Educating rita/invictus
poem (into the world)
- INVICTUS BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENERY
- Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my
unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the
bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but
the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how
strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my
soul.
- The last two are bothe metaphors are
connotaticy,"I am the master of my fate: I am
the captain of my soul" These two metaphors
are essentially the entire meaning of the
poem;if you are unconquerable only you can
determine your fate. You the are the master and
captain of you destiny.The tone and mood of
the poem and its poet is serious,stong and
deep yet somehow leaves the reader inspired
- The first stanza is mainly henley introducing himself emotionally
- "out of the night that covers me,from pole to pole" Night is a metaphor for suffering of any kind.It is also part of a simile and a hyperbole in which the speaker compares th darkness of his suffering to the blackness of a hellish pit stretching from pole to pole.In line 4 unconquerable establishes the theme and a link with the title
- "it matters not how strait the gate" strait means narrow, restircted which means he must pass through the narrow gate.He beieves he can do it in spite of the punishments that fate has allotted him
- Alliteration in the words "clutch,circumstance and cried &
in not and nor & and bludgeonings,bloody,but, and
unbowed.
- Invictus is from the latin word meaning "unconquerable
- "i am the master of my fate: i am the captain of my soul" this shows they can manage their own life.Life is a struggle and is not absolute.However, with authoirt that they have over their life, they can procceed on the road of their choise.
