Suffrage, Spirituality, And Sadness In Dover Beach
Suffrage, Spirituality, and Sadness in “Dover Beach” In Matthew Arnold’s poem “Dover Beach”, Arnold allows reader’s to enter a whole new world of wisdom. Arnold sets his poem on Dover, a cliff in South England. Arnold uses imagery to help readers perceive a sense of darkness, and horror. He also uses smooth and rhythmic words to set up the scene more effectively. Arnold creates a more powerful poem and conveys his message more efficiently by using themes found in Fahrenheit 451 such as suffrage, spirituality, and sadness.

In fact it only makes them suffer more.
