Show transcript
Barrett Browning uses an extended metaphor of vines to convey how separation in a relationship can be corruptive. She uses natural imagery to reveal how reunification can be rejuvenating in a relationship. She uses declaratives and imperatives to convey her urgency to be reunified with her lover. She uses exclamatory sentences to suggest the speaker finds the intensity of her thoughts emotionally overwhelming. She uses euphemistic language to convey her sexual and physical desire.
