Para 3
The poet uses metaphors constantly in the poem. "Witness to that deepest night." The poet combines two metaphors in one to strengthen the effect of it. The poet transfers the quality of a deep night to the depths of the ocean. The poet also transfers the quality of a witness to the tuna fish. This is a way of describing the ocean. The metaphor is describing what the tuna has been through, in terms of the ocean. The poet uses two combined metaphors to make the sentence really powerful.
Para 4
Metaphors transfer a quality from one thing to another. The poet uses a metaphor to describe the surroundings of the fish. Surrounded by the earths green froth - These lettuces, bunches of carrots - In this example the poet transverse a the quality of green froth to vegetables. these examples are,setting the scene and describing the surroundings of the tuna using a metaphor. Metaphors are very useful for describing and transferring a quality from one thing to another.
Para 5
Getting Pablo Neruda's idea of the ocean across is very clear to the reader. In the second verse paragraph the poet uses listing to describe the ocean. Only you lived through the seas truth, Survived the Unknown, The unfathomable darkness. These are all ways of describing the ocean. Pablo Neruda uses listing to describe the ocean affectively and he describes how amazing he thinks the tuna is because the fish has survived so much. Listing is a very powerful literary device because it emphasises the subject a lot, in this case the ocean.
Para 6
These 3 examples are linked to the paragraph before where the poet used listing. The poet uses other languages in the poem to get his point across really strong. The depths of the sea. This is saying that the tuna swam to the bottom of the ocean, as deep as you can go. The great abyss, Le grand abîme. These two sentences are saying exactly the same thing just in another language. This is emphasising how much the poet wants to express his idea, especially to write it in another language.
