However, a factor that unifies all three poems is the lyrical nature of the words; each poem captures an aspect of life, using rhythm and music to depict the different situations and attitudes of the characters within. The musicality of Hughes’s poems is designed ...

Research Paper:

Section A: Compare Short Story with Drama Drama is more similar to short stories. In a story, the author extensively describes the events and describes to detail of environment and thinking as well as feeling of the individual characters. In Drama, ‘emotions or thinking’ and ‘environment’ of the characters are not ‘narrated’ but rather, ‘presented’ (Barnet, Berman, Burto, 1993).
