and peaceful. These flowers produce a state of calm, sweet and memorable moments. Written in romantic era of literature, in 1804 Each poet creates a different mood in their poems. Hughes’ use of imagery creates a bad and nasty mood. It even creates horrible and mean moods, and sometimes a scary mood. The use of imagery has a reason to it as well; the purpose of it is to make people get a vision, a small scene, and a picture in their minds of what thistles look like, and what they do to be so painful. Hughes’ way of using imagery is good as it explains whatever he sees; it shows that he can use other things or words to explain his views. An example of this imagery is the line that says â€Å"everyone manages a plume of blood† this makes people think that everyone has a river of blood on them, so it brings a horrible scene into people’s minds. Wordsworth doesn’t use much imagery but whenever he does, he uses it in such a way that people want to continue to read the poem a few more times. His was of using imagery makes people get a nice and pleasant view of the daffodils, like for example in the line â€Å"tossing their heads in sprightly dance† this shows t... ...w, which makes you want to keep the scene in mind all the time and makes you think about the daffodils. But, when you think about the scene of the thistles poem, it isn’t as nice and pleasant. This is because the thistles represent a battle, a fight, in which death is involved, when you read it, it reminds you of wars, of fires and all unpleasant memories. The daffodils basically show happiness and joy to everyone, that is why I prefer it. The words that the poet uses in order to describe the poem are exceedingly special as they describe the location in which the daffodils can be found and admired. In the poem he doesn’t talk about the daffodils beside the lake, it also talks about how it affected his life and how he kept on thinking in the daffodils after being in the lake. This poem is more memorable than the thistles one, which is why I prefer it more.
