In sola owonibi's "Homeless not
Hopeless", the use of metaphor is
significant because it is a device that
accounts for the effectiveness of the
poem. This is aptly captured in the
following lines:

"...Angels,we open gates of your
destiny".

This theme is demonstrated in the
relationship that exist btw
Raina and sergius, Raina and Blunts
chil, louka and Nicola, and
louka and sergius. All these characters
are into different degree of love
relationship, some of which cumulated
in marriage.
Raina's love for sergius is the romantic
idealist love that exist
mainly on paper. This type of love
cannot face reality. Raina
and sergius worship each others
untested integrity,
nobility,purity and greatness but fall
apart at the first contact
with realities. The comming of realitic
and pratical bluntschil
destroy rainas romantic obession with
sergius. She went
brought into real-life love certain
weakness at the expenses of
sergius. Her new love relationship with
bluntschil eventually
blossomed into marriage.

Irony: it is indeed an irony that lack,
whom lady Bracknel
despises because of his poor
background, eventually turns out to be
her nephew, thus transforming to a
rich background. Similarly, lady
Bracknel whom jack gates so much and
criticises, turns out to be his aunt. It is
equally an irony that lack the child lost
twenty-eight years ago in a
bag turns out to be in the custody of
thesame bag in which
he got lost, thereby solving the riddle
of his loss.
(7ii). Allusion: by mentioning the french
revolution, the
playwright alludes the evil deeds and
effects of Napoleon's wars of
1801-1806.
Again lack excuses miss prism's
supposed immoral life
occasioned by her prolonged
sprinsterhood. he forgives her and says
she does not merit being stoned. This
is a clear allusion to the woman in the
bible, in john 8:4-11, whom jesus
forgave and set free and cautioned not
to continue in her adulterous life.
Finally, by questioning the rationale
behind having one law for men and
another for women, lack is no doubt
alluding to the much-talked-about
gender
inequality.
(7iii).
Suspense: The play is soaked in
suspense, from the beginning to the
end. Tension grips the reader who
cannot wait to know lack's final hope,
having suffered greatly.
The reader wants to know the
outcome of his disappearance. His faith
is only known when he returns with
the bag and miss prism recognizes it.
Wordsworth was a central writer of
the Romantic movement in the
Victorian era known as English
Romanticism.
It is full of key Romantic features in its
form, language and themes. The poet
in the first verse tells us he 'Wandered
Lonely as a Cloud' This simile,of the
poet comparing himself to a cloud
conveys the image of him floating
loftily and dreamily, like someone with
romantic ideals. 'The Daffodils' ,the
central symbol of the poem are
personified i.e given human qualities
'Fluttering and dancing in the breeze'
and are what the poet sees as he
walks.
The daffodils 'Out do the Waves' that
also dance, as conveyed in the fifth
stanza, coupled with the clouds are all
nature personified, that the Victorian
romantic poets were fascinated with.
'O'er hills and dales' The shortening of
O'er from Over is what is called Archaic
i.e. it is abbreviated: a syntactical
feature of language the Romantic
poets used a lot and gives it an olden
Romantic quality as you read out loud.
The poet is describing what he sees of
nature; 'Beside the Lake, beneath the
tree's' and the Romantic poets
Wordsworth and Coleridge were well
known for walking to help stimulate
idea's for their poetry, which we see in
the last stanza when the poet,
remembers recalls the Daffodils in his
mind: 'For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood, They
flash upon that inward eye' The simile
of comparing the Daffodils, to being as
continuous as the 'Stars that shine'
and 'Twinkle on the milky way'
supports the metaphor of the Stars
and their - in the night sky.
The heavens and the elements of
nature is a the key themes the
Victorian Romantic poets were
fascinated by, and links to the ideals of
romanticism.
