MODEL ESSAY
Write about the theme of discovery as it is reflected in the thematic and technical aspects of the poem The Discovery by J.C. Squire
In the beginning of the poem The Discovery by J.C. Squire, we can see a native American who had known no change and this shows a prediction
that some change is going to occur.
He strayed content along a sunlit beach / Gathering shells. The fact that the native American is gathering shells shows that he inhabits a simple life
which he is happy about. So before Colombus discovered America there was peace, harmony and mostly there was innocence amongst the native
Americans. The Indian thus represents the unspoilt landscape and the simple nature. Till now the rhythm is slow to show the serenity of the place
and the tranquillity of the native man.
This all changes when the Indian hears a sudden strange / Commingled noise and to this noise he gasped for speech, which shows that he was
surprised and thus lost for words. After he heard the Commingled noise in the bay, where nothing was before (he was used to looking out
towards the empty bay), he sees Colombuss ships which are seen from his perspective as huge canoes since that was all he knew. He did not know
they were huge ships, and he saw them moving on the sea, by magic since this was strange to him and completely new.
He also refers to the sails as bellying cloths on poles which is a metaphor, since the sails are being compared to bellying cloths; this is because the
wind makes them look like bellies and he refers to the flags as fluttering coloured signs which is also a metaphor, since the flags are being
compared to colourful signs.
This complete scenario terrorises the native American making his fallen hands forgetting all their shells which is a personification (since hands
cannot forget) showing that he lost his simplicity. He also knelt down behind a stone since now he is ashamed of being naked, which differs from
the way he was feeling before Colombuss doom-burdened caravels / Slant to the shore, and all their seaman land. Colombuss caravels are
described as doom-burdened because although he brought America to complete progress and civilization, he took away from the native
Americans their simplicity and their unhampered life.
From the moment the Indian hears the confusion, the rhythm increase is caused by the increase of punctuation marks. This suggests the chaos
caused by Colombus and his men. It also suggests the fear all over the Indian, and thus the increase in the rhythm is to replicate the increased
heartbeat too. In essence, this poem reflects the destruction of nature brought about by Colombus when he discovered the continent of America.
