We think of a foot as a part of the human body, but Neruda says ‘To the Foot From its Child’. Why? |
|
Answer» It is true that we think of a foot as belonging to a person. Even in the poem ‘the foot’ refers to the adult foot. Neruda uses ‘foot’ as a metaphor for life and focuses on the changes seen in the transition of an infant’s foot through adulthood until it dies and gets buried. |
