What feelings evoke when you read the poem " a jellyfish "?
Answers
Explanation:
A Jellyfish is a poem by an American poetess and naturalist Marianne Moore makes a keen observation of a strange organism of the nature with aromantic sense of wonder. But the poem is modernist in form and deeply symbolic and multiple in meaning. The surface meaning or literal description and wonder of seeing a jellyfish is itself interesting. But the nature of the jellyfish evokes other thoughts in the reader’s mind. The “fluctuating” jellyfish could be a symbol of human nature, there emotion, ambitions and so on. It is also comparable to poetic expression. In yet another sense, the jellyfish may also compare with women, like the poetess herself. The poem is formless in form, like a jellyfish itself.
An even more interesting interpretation of the poem, as suggested by some critics is this: the jellyfish is a symbol of a woman and her dynamic, flexible, complex and creative nature. Of course, the writer is a female. Women are beautiful and they like to be ‘precious’. At least, some like wearing precious stones like amethyst. If we interpret the Jellyfish as ‘woman’, it means that the speaker accepts the male myths about women. Some ‘males’ believe that women are inconsistent, unreliable, mysterious, weak and unable to keep promises or secret. These are misconceptions of their uniqueness. Women are more flexible, versatile and able to adapt, dynamic and creative, and tender. Being mysterious is a human quality: everyone is mysterious. The positive qualities attached to women by this interpretation at least balances the male-made concepts about women.And finally, since the writer of the poem is a female, we can also say that the image of the jellyfish also symbolizes the beauty and tenderness, and the complex and flexible nature of women.
