ENG2602ASSIGNMENT 3
2024
DUE DATE: 13
AUGUST 2024
, QUESTION 1: POETRY
Introduction
E.E. Sule's poem "Farewell" offers a poignant critique of the state of his
country following independence, capturing a profound sense of frustration,
outrage, and disillusionment. The poet uses a rich array of poetic techniques,
including metaphors, personification, and vivid imagery, to express his
disappointment at the forced migration of educated professionals and the
dashed hopes for a better future. Through these literary devices, Sule not only
laments the loss of intellectual capital but also conveys a broader sense of
betrayal and hopelessness in the wake of political and social upheaval. This
essay will explore how Sule’s use of diction and various poetic techniques
vividly illustrates his discontent with the state of his country, focusing on the
themes of frustration, outrage, disappointment, and sadness.
Analysis of Diction and Metaphors
The poem opens with the striking image of "tight jinxed professors gazing at
the immensity of nothing," a metaphor that immediately sets the tone of
disillusionment. The term "tight jinxed" implies that these professors are
trapped by a curse or misfortune, unable to escape the bleak reality of their
situation. The "immensity of nothing" further underscores their sense of
emptiness and futility, suggesting that their efforts and contributions have
been rendered meaningless in the face of a failing system. This metaphor
highlights the profound disconnect between the intellectual aspirations of
these scholars and the harsh political and social realities they face.
Sule continues to use metaphors to convey the sense of loss and dislocation
experienced by the educated elite. The image of "a multitude of books
speeding away in escape" symbolizes the exodus of knowledge and
intellectual resources from the country. Books, representing education and
scholarship, are depicted as fleeing from the nation, emphasizing the brain
drain and the loss of academic potential. This metaphor underscores the
devastating impact of political instability on the intellectual fabric of the
country, reflecting a broader theme of lost opportunities and unfulfilled
promises.
