Definition of a Stanza

Imagine that you're visiting someone's house for the first time, and they're giving you a tour. As you go from room to room, you'll notice that each room serves a different purpose and has a different feel to it. For example, the kitchen has a different atmosphere than the bathroom, and it certainly has a different purpose! Still, these rooms all work together to make the house complete.

In a sense, a poem is very similar to a house. Most poems are divided into stanzas, groups of lines, which function like the rooms of a house. In fact, stanza literally means 'room' in Italian. Traditionally, different kinds of stanzas are defined by their meter, the pattern of strong and weak syllables in each line, and rhyme scheme, the order in which rhymes occur. Of course, free verse, poetry that doesn't use rhyme or meter, can also use stanzas to create pauses and organize the poem on the page.

Examples of Stanzas

Let's start with couplets. A couplet is a two-line stanza that traditionally rhymes. Gwendolyn Brooks' famous short poem 'We Real Cool' is written entirely in couplets:

'We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.'

As you can see, every line except for the last one ends with the word 'We.' Starting a sentence or phrase on one line and ending it on the next is called enjambment. Because Brooks' sentences cross over stanza breaks as well as line breaks, this poem also uses stanza enjambment.

Next up, we have three-line stanzas, which are known as tercets. Tercets play a key role in a traditional poetic form called terza rima, which uses a chain-like rhyme scheme (aba bcb cdc). Here is an example from Robert Frost's poem 'Acquainted with the Night':

'I have been one acquainted with the night. (a)
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. (b)
I have outwalked the furthest city light. (a)

I have looked down the saddest city lane. (b)
I have passed by the watchman on his beat (c)
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.' (b)

Another common stanza is the quatrain, which has four lines. One of the most popular forms of the quatrain is called the ballad stanza, which uses an abxb rhyme scheme (the third line doesn't rhyme) and a rhythm called common meter. An easy way to check for common meter is to sing a stanza to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme song. Try it with the following stanza from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner:

'The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, (a)
The furrow followed free; (b)
We were the first that ever burst (x)
Into that silent sea.' (b)

Now, let's take a look at the sestet, which has six lines. Although sestets appear often in poems with rhyme and meter, they also play an important role in a peculiar poetic form called the sestina. A sestina is a 39-line poem made of six sestets and one tercet. Instead of relying on rhyme and meter for organization, a sestina repeats the last words of the first six lines, or teleutons, also called teutons, in different patterns. Here are the first two stanzas of 'Sestina' by Elizabeth Bishop:

'September rain falls on the house.
In the failing light, the old grandmother
sits in the kitchen with the child
beside the Little Marvel Stove,
reading the jokes from the almanac,
laughing and talking to hide her tears.

What Is Symbolism?

'Harlem'

by Langston Hughes (1951)

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

In this poem about the African American experience during the first half of the 20th century, Langston Hughes uses objects like 'a raisin in the sun' and a 'festering sore' to describe what he thinks happens when dreams are put off or deferred. The images are powerful because they give a memorable and concrete idea of the ill effects of unrealized dreams. Writers, like Langston Hughes, frequently feature symbolism in their work, using an object, person, animal or even color to stand in for an abstract idea.

We are surrounded by symbols. The dove and yellow ribbon are just two of many symbols for peace throughout the world. In the United States, red, white and blue and the Statue of Liberty don't just symbolize America but also patriotism. Different cultures have their own symbols and symbolic meanings, so while most brides in the West wear white on their wedding day, in many Asian cultures, brides wear red, which represents good fortune.

Symbolism in Literature

Writers use symbolism to strengthen their writing, making it more interesting and adding a layer of deeper meaning. A second grader might write, 'I love Charlie!', but experienced writers like Robert Burns, who lived from 1759 - 1796, write, 'My love is like a red, red rose.'

We don't know how exactly the second grader loves Charlie. Is he her brother? A schoolyard crush? 'A red, red rose' says a lot more because of all of the ideas a red rose symbolizes in our and Burns' culture. A red rose means romance and passionate love.

'My love is like a red, red rose' is one type of symbolism used in literature (and The Bachelor): a metaphor. A metaphor and its cousin the simile both use comparisons between two objects or ideas. In this case, by comparing 'love' and 'a red, red rose,' Burns (and The Bachelor) use the rose as a symbol for romantic love. Another important type of symbolism found in literature is the use of story elements, like plot, setting, characters or objects in the text, to symbolize something more meaningful.

Allegories, such as George Orwell's 1945 novella Animal Farm, use stories with hidden meanings to share a lesson or provide commentary on institutions like government or religion. Authors often do this by extending symbols through an entire literary work. For example, the plot of Animal Farm, where farm animals rise up against their human masters, mirrors and critiques the political events in Russia in the early 1900s, with animal characters symbolizing real-life political figures.

In a novel like Kate Chopin's The Awakening (1899), the symbolism is less obvious. The main character, Edna Pontellier, is trapped by society's expectations of women, and mothers in particular. Chopin uses birds throughout the novel - a parrot and mockingbird in a cage, a pigeon house and a bird with a broken wing - as a way to symbolize Edna's feelings of being trapped.

What Is Imagery?

Think back to the Langston Hughes poem at the beginning of this lesson. Is there a particular image that stuck with you? Playwright Lorraine Hansberry was so inspired by the image of 'a raisin in the sun' as a symbol for the thwarted dreams of African Americans that she wrote a play on the topic and called it A Raisin in the Sun. First performed in 1959, A Raisin in the Sun does not have any literal raisins in the sun. Instead, it focuses on a black family living in poverty in Chicago's South Side.
