Now, Joy is born of parents poor,
And Pleasure of our richer kind;
Though Pleasure's free, she cannot sing
As sweet a song as Joy confined.
Pleasure's a moth, that sleeps by day
And dances by false glare at night;
But joy's a Butterfly, that loves
To spread its wings in Nature's light.

Detalles de la respuesta
The answer is contrast. The first stanza highlights the contrast between Joy and Pleasure. Joy is described as being born of "parents poor" while Pleasure is associated with the "richer kind." Despite being confined, Joy is able to sing a sweeter song than Pleasure who is free but unable to sing as sweetly. This contrast between the two emotions is emphasized through the use of contrasting imagery and language, with Joy being likened to a butterfly that loves to spread its wings in nature's light, while Pleasure is described as a moth that sleeps by day and dances by false glare at night.

Detalles de la respuesta
A character that develops with events and situations in a novel is a "main" character. Main characters are the ones around whom the story revolves and who undergo significant changes or development throughout the story. They are often the protagonists or the antagonists and have a significant impact on the outcome of the story. As the story progresses, their personalities, motivations, and relationships evolve, making them complex and multidimensional. In contrast, minor characters are those who play a small role in the story and are often static in their characterization. Flat characters are those who are one-dimensional and lack depth or complexity. Sound characters are not a recognized category in literary analysis.

Detalles de la respuesta
The poem suggests that "Joy" is natural and satisfying. The first line describes Joy as being born of parents poor, which suggests that it is not dependent on material wealth. The poem goes on to contrast Joy with "Pleasure," which is described as being of a richer kind but not as sweet a singer as Joy. Pleasure is also described as being artificial and transitory, like a moth that sleeps during the day and dances by false glare at night. In contrast, Joy is compared to a butterfly that loves to spread its wings in nature's light, suggesting that it is natural and fulfilling. Therefore, the poem portrays Joy as a deeper and more meaningful emotion that comes from within and is not dependent on external factors such as wealth or material possessions.

''False glare'' refers to
Detalles de la respuesta
In the poem, "false glare" refers to man-made light. The line "And dances by false glare at night" implies that Pleasure is attracted to and distracted by artificial light, which can be interpreted as the artificial pleasures that wealth can provide. The use of the word "false" also suggests that these pleasures are not genuine or authentic. In contrast, Joy is symbolized by a butterfly that spreads its wings in nature's light, which suggests that it is natural and pure. Therefore, false glare can be seen as a symbol for artificiality, which is in contrast with the natural world.
