초록
This study aims to investigate the rhetorical figures and their effects in Emily Dickinson’s poems. Dickinson is well known for her mysterious, ungrammatical, and idiosyncratic use of language. Above all, one of her distinctive styles is the repetition of the same words, phrases and/or clauses. This study attempts to interpret and understand how repetition works and why it is frequently used in her poems by analyzing rhetorical figures derived from rhetoric. These figures are the literary device to deliver the speaker’s message. Thus, this paper examines two specific rhetorical figures designating the repetition of words or phrases: 1) polysyndeton—the repeated use of conjunctions in linking words, clauses, or sentences, 2) symploce—the repetition of the same initial and final words in successive clauses or sentences. This study analyzes how these figures are used in Dickinson’s poems and their effects in delivering each poem’s message to the reader. Using the figure polysyndeton, the speaker can create rhythm, enhance the speaker’s credibility, and deliver her message by slowing down or speeding up the pace. The symploce also creates rhythm, makes the image of the circuit, and reveals the inner conflicts of the speaker. It is also found that the effects of the same figure can differ from each poem depending on the context.
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the rhetorical figures and their effects in Emily Dickinson’s poems. Dickinson is well known for her mysterious, ungrammatical, and idiosyncratic use of language. Above all, one of her distinctive styles is the repetition of the same words, phrases and/or clauses. This study attempts to interpret and understand how repetition works and why it is frequently used in her poems by analyzing rhetorical figures derived from rhetoric. These figures are the literary device to deliver the speaker’s message. Thus, this paper examines two specific rhetorical figures designating the repetition of words or phrases: 1) polysyndeton—the repeated use of conjunctions in linking words, clauses, or sentences, 2) symploce—the repetition of the same initial and final words in successive clauses or sentences. This study analyzes how these figures are used in Dickinson’s poems and their effects in delivering each poem’s message to the reader. Using the figure polysyndeton, the speaker can create rhythm, enhance the speaker’s credibility, and deliver her message by slowing down or speeding up the pace. The symploce also creates rhythm, makes the image of the circuit, and reveals the inner conflicts of the speaker. It is also found that the effects of the same figure can differ from each poem depending on the context.
