Question

Medal + Fan! I need help with poetry!!

Analyze Boris Pasternak’s mixed emotions about his current state of affairs in “The Nobel Prize.” What conclusions can you draw about how living under censorship affected him? Explain your conclusions and support them with at least two details from the poem.

Answer 1

The poem:
I've fallen beast-like in a snare:
Light, people, freedom, somewhere bide:
But at my back I hear the chase
And there is no escape outside.

Darkest wood and lakeside shore,
Gaunt trunk of a leveled tree,
My way is cut off on all sides:
Let what may, come; all's one to me.

Is there some ill I have committed?
Am I a murder, miscreant?
For I have made the whole world weep
Over the beauty of my land

But even at the very grave
I trust the time shall come to be
When over malice, over wrong,
The good will win its victory.
