The figurative language underscores how uncomfortable Miss Rosie's appearance was to observe. The meter underscores her lax appearance, while the imagery underscores Miss Rosie's image and how much the reader doesn't know about her.
What is the importance of figurative language, imagery and embedding in the poem?
- Imagery allows the reader to enter the poem and see and feel what is being described.
- The meter determines how the reading will be done and which words should be highlighted.
- Figurative language shows meanings in a more profound, interpretive and subjective way.
By reading the poem, the reader can understand how unpleasant Miss Rosie's appearance was, she did not show any beauty, delicacy, nor any characteristic related to a beautiful woman. The description underscores how unappealing her appearance was and how the reader only knows that about her.
An example of this can be seen in the line ''When I watch you wrapped up like garbage sitting surrounded by the smell of too old potato peels,'' where the metric highlights words that cause discomfort, showing how the speaker is uncomfortable with Miss Rosie.
