Delight in Disorder Robert Herrick Question 2
In Robert Herrick's Delight in Disorder, the poem utilizes many oxymora. The first used is "sweet disorder" (Herrick). This goes along with the title that disorder can be good. Next comes "Fine distraction," which again goes along with the title. The last oxymoron is "wild civility" which goes along with the theme of disorder. The oxymora help to progress the poem in it's central meaning. The author finds pleasure in the disorganized. He does not like the perfectly organized people. He prefers disorganization to neatness. The oxymora express the author's opinion on disorder.
