Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain how Wordsworth uses language and structure to present an idyllic view of nature and arguably suggest that mankind belongs in nature in ‘To My Sister’.

Show transcript
Arguably, Wordsworth uses sibilance, assonance, and euphony to contribute to the idea that nature is idyllic. Wordsworth may use asyndetic listing to show nature as enveloping. Wordsworth arguably implies that nature appeals to our rational "minds" as well as our emotions. The regularity of the rhyme scheme could also contribute to the image of nature as idyllic.
