What is your interpretation of the last line?
What will be an ideal response?
- After the techniques previously employed in the poem—lines of increasing length and rhythmic freedom, and one set of widely spaced rimes in each “stanza” (Camaro / arrow, cliché / decay, beware / hair)— the rhetorical elegance of the next-to-last line (which is a perfect iambic pentameter), the brief last line and the quick rime combine to create a sudden shift in sound and movement giving the poem a sharp and decisive ending. This tonal shift reinforces the content of the last line, which also signals a shift, one that makes us re-evaluate all that has come before. The title (as well as the text) is ironic in applying a quiz like those in trashy contemporary magazines to an austere classical myth, and also ironic in using the term “First Love,” with its connotations of innocence and adolescence, in connection with such disturbing details. But the title and the text also seem quite serious in delineating the wide range of emotions, urges, impulses, and experiences that go into the making of a relationship. Indeed, “all of the above” appears to be the correct answer, and also suggests that the tawdry present and “glamorous” antiquity are not contrasted with one another; instead, they are one and the same.
