Read these lines from Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself.” Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; (I am large, I contain multitudes.) What does Whitman mean when he says, “I contain multitudes”? He is showing that he is capable of writing many poems. He is suggesting that one person is influenced by many others. He is suggesting that a human being has different aspects. He is indicating that he has more than one personality.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.

Will you speak before I am gone? will you prove already too late?
