We take a second look at metaphor in this episode using Margaret Atwood's "[you fit into me]", a deceivingly complex poem. Notice how Atwood uses a very simple structure--two stanzas, each composed of a simple couplet. This structure is plain and sets us up to receive two contrasting similes related to a single subject: the relationship between the speaker and another person. You an find a copy of the poem to download and work with as well as other materials to help you in your study and understanding of great literature at our website eliteliterarybookgroup.com. Thanks for listening.
