Ethical Deliberations in Poetry Over the Ages

Abstract

Poetry is a potent medium to communicate ideas and feelings alike. Based on selective use of words along with diverse figures of speech, poetry transmits an idea, a principle or a thought in an impressive way. Poetry is a form of creative writing that uses language to evoke emotions, ideas, and experiences in a concentrated and imaginative way. Poetry has been a powerful medium for expressing and exploring complex ideas and emotions. Poetry and ethics are mutually intertwined and related things. Right from ancient Greeks up-to the present day poets, ethical deliberations have always found a prominent place in the poetry of almost all ages. The present paper is an attempt to highlight how poetry has played its essential role in strengthening the bond between poetry and ethics in different periods and in different ages.
