La Lodge and Entr’acte

I think that the verse entracte describes the painting very well. It brings across the feelings of the two people in it in a very good and sensitive way.Firstly the title of the poem -entracte makes the poem sound elegant and impressive, or even sophisticated. The title delegacy in between acts which describes the painting very well because she is scarcely seated thither and he has his eyes on things completely away from the stage. interlude also sounds a bit equivalent attract so maybe that has something to do with it.At the start of the poem it says the cuff links whispers to the glove, much(prenominal) culture and either for love I think in These draw and quarters the patch speaking and he is saying to himself how elegant he is in his suit, (maybe he is being vain) and he how has done it all for love, maybe the love of the muliebrity sitting in front of him or maybe the women he is showting at with his binoculars.Then in the second stanza the glove confesses to the glass, oh how slowly five acts pass. I think that it is the adult female speaking roughly herself and how slowly five acts pass. perhaps the five acts pass slowly because she is not interest in the action and is bored or maybe it is because she is waiting for the end so she merchant ship get away and do something else.In the first term of the 3rd stanza, the glass is lifted to the eye I think this maybe the poet speaking, doing a caterpillar tread commentary of what is going on. On the second line of the stanza, Show me a tear I cannot dry I think this is the glass speaking about how the woman might be tears inside. She might be crying in the inside because the man is horrible to her or maybe because she except does not want to be there. Its like shes crying inside but is holding herself together so she doesnt put down it.In the first line of the forth stanza The eye shows nothing to the eye I think this means that if you look at someone you cant judge them by what they look like because you cant see what they ar like inside. In the second line such elegance and all for art I think It could be the man talking and saying that she was there displayed in the front of the box just for show. To say to the opposite people there that yes he could have a beautiful woman, or she could be there to make other woman jealous. Maybe the line means something completely different and the poet is saying such elegance- because they are all dressed up in beautiful clothes, and all for art- because In the end the people in the picture were probably there just to pose for the artist to paint them.In the painting it has the woman at the front of the picture- is this just so the man can show her off or is it because he is being a gentleman and let her sit in front so she can see better. He is sitting at the back his could because if he looks up at other woman in the audience she wont be able to see. She is also wearying flowers by her face and breast as if to draw at tention to these features. Her face is fixed, and her eyes especially make her look sad inside as if she is trying to put on a show, to hide her emotions in public. Her lips are bright red maybe for love, anger, passion or lust. Her dress is dim and white stripes like a prisoners clothes, maybe shes trapped by the man idler her from freedom.Overall I think that the man behind her is using her to show of to the woman he is maybe looking at in the audience. He has dressed her and himself up in very dainty and elegant clothes just for the show and to make him look wealthy.I think she is sad and upset that she is trapped as a baffle for him and is bored by the whole performance she not very interested in it and probably wants to be somewhere else.
