Life by Charlotte Brontë

This poem reminds me a lot of Hope by Dickinson because it talks I the forgiving nature of things. It resembles the Shakespearean sober we read in class because it also congrats the good with the bad but with the over arching theme that those bad make the good. The diction is informal and it reads as if you are talking to someone describing a day they had or just a self revelation. The syntac is shirt sentences with single worded sentences to express action or a feeling/expression. It's telling readers to be grateful for what they have and to not take advantage of the time they spend and to forget about what the present bad brings. But focus in what the future brings. Poem has a shift at "yet" that transitions the poem from the contradictory things of life to the personified triumphant spirit of hope and life that reiterates the theme of encouragement.
