Sounds

Sounds are very important on making a poems attitude tone and meaning! In sounds are styles and structures such as rhyme, meter, form, and poetic syntax. They each add different things to the musical quality of poetry. Others such as alliteration, enjambment, caesura, assonance, and especially onomatoepoeia. Now the sounds in the poem connect very closely to the meaning of the poem!! In hamlet, the exaggerated 0h! And Fe Fi! Add emotion to the story of hamlets journey. The ghost in hamlet speaks in blank verse which adds emphasis to who the ghost is and how he acts. Sounds cannot be ignored because although they go undetected sometimes they are very important to themes and meanings!
