Thinking Activity on Poem Ode on Solitude

Ode on Solitude

Alexander Pope's poem, "Ode on Solitude", sets a very peaceful mood. The relaxed language that Pope chooses to use makes the calm, routine lifestyle of a farmer seem more appealing than usual. He focuses on the idea of using only one's own means to survive while living completely alone but he does not make it seem boring or melancholy. The various techniques that he uses, such as uniform stanzas, a predictable rhyme scheme and simple language makes it seen as if the speaker is not some poet that is trying to make it seem as if the speaker is not some poet that is trying to take on a foreign voice, describes the farmer in the same language that he would most likely use.
