Explanation:
The poem “The schoolboy” by William Blake has been told through the perspective of a school going boy. The boy is fed up with the daily routine of gong school and coming up. He wants to explore the natural beauty of the world. He thinks that he has been trapped in the monotonous way of living the life. The boy tells about the miserable conditions he has to endure as when he goes to the school. Further, he asks the world that when he has been made to explore the beauty of nature, why is he captured in the daily routine of the life. He persuades his parents and asks them to give their favor in helping him to change his situation. He questions to his parents that after the time will be spent, it will never return back to him.
The lines of the poem have a rhyming scheme of ABABC. In the fourth stanza, the poet uses rhetorical questions. Rhetorical questions are the questions which are asked not to get any answer but contains an answer. It creates a dramatic effect and focuses on the issue rather than getting an answer. Lines which uses rhetorical questions are:
“How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?”
The metaphor is also used in the poem when the poet compares the youth with “spring” in the phrase “his youthful spring!” A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things which possess at least any one idea common to each other. The things may be completely different from each other but would have either one characteristic in common to them.
