Review of the Poem “An Essay on Man” by Alexander Pope

“An Essay on Man A” Alexander Pope A Understand yourself as god will be able to accept you and begin to study you. Humans tend to believe they are the best but not quite. A man is just worthless, not understanding how much that impacts him as they decide from evil and good. If man were to commit to evil, they would have a reason for such; instead it was intelligent or not.

Humans tend to realize what effect they have R What one of my conclusions lead to a theme was when the pope decides that happiness is just another ex off. consciousness If only man and women were to live and treat gods ruling with open ears, all is happy and understands the world along with its system T The tone of the poem comes from telling us what people are in reality. The objective is where men and women and their place in our world. As the pope states that man is placed here but doesn’t know what a mans place or why man was set here, to begin with. The pope uses greek god mythology to explain and shows that society is not defined. What the pope is describing is how everyone has great qualities that everyone wants rather than the bad attributes the rest as along with them. W I’ve found some lines that I can quite understand and make points about. In lines 5-6are quite interesting. It is in a sense that number 5 shows a man that’s great and smart, just about perfect. In front 6 it explains how the other is weak. With both lines side by side, I believe it shows how man is weak yet man is also strong showing one good quality over the other, but then something changes on line 7.

Another person or man is between both the people as if he was stuck but not stuck, another example of how man is in the middle. Essay on Man is nine heroic couplets, 18 lines -a heroic couplet is a stanza consisting of two rhyming lines in iambic pentameter, some type of repeat into the rhyme scheme S It has a clear message in the entire poem. It starts by expelling some kind of a lousy intelligence as well as a sort of rude but grateful gesture and how man is somewhat smart and capable of problems but yet weak in its environment but finished with a calm man and a man that understands gods will. The poem itself is quite small but packs a ton of meaning into it as it expresses itself onto the reader as the reader must be open-minded to truly understand what the poem is attempting to speak out to the reader and being able to grasp all of its information CS.

In conclusion, this poem is represented as how a man is stuck between being perfect and imperfect. As it shows evidence as for how the poem wants a man to become just in between rather than attached and hopes to have all men freed into oblivious.
