Question 7

Form/Structure

Answer 7

Poem maintains ABABAB rhyme scheme, reflecting the enduring nature of the woman’s beauty and how she is a balance of different qualities

Written in Iambic tetrameter and uses lots of enjambment to represent how he is overwhelmed by her beauty and also possibly his overflowing love for her.
The poem is split into three stanzas of equal length. As it progresses, he focusses less on her physical appearance and more on her inner beauty suggesting that Byron believes that inner beauty is most important and best about her.
