Pablo Neruda at eNotes

The last line of the poem "Ode to the Beautiful Nude" is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech used to implicitly compare two things that are unrelated as if they had something in common. The moon lives in the lining of your skin refers to the inner glow that seems to emanate from the portrait of this striking woman. This inner glow metaphorically transforms the shape of the woman making her profile contrast against her...

"Ode to a Beautiful Nude" is rife with literary elements that include, among many others, metaphors and similes. Similes are direct comparisons between two unrelated things that do share at least one similar trait. The words "like",and "as" join the direct comparison together such as in the words "cold as ice". Metaphors assume that one thing IS another. The words "like" and "as" are not included. The comparison is implied and made literally...

It is important to remember that all of Neruda's poems were written in Spanish, and therefore what we see are translations of those poems into English. Obviously, meter is impacted by translation, so clearly the answer I will give you is based on the translation of the poem, rather than the original. Having given this caveat, if we look at the poem, it is clear that there is no regular meter. Consider the following stanza, for example: With a...

What does the fifth stanza in "Ode to a Beautiful Nude" mean?

This is a poem in praise of the female form and as the speaker in this poem gazes upon the nude who the poem is dedicated to, the tone of wonder, awe and amazement is clear as he contemplates what is to him such pure and unfettered beauty.

In the fourth stanza, for example, the speaker questions of what substance the body of the nude consists to...

What is the thesis of "Shakespeare, Prince of Light" by Pablo Neruda?

The thesis of “Shakespeare, Prince of Light” is that William Shakespeare was such a gifted poet that his works still have value and relevance centuries later. Many people have celebrated the works of Shakespeare. Neruda explores the concept of Shakespeare’s exceptional skill as a poet. His premise is that Shakespeare’s works still have meaning to us not just because of the content, but because of the way the words are used. At...

Imagery employed by a poet brings to the reader a sensory experience. Pablo Neruda’s “Every Day You Play” depends on his word images to explain the relationship that he describes.

We will pick out the main one in each stanza. The pictures that the poet paints...
