Question

‘(I am Rapunzel, I have not a care;

Life in a tower is tranquil and rare;

I’ll certainly not let down my bright hair!)’

Questions:

18. What does the speaker refer to when she says that she has not a care ?

19. How does the poet use analogy in these lines?​

Answer 1

Rapunzel was a character from a fairy tale that was captured in tower by a witch. The witch used to climb the tower with the help of long hair of Rapunzel that were let down by her through the window. So, now Amanda wants to be Rapunzel because she feels that life in the tower will be peaceful and unusual.

An Analogy is a likeness or similarity between things (a subject and an analog) that are otherwise unlike. Analogy is the comparison of two pairs which have the same relationship. There are many examples of different types of poetry. An example of Analogy Poetry Type can be found in the poetic work of Robert Frost
