Analysis and comments on The Plot Against The Giant by Wallace Stevens

Comment 2 of 2, added on December 3rd, 2005 at 9:02 PM.

What an odd comment from Tamra! There are three girls in the poem, and no
women. The poem compares three senses, scent, sight, and finally sound; the
last is the most powerful-- it "undoes" the giant-- because it is
self-reflexive, referring to poetry's origins in song.

Under a womans exterior is a hidden flower with the power to bend the will
of even a giant. Her submission is never a mistake.

Tamra from United States
