Abstract
This study aims to analyze the language used by MR Gohar in his poetry collection “Metaphors,” including identifying linguistic features, stylistic devices, and rhetorical techniques. Additionally, the study categorizes the major themes present in the poems, uncovering the underlying messages, ideas, and emotions conveyed by the poet throughout the collection. A systematic sampling method was employed to select five poems from the book “Metaphors,” and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was utilized as a framework. The application of CDA using this model reveals intriguing findings in the analyzed poems, encompassing the use of metaphor, sensory language, negativity, appeals, exploration, symbolism, comparison, creativity, and personal expression. The identified major themes include loss, negative influences, escapism through sleep, the symbolism of red representing destiny and vulnerability, the creativity associated with autumn, and the themes of longing and memories. The research provides valuable insights into the poet’s contemplation of these themes throughout the analyzed poems, and suggests further exploration of metaphorical expressions to effectively convey complex ideas and emotions.
