Imagery: Remember… This poem is filled with imagery that matches up with all the poetic devices, figurative language, and symbolism. All of this adds together to create this world of fantasy Coleridge is creating. Even though the ideas, events, motifs, etc. in this poem can be dark or “Gothic” it is still a prime example of Romanticism because of the themes, focus, and ideas. Pay attention to examples of this.

For each part you will create a sketch example of some poetic device, figurative language, or imagery you identified in that part. You will not be graded on your artistic ability, but on your ability to pull examples of poetic devices, figurative language, or imagery from the text and correctly identify it. Remember to fill it out as you go so you don’t have to do it all at once and to have different examples of figurative language.
