However, this doesn’t stop her from her consolations that “a little morning rain foretells a pleasant day”.
Her urgent tone and clarification of an already common sense truth lead us to think that perhaps she has been through hard times that have shown her how nightmarish things can get. Addressing us, she compels us to “believe” that, as she says, life “is not a dream”. Immediately, our attention is hers as she starts off in an all-caps word, “LIFE”. She focuses on (mainly) three, intertwining ideas throughout her poem: the first being that the hardships we face are temporary and result in better things, the second revolving around our attitudes in the short lives we live and the third emphasising our mindsets- especially when it comes to hope, or lack thereof. In Life, Charlotte Brontë puts forth man’s never-ending discontent for life’s downs in three wholesome, imagery-packed stanzas.
