Summary of the poem portrait of a prince by denis martindale
Answers
We are accustomed to getting frightened by tigers because of their appearances. It is our automatic reaction when we talk about tigers, but the poem entitled Portrait of the Prince by Denis Martindale has a deeper depiction of tigers. It describes not just the physical appearance of a tiger but also its deep characteristic mentally and emotionally. It highlighted the other side of a tiger not just its scary phase but also its heroic side.
The first part of the poem focuses on the detailed physical appearance of a tiger not just mere definition but each trait that a tiger has different important functions as well as symbolisms like this line from the poem "Behold the tiger's face up close, with all its deep-etched lines. Like charcoal ridges by his nose, How clearly each defines. Behold the tiger's ears erect, Aware of all that breathes". It is clear that it is really more on the physical. The second part said a lot about the mental power of a tiger like this line "With mental filters that select the rustling of the leaves." It imparts how intelligent a tiger can be. That it can identify distant facts. The third part concludes how a tiger can be so powerful, it can sense if there is an existing danger. It also said that tigers always win because they are powerful physically, in their mind and soul. It was emphasized with this line on the poem "Behold the tiger's neck so still And poised with regal grace, portraying here the prince's will, despite the human race. Behold the tiger's sovereign style." It tells that a tiger isn't just a scary animal. It is powerful at all aspects and such an example of a hero.
The poem just simply wanted to describe the tiger as model of being a hero. From the title itself, it already says it all. On the last part it even said "Behold the tiger's treachery! Flee from his handsome grin! For in a race, I think you'll see that tigers always win!" It clearly shows how powerful a tiger can be. It can fight for himself and for other animals.
