The Look, is a poem written by Sara Teasdale is a poem, which is about a girl who fell in love, thrice? The voice used in the poem is in the first person. The speaker or persona of the poem is anonymous, that it really required a full attention in order for the poem to be understood.
What was my interpretation of the poem? How did I understand the poem?
The speaker for me, is a she. The poet wanted to convey her feelings or the idea present in the poet’s mind during that time she wrote it.
In the first stanza, it merely suggested or conveyed how the speaker fell in love. When she fell in love with Strephon, she thought that she would be happy and that the person is sincere for her, but then, she made a big mistake. The person just only loved the speaker for a joke and that told me that the love being showed by Strephon is not true, that is the reason why, the girl or the speaker, easily forgot the love that Strephon showed. In this case, I can say that a love when it is not sincere, it would only be lost in the blue.
Another thing in the first stanza, the speaker loved again; maybe she thought that if she would love again, she would be happy. She fell in love with Robin and just like what Strephon did, Robin just played with her, without even thinking that love is not a game.
Maybe it is already an instinct for people to ask for three signs. And the speaker fell in love again. The third guy whom she fell in love with was not like the former guys she loved. The third one by the name of Collins did not go directly to the relationship; instead, he just kept his feelings inside his heart and observed first the personality of the speaker. Our speaker I think has this personality of falling in love so easily. There are really times that girls’ behavior are like this, easily attracted to the opposite sex. I think that the speaker’s perception about the love that Collin is hiding in his heart is the true one. Many would say that the eye is the window of the heart. The sincerity of a person could be seen in his or her eyes. In the case of Collin and the speaker, there is that something in Collin that really attracted our speaker’s attention and emotion. She felt that Collins love is for real. She could not forget the view in Collin’s eyes. The speaker now fell in love again and that the love that she feels right now is something that made her sick.
Love can sometimes make a person to go crazy. So be careful you might fall and make yourself to go crazy.
