    Imagery refers to words that trigger reader to recall images or mental picture, that engages one of five senses sight , sound , taste , smell , touch . Types of imagery are ( visual , auditory, olfactory, tactical, gustatory). Imagery is important because, it’s allows writers to evoke powerful emotions in their readers without explicitly. Imagery can be figure of speech literal or figurative but , also completely literary. In writing imagery makes any texts formally artistically and functionally appearing. Imagery enchances characters , setting, meaning of theme in literature. Thank you for your wonderful educational literary channel.

    Vales and hills in Daffodils by Wordsworth is an example of imagery. And in simple sense we can say Butterfly fluttering around the newly bloomed buds of spring. Thank you for this wonderful explanation Sir!

    I had read the story once and it really does a good job of expressing the shackles of this socially necessary institution of marriage in a patriarchal society. It is a true tragedy disguised as normalcy.

    How one answer a question like this: briefly discuss the nature of imagery used in poem?

    • @SWLF
      @SWLF  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the question, Millicent. We'd direct you to the end of Prof Malewitz's video here for an answer. The "nature" of the imagery involves not only what senses are being appealed to in a given passage--touch, taste, sight, and so on--but also the tone or mood that that imagery conveys--serious, funny, sad, frightening, etc. and what theme might be conveyed through that imagery.
      Hope that helps!

    Literary Imagery definitely functions as a way for the reader to better imagine the world of the piece of literature and also add symbolism to the work. I liked everything you've explained here, and I feel you can supplement this article with examples of different types of sensory imagery: oakwords.com/sensory-imagery-literary-examples/
    I also read that Stephen King, the master of gory description, never leaves out tactile imagery in his captivating descriptions, as is evident in the crime writer's above description of the three types of terror. Tactile imagery relates to the sense of touch.

    • @SWLF
      @SWLF  4 роки тому +1

      Many thanks, Bushra! We certainly agree with you that tactile imagery can help to convey the worldview of certain characters (and the general mood of a literary work). Thanks for pushing the conversation forward!
