The paper analyzes the poem "Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden through four key thematic lenses: speaker and audience dynamics, imagery and symbolism, sound elements, and form. It discusses the gender and emotional landscape of the speaker, the use of sensory language, sound patterns, and structural features to explore how these elements contribute to the poem's impact. Additionally, it relates the poem to Auden's theory of poetry as a compelling speech act and examines its sociopolitical implications in the context of 1930s England, considering Auden's personal background.

This paper attempts a stylistic study of a poem. It targets to unveil the deeper underpinnings of semanticity in condensed literary pieces, particularly in poetry, as a consequence of the style employed by an author. Among other findings, the study uncovered the peculiar use of lexis and the features embedded in such peculiar use. It brings to the fore, the heavy use of deviation and parallelism in drumming home the theme of the poem. And finally, a fundamental literary feature used which is worthy of note and which the study has clearly drawn attention to in the analysis, is the foregrounding of the entire literary piece, which gives it a unique outlook. On the surface, one might not notice the effect of this literary technique but the study has meticulously pointed this out. Article visualizations:
