This is also meant to give opportunity to readers to have a description on how the character stood. The device is used to convey the gist of what the writer wanted to put across. Moreover, the writer blows in new air in his work when he repeatedly use sound T in the following sentence “ The Wedding-Guest stood still” (Coleridge 7). It also tries to breathe some life in the play. This explains the degree of attentiveness of the character. In part I, the first paragraph, the metaphor “ By thy long grey beard and glittering eye” has been used by Coleridge” to create a visualization in the minds of the readers on the nature of the character’s eye and hair (Coleridge 1).Ĭoleridge also tries to make the reader visualize the body of the character how he/she looks like and seek to form questions in their mind concerning the health of the person when he says “ he holds “He holds him with his skinny hand” (3).Ĭoleridge strives to bring in another new imagery device known as similes when he says “ And listens like a three years’ child” (Coleridge 5). The above imagery techniques have been explored in every section and throughout the poem to energize the work and move beyond just a mere study of language.
