Question

Have students turn to a partner or form small groups to engage in a collaborative discussion about the way Rilke uses

imagery and other poetic devices in the poem.(Spanish Dancer)

Answer 1

When Rilke uses Imagery, Rilke describes the dancer with strong words. For example, confidence, exultant, and powerful. Rilke uses personification by saying the fire is too tight around her body. Since he says she is flinging it out, it portrays her as confident and brave. When Rilke uses alliteration the author uses the words, faster, fans, flames, and furnace. Since the author uses the vocabulary of passionate and furnace it describes the subject as confident and determined.
