So for our poetry explication assignment, I decided to do the poem Ulysses by Alfred Tennyson. Its not a very long poem, and its an easy to understand poem, and the whole poem COULD be an allusion to Ulysses S. Grant, instead of Odysseus aka Ulysses. That's how it caught my attention. It doesn't have too many strategies other than symbolism, but luckily, there is a TON of that. A person could actually go into a deep psychological explanation of this poem if one wished, which is actually one of the only really promising options to follow. Good thing i'm going to be a psych major eh?
