Two poems are presented below: **Poem A - "Ode to a Nightingale" (John Keats)** "Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!\n...\nAnd haply the Queen‑Moon is on her throne,\nClustered around by all the star‑lit throng." **Poem B - "The Love‑Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (T. S. Eliot)** "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.\n...\nDo I dare to eat a peach?" Which poem employs metaphor more effectively to convey the speaker's sense of alienation, and why? Provide two textual examples to support your choice.

Answer Options

A. Poem B - "The Love‑Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"; the repeated motif of "measured out my life with coffee spoons" serves as a stronger metaphor for alienation than the celestial metaphors in Poem A.
Correct Answer B. Poem A - "Ode to a Nightingale"; the metaphors "immortal Bird" and "Queen‑Moon on her throne" contrast the speaker's mortal isolation with timeless, elevated images, thereby expressing alienation more effectively than the concrete imagery in Poem B.
C. Poem B - "The Love‑Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"; the metaphors "coffee spoons" and "peach" highlight the speaker's alienation more effectively than the abstract imagery in Poem A.
D. Poem A - "Ode to a Nightingale"; the imagery of "immortal Bird" and "Queen‑Moon on her throne" is vivid, but the concrete symbols in Poem B convey alienation more directly.

B
Correct Option:
Poem A - "Ode to a Nightingale"; the metaphors "immortal Bird" and "Queen‑Moon on her throne" contrast the speaker's mortal isolation with timeless, elevated images, thereby expressing alienation more effectively than the concrete imagery in Poem B.
