The genre of this poem is to learn how to be who you are without asking.

The form of the poem is a Petrarchan Sonnet a poem of 14 lines.

The language of the poem contribute to it’s meaning because you need to be who you are even if you have difficulties and problems that affect your life.

The poem is organized by 14 lines of pattern of rhyme.

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA, ABBA, CDE, and CDE.

The tone of the poem is Darkness and Light.

The speaker speaks in this tone because he feels that God denies his eye sight.

ex. “When I consider how my light is spent,Ere half my days in this dark world and wideAnd that one talent which is death to hide.”

A blind person that questions God on why he loses his sight.

The person we believe is the speaker is John Milton. He began to lose his sight in 1644, but went completely blind around 1650.

The context of the poem is in a dark world where nothing can be seen.

The theme of the poem is: accepting the love of god unconditionally even though you have a physical disability.

The theme of the poem is: that God will always love you no matter what happens to you in life.

The speaker is talking to God about how losing his sight of seeing has made him stop believing in God somehow.

In the poem the speaker is asking God why his light has been denied and how losing something important had made the speaker lose faith in religion.

Our initial response to Milton’s poem is that he speaks about a strong man, that has lost his vision, is learning how to do things for himself.

This poem would give someone with disabilities or anybody to do what they truly wish in life and nothing should stop them.
