How does the reference to Brueghel affect the meaning of the poem?
“ In Brueghel’s Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster; ”
A. Auden references Brueghel’s Icarus to show contrast between art and poetry.
B. The reference helps illustrate how suffering occurs when no one is watching.
C. Auden uses the reference to show how things get misinterpreted.
D. Auden mentions Brueghel’s Icarus because he liked the painting.
B.is the correct answer
Each line contains ten syllables.
I feel that the theme in these lines has something to do with law, ruling, listening, obeying and being in charge.
A few quote examples to help support this theme is/are: "...girls usually side with their mother...."
"...her authority in the home shrank as my mother's authority gradually extended..."
"... the law of life..."
"...obey the law readily and willingly."
