describe the kubla khan as a poem of vision.
Answers
Explanation:
Samuel Coleridge’s poem "Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment” is a particularly interesting poem which represents a vision in a dream of the writer. The poem includes beautiful and exquisite descriptions of the scenery which contributes greatly to the imagery of the dream. The dream text specifically along with the title of the poem, sends the reader into a dreamlike state. Coleridge manipulates the text in such ways that seem to make everyday objects seem abnormal and lacks logical coherence. There are also scene and mood changes frequently resembling elements of a dream. Also Coleridge being a romantic poet uses his interest in external and malevolent agencies to represent the dream in a dark way. The starting key piece to this poem, which contributes to the way in which the poem is perceived as a dream is the title: “Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment”. This is important to realize that Coleridge intentionally added the subtitle. By adding this, the dream text can be more easily interpreted. Coleridge intentionally puts this into the title because he wants the readers to know that this is a vision in a dream. By having the reader know that this is a vision in a dream, it can help shape the way the reader perceives the poem. Without this, it may not be obvious at all that the entire poem is a vision of a dream.
