Unveiling Resilience: A Comprehensive Stylistic Analysis of William Ernest Henley’s ‘Invictus’
Philippines
Abstract
This study aims to provide a comprehensive stylistic analysis of the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley, focusing on phonological, graphological, morphological, and lexical-syntactic elements. Through a detailed examination of these features, the analysis reveals how they contribute to the poem’s theme of resilience in the face of adversity, enhancing its emotional impact and thematic depth. The methods used include a systematic breakdown of linguistic features at each level. Key findings indicate that the stylistic elements work cohesively to underscore the poem’s message of unyielding strength, offering valuable insights for pedagogical applications in literary studies.
