//Spellbound *//
- Even though there's no specific reference to a child, many believe that Spellbound is actually about a mother who has to leave her child to die from exposure, and even though it's torture for her to watch she can't do anything about it because she is under a spell. - The spell is described as "a tyrant spell", which emphasizes the strength and harshness of the spell. - The strong imagery of the darkness and the harsh winds in the first stanza allows the reader to have a better understanding of the environment. - In the second stanza, the speaker continues to talk about the environment, such as the "giant trees" that can instill fear into both the speaker and the audience. - The last stanza utilizes repetition as a way to further elaborate on the severity of the environment. - She says "I will not", which is a great change from the "cannot" she utilized many times before. This demonstrates how much of a toll the spell has taken on her.
