Abstract: An image is a linguistic device that presents by comparison or analogy with some other object a picture of an impression, emotion, or idea which comes to the poet. The image may be a word or group of words, and it may be a simile, a metaphor, or a word having various levels of interpretation. The image is used to transmit more vividly to the reader the idea of the poet. Because emotions and associations are aroused within the mind of the reader by the image, there is greater sensitivity to the idea of the poet.
