how we can do stylistic analysis of poem?

Question

wach · Answer

Stylistic Analysis usually involves looking at the structure (ie, couplet vs quatrain, etc) of a poem, the diction (word choice .. are there any contrasts/emphasis/etc to make a point), use of metaphor, rhyme, grouping .. Basically all components in a poem. 

Ex: a line of Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18
"But thy eternal summer shall not fade "
- Lack of punctuation at end to emphasize lasting beauty (even the line doesn't end), 'summer' refers to peak of beauty in the metaphorical 'year of life' (Spring is beginning, Winter is death, etc), use of quatrains in this poem .. 

When doing a stylistic analysis, review everything, make notes, look at the nuances of the author's words. 
Hope that helped. :)

Wrong place to post a question, but .. 
There is no credit from what I'm aware of. However, you can take a standardized test w/fee from a company like collegeboard and get some sort of proof that you know about psychology.
