How would you describe Daisy’s state of mind during dinner? What does she say and do that helps reveal her inner conflicts?

The use of language and imagery that Edwin Arlington Robinson uses in his poem "Aunt Imogen" helps to create and shape the tone of the poem and add a deeper meaning. One example of imagery would be " That looked across the fields; and Imogen / Gazed out with a girl’s gladness in her eyes, / Happy to know that she was back once more / Where there were those who knew her, and at last / Had gloriously got away again." The language and descriptions that Robinson gives of this particular moment create a sense of wonder and happiness. It shows Aunt Imogen as being joyful and content, enjoying the view from the window and having fun. The language he uses also eludes to a beautiful view, giving the audience a sense of what it must be like to look out of that window. Robinson as uses imagery and language to show some of the more serious aspects of the poem, such as Aunt Imogen's internal struggles. " There was the feminine paradox—that she / Who had so little sunshine for herself / Should have so much for others. How it was / That she could make, and feel for making it, / So much of joy for them, and all along / Be covering, like a scar, and while she smiled" This description shows that Aunt Imogen is more than just a simple woman and that she has struggles of her own. This description changes the way that the audience and readers view the character of Aunt Imogen.
