| description | This research paper observes the figurative language on Thomas Hardy’s
poem. The aim of the study is to reveal the dominant figurative language used in
Thomas Hardy’s poems. Figurative language is one of the elements of poetry that
has become the poet’s way of expressing the art of his poems and communicating
his language to know the poet’s idea. It is expected that the result of this research
will enrich the writer’s knowledge of English literature, especially in
understanding the meaning.
The study uses a documentary data source, which is primary source. The
primary sources are the text of poem itself: Ah Are You Digging On My Grave, the
Man He Killed, Neutral Tones, I Look Into My Glass, I Need Not Go, The
Convergence of The Twain, and Without Ceremony. The secondary sources are
Thomas Hardy’s biography and other data dealing with the research. The method
of the data collection is observation and documentation.
Based on the analysis, the writer concludes that Thomas Hardy uses some
figures of speech in his poems. They are: 1). Hyperbole, 2). Metaphor, 3).
Apostrophe, 4). Metonymy, 5). Paradox, 6). Personification, 7). Symbol, and 8).
Understatement/Litotes. In addition, Thomas Hardy prefers to describe ideas,
object and another by giving a pressure weight redundantly to get the intensive
effect. Therefore, it can bring the readers imagination in his agreement with love,
nature, reality, pessimistic, and the contrary states of the human soul. It is
necessary to know and understand the meaning of poem through figures of speech
used. |
