Description

Literary critics usually use the term “image” to describe a moment when the language of a poem appeals explicitly to our visual sense.Images become “key” images when literature makes them a crucial part of a larger structure of visual experience, designs them to encapsulate a central idea or emotion, lavishes enormous verbal ornament upon them, or causes them to shock us with their beauty, violence, or incongruity.(Greenblatt, et al., 2012, p. 13)
