![]() ![]() Then the final stanza starts off with saying \"Hear the tolling of the bells, Iron bells\". This is like the second stanza except he says, \"Hear the mellow wedding bells, golden bells\" And gold is supposed to last forever like marriage. The first stanzxa begins with \"Hear the sledges with the bells, Silver bells\" and when you think of silver bells you think of a light little chime and it sounds happy. Poe used at least one metaphor in every stanza. In the fourth stanza he said iron bells and used that as a metaphor to death. In the third stanza he used words such as shriek, horiffied, and clamor to express a scarier tone. He used words like chiming, tinkling, and ditty in the first and second stanzas to show joy and happiness. The central message of the poem \"The Bells\" by Edgar Allen Poe is that you can take any common object and make it worth meaning and even use it to explain different life situations like Poe did. this is all just my opinion, but I have done Socratic Seminars and everybody seemed to have a different of view on it. And the last season being Winter comes along and it is so cold outside and things are kind of mopey/ depressing. Things aren\'t really all that happy and fun. The temperature starts dropping and seems aren\'t as perky, you could say. Then comes the Summer season and everything is still happy, but also a decent amount of weddings happen during this season, hence the \"mellow wedding bells\". In the Spring season, everything is blooming and everything just seems very joyful, same as in the first stanza, (besides the blooming). In another way, it could be about the seasons, starting out with Spring and ending with Winter, of course. By the fourth stanza, it is kind of depressing, and in his mind, there isn\'t much to live for. Everything starts to get more obnoxious, and there are more problems in his life. As he gets older, he gets married and he has very much joy, but then things start to go downhill. as the poem starts out, hes happy at his young age. I think one of the things it could be about is Poe\'s life. I think that this poem is a poem that has different meanings to every person. All together my opinion of this poem is really wonderful!!! H.E.S 3rd period This whole poem could possibly be about his wife. An example could be the Green Reaper, casting the end of the poem into really a great ending. And in the last stanza Poe talks about the Iron bells which seems to change the tone into sorrow. How the bells become out of tune and don\'t create a soothing sound any longer. In the third stanza however, the cheerful and excitement drifts into terror. These first two stanza\'s are keeping a happy tone. I think Poe is trying to let the readers know the excitement of a wedding itself. Wedding bells! The time when love is in the air. He writes the line \"What a world of merriment their melody foretells!\" Describing the cheerful moments of being a kid! The second stanza uses golden bells. Referring to the first stanza Poe uses silver bells to what I think is symbolizing childhood. I believe the poem was about the stages of life. He thought twords the end of the poem life was a waste of time. \" only the human heart a stone \" could imply that he fell out of love and the marriage ended badly. That could refer to horrers and deaths ect that happen as you grow older. Then he mentions in part three the loud bells. So i think he is forshadowing a little for us there. He states \" oh the future how it tells \" if you remember in the raven, the woman died. The wedding bells represent his marriage. If you wish me to prove this poem is about growing up, it says in segment two about wedding bells. Poe made it pretty difficult in some of his deep poems for people to understand. And his way of venting his feelings was through poetry. then as he grew older ( as most people do ) he began to become old and he was unhappy with himself. He was happy at first ( just as the mood is happy at the beginning of the tale ). I believe that this poem is talking about poes experiences as a child.
