Under Milk Wood: Extract Ques

Read the extract and look closely at the language used. What impression of Gossamer Beynon do you receive here?

From reading the extract, Gossamer Beynon seems like a very positive character. Dylan Thomas uses many descriptions to do with life and love, in second voices passage. For example ‘high-heels’, high heels are very sexy shoes and Gossamer is supposed to be a sexy character, in my opinion I think she is very aware of the image she is creating. Also it says ‘sun hums down through the cotton flowers of her dress and into the bell of her heart’ the sun is a very positive image as it is the source of all life and it is flowing straight into her heart. This gives me the impression that her heart is full of passionate and positive thoughts. The flowers are also a reference to nature. ‘Bell in her heart’ the bell gives of a ring, and it is a type of music and music is a positive image, in small proportions. ‘Steaming Gossamer’ gives me an image of her
