Answer 2

Answer:

POETIC DEVICES:

• Personification: In the poem, the poet refers to the tiger by the word “he” which is used for humans. So, the tiger has been personified as a human with feelings that can understand.
• Metonymy: Metonymy is the substitution of the name of an attribute for that of the element meant. In the poem, the poet calls the frame of the tiger its strength (Stanza 4).
• Metaphor: The poet compares the circumstance of the tiger withinside the cage and withinside the forest. He tells how the tiger feels withinside the cage and the way it might have been feeling if it has been free.
• Alliteration: It is the incidence of the identical letter or sound at the start of adjoining or intently related words. e.g.  “must be lurking in the shadow”, “in which plump deer pass”, and “in a concrete cell”.
• Symbolism: it's miles using symbolic images and oblique suggestions to explicit mystical ideas. In the poem, the poet describes the eyes of the tiger and the stars withinside the sky as super. The eyes are vivid both due to rage or due to their majestic look. On the alternative hand, the stars are super due to the fact they twinkle withinside the sky.
• Oxymoron-quiet rage.(stanza 1)
• Rhythm Scheme.
• imagery: in the poem the poet has created an image of a tiger's activity.
