12. Communication versus Poetics Poetic language is set apart Poetic language systems can be used to process poetics solely on their own because poetic language uses poetic signs if language is communicative then there is no deeper meaning

13. Requirements of poetic language Create dissonance in the reader-46 allow the text to have its own authority-46 let the reader not have direct answers-46

14. Allusion and Metaphor both require a specific culture-53 both require specific memory on the part of author and reader both are ‘improper’ forms of expression both allow substitution of denotation with connotation-55

15. Difference in Allusion and Metaphor Metaphor shows what it’s trying to do while not fitting into perfect -56 Allusion fits perfectly fine in the text but requires the reader to go beyond if for a more full understanding
