Symbolism, Imagery and Puns Faith had faded in a way, for Mr. Wallace Stevens. Stevens used his linguistic ability to sharpen his disbelief in life after this and to the total denunciation of the gifts of God in each of us in his artwork “Sunday Morning”. Or did he? Art was Stevens' religion. Stevens used three things to express his premise feeling about the fairy tale about God and everything that had surrounded the notation of his existence. These three things were symbolism, imagery, and wordplay. The combination of these literary devices allowed Stevens to connect intimately with each of his readers by allowing them a glimpse into his mind without giving too much away. The use of many puns allowed Stevens to get away with murder. In his poem "Sunday Morning" there was nothing that Christ himself could do about the rather delicate debt of God the Father. Webs of religious questions were woven within the poem so gracefully and effortlessly. Stevens used beautiful imagery to rival the questioning attitude he evoked in his readers. Steven's rather attractive symbolism allowed the reader to become invested in what he believed he had read.2 Sunday morning Steven tries to convince his readers what a good life they can live by simply enjoying the simple things. Steven also tries to teach readers that not everything has to come from some omnipotent creator they've never seen. Something great can be great in itself. Stevens writes: Compliances of the dressing gown, and late Coffee and oranges on a sunny chair The... middle of paper ...... ble5In these lines the woman hears these voices. Stevens uses these voices to make his readings not exist. If the woman were to visit the tomb of Christ she would not be welcomed by the spirits because they do not exist. The woman comes to the reality that Christ's tomb is nothing more than a place for all the dead, nothing special. Stevens uses the last two lines to make his readers understand that they are alone in life, there is no supernatural authority figure to make sure we are good to each other. The last line tells them that they cannot escape this reality, but should instead embrace it. Stevens wants his readers to be good to themselves and that to enjoy life they should enjoy this freedom. Stevens used Sunday Morning to present his godless reality to his readers and because he did so in such a plausible way he may have influenced some of his readers.
