Question

what comparison does the poet used explain the difference between anger and Malice?​

Answer 1

In the poem, the speaker experiences anger and wrath toward his friend, but when he talks to his friend about it, this puts an end to his negative feelings. However, when he feels anger and wrath toward his enemy, he does not talk about it, and so his negative feelings grow. The speaker continues to nurse these feelings, and so they grow bigger and bigger and eventually result in the death of his foe. The speaker is "glad" to see his foe dead beneath his tree.
