Critical Analysis of the Noiseless Spider Introduction A noiseless Patient Spider is a poem that is summarized in two stanzas. The first stanza is simply about the title of the poem, “A noiseless Patient Spider” while the second stanza looks deep into the soul of the poet and the activities of the spider. It tries to create a connection between different things and compared to the way a spider builds its web. This essay is aimed at providing a critical analysis of what Whitman means when he tries to depict his own soul using the noiseless patient spider. For a number of people, a literal noiseless patient spider is not exactly a good thing, mainly because many people find spiders to be weird creatures with scary eyes and a scary number of legs and especially because they bite and some are poisonous (Diehl, 117-132). It is for this reason that Whitman metaphorically uses a noiseless patient spider to represent an unchained soul, a soul which is lonely and hollow. He leaves the imagination of where would such a soul escape…

It has more than adequate resources to counter unemployment. Research has indicated that most people, especially from some parts of Africa, are seeking employment in the United States.

Irony incorporates the usage of tools such as ridicule, sarcasm, satire, or juxtaposition in context to pass the message. There are three forms of irony: verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatical irony. Most writers and poets use these aspects of irony to make the piece…
