Analysis and comments on The Captured Goddess by Amy Lowell

Comment 2 of 2, added on December 18th, 2007 at 10:38 PM.

i Believe that Amy Lowell is trying to portray the female struggle of
sbserviance in the 1800's and earlt 1900's. The era was littered with such
instances. the feelings of this are portrayed through Amy's feelingon
entraptment due to her own short comings. As a child she was not allowed to
attend collage, so i feel this is almost her own internal struggle against
subservience.

Imagination is a place to go on order to escape reality. Often it is
filled with colours and sunshine. It is priceless like gems and has an
immeasurable sparkle. Reality is often harsh and gray, like the “narrow
streeted city”. It is marked by hustle and bustle, bargaining, and
cheating. This poem really describes the instance in which reality and
imagination collide. When these to worlds intertwine Amy Lowell portrays a
feeling of confusion, sadness, and fear.
