death
lines 5,6 - periphrasis, rather merely going away
- “silent land” - metaphor, reader focus on death rather than journey
- “nor i half turn to go yet turning stay” - paradox of departure and lingering presence

Question 2

change of heart in volta
“better by far you should forget and smile”
“vestige”

love
change of heart in volta - symbolises love, would rather sacrifice memory than suffer pain
“better by far you should forget and smile” - desire for beloved’s happiness
“vestige” - hold on to thoughts of love

Question 3

octave/sestet
-“no more hold me”
-“darkness and corruption”
