1.) Roethke's "Elegy for Jane" is an elegy in which a teacher reflects upon a pupil whose name is Jane. The speaker begins remembering Jane connecting her physical attributes and personality traits to a variety of natural imagery and metaphors.

Theodore Roethke's tragic poem “Elegy for Jane” reveals the speaker`s complicated feelings for a student who was killed in an incident with a horse. The poem exemplifies not the love of a father or lover, but instead the love one simple teacher exerts on his precious pupil. Love is an intangible object, but it still affects society more than one can ever imagine. Roethke does an incredible job of making his readers ask themselves what it means to love someone, and how human beings from all over the world fail to realize how the concept of love magnificently influences society.

Every time I am alone, I look out of window; My mind is clogged with the man looking outside the window with one hand in his pocket, a highly confused Vernon and the following quotes which won’t allow me to turn my back on life!
