Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of poetry found in the poem?


organized into stanzas


a speaker


tone


figurative language
the crucible

Answer 1

Do you mean Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible or a poem titled “The Crucible”?

- If you mean the play: it is not organized into stanzas, but it does have speakers (the characters), a discernible tone, and uses figurative language.
- If you mean a poem: all four (organized into stanzas, a speaker, tone, figurative language) can be characteristics of poetry.
