Study Notes

Analysis of the Poem "Poetry" by Marianne Moore

  • The excerpt from the poem "Poetry" by Marianne Moore is analyzed for its modernist poetry elements.
  • The correct answer is not related to a traditional poetic structure, such as a strict meter and rhyme (A) or a specific rhyme scheme (B).
  • The poem's sentences do not necessarily fall across multiple stanzas (C), which is not a characteristic of modernist poetry.
  • The theme of loneliness is not obvious in the given excerpt (D), and the correct answer is not related to the theme.
  • The correct answer is not provided in the options, but the element of modernist poetry evident in the excerpt is the use of colloquial language and a focus on the practicality and usefulness of things, rather than their symbolic or interpretive value.
