Symbolism, Imagery and PunFaith had somehow vanished, for Mr. Wallace Stevens. Stevens used his talent for language to hone his disbelief in an afterlife and total denunciation of God's gifts in each of us in his work of art "Sunday Morning." Or did he? Art was Stevens' religion. Stevens used three things to express his feeling about the fairy tale about God and everything that had surrounded the notation of his existence. Those three things were symbolism, imagery, and play on words. The combination of these literary devices allowed Stevens to connect intimately with each of his readers, allowing them a glimpse into his mind without revealing too much. The use of numerous puns allowed Stevens to get away with murder. In his poem “Sunday Morning,” Christ himself could do nothing regarding the rather delicate debt of the father god. Webs of religious issues were woven into the poem so gracefully and effortlessly. Stevens used beautiful imagery to compete with the questioning attitude he invoked in his readers. Steven's rather appealing symbolism kept the reader invested in what he believed he had read.2 On Sunday morning, Steven tries to convince his readers of the good life they can live by simply enjoying simple things. Steven also tries to teach readers that not everything has to come from an all-powerful creator they've never seen. Something great can simply be great in itself. Stevens writes: Bathrobe indulgences and late Coffee and oranges on a sunny chair The ...... middle of paper ...... ble5 In these lines, the woman hears these voices. Stevens uses these voices to gently leave his readings: “No, there is no God.” If the woman visited Christ's tomb, she would not be greeted by the spirits because they do not exist. The woman realizes that Christ's tomb is nothing more than a place for the whole dead, nothing special. Stevens uses the last two lines to make his readers understand that they are alone in life and that there is no supernatural authority figure making sure they are good to each other. The last line tells them that they cannot run away from this reality, but rather should accept it. Stevens wants his readers to be good to themselves and that in order to enjoy their lives, they should enjoy this freedom. Stevens used Sunday morning to present his ungodly reality to his readers and because he did so in such a plausible manner, he may have influenced some of his readers.
