The poem begins by saying that how pleasant to know Mr. Lear, however the next line said that he is ill-tempered and queer. The contradiction of his characters is full of this poem. The contradiction explain the irony meanings in this poem that make audience confuse that whether Mr. Lear is pleasant or not. This poem is in third person that it seems that someone try to describe Mr. Lear. However, in my opinion, this poem seems to be a poem to write about him when I read about the wig-like beard. The description about he weeps by the side of ocean and he weeps on the top of hill. It seems to write about his experiences about his traveling. Since the sixth stanza, the atmosphere expressed sad feelings that he is a crazy old English travels abroad.
“He weeps by the side of the ocean,
He weeps on the top of the hill;
He purchases pancakes and lotion,
And chocolate shrimps from the mill.”
From the Oxford English Dictionary, “weep” is to manifest the combination of bodily symptoms (instinctive cries or moans, sobs, and shedding of tears), which is the natural, audible, and visible expression of painful (and sometimes of intensely pleasurable) emotion. Weep emphasizes the painful feelings about Lear. However, the nonsense style changes the atmosphere that he purchases pancakes and lotion. The insignificance description was added into the upset sentences. Moreover, the poem was ended by “How pleasant to know Mr. Lear” which was repeated to the first sentence and title of this poem. The irony atmosphere of these repeated sentence show both positive and negative characters about Lear to audience.
From the structure of this poem, audience could know Mr. Lear is concrete and fastidious and also know he is ill-tempered and queer. The irony title is repeated at the front and end of this poem to emphasize that Mr. Lear’s positive and negative characters. Although he is odd, he has many friends. However, he felt upset when he travelled around. The nonsense verse style enhances the contradiction atmosphere in this poem
