| Popis: | 105 Wisława Szymborska (1923–2012) is one of the later 20th century Polish female writers; she is famous for her poetry, which is remarkable for its linguistic precision and deep meanings. Meanwhile, her poetry possesses a sense of ironic detachment. Although she was not well known in her lifetime, her works became internationally known after being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1996, and critics began to take interest in her study. When examining her poetry, some of the critics analyze her works from the perspective of gender and others, explore from the standpoint of translation. Different from the reading conducted through above-mentioned approaches, this paper seeks to explore the three most dominant themes in Szymborska’s poetry: Nature, Love and Death, and endeavor to disclose their hidden messages. The discussion is composed of five parts. The first chapter is the introduction of the thesis, sketching important events in her life and major characteristics of her poetry. The second chapter examines her poems about nature from an ecological perspective. Particular natural scenes and living creatures in her poetry seems to trigger her loving memories. In the third chapter, the poems dealing with love are discussed. Her suspicion in sustainable love relationship diverts her attention and preserved in the inanimate objects, her natural. In the fourth chapter, the paper discusses her poems about death and other related topics. The final chapter reviews her message conveyed in three themes. It is true that she brings a refocused and renewed sense to those thoughts that are nearly forgotten as well as speaks up against unfairness and speaks out against injustice. |
