How do these final lines from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge affect the overall tone of the poem?

Respuesta :

The final lines bring a poem to a close making a full circle. They present to readers something sacred but also something that inspires dread and not only awe so there's even more than just holiness, some would say demonic. It also even more develops the dreamlike quality of the poem that is rather creative overall.

Answer:

In "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes the creation and destruction of Kubla Khan's palace in the  

exotic location of Xanadu, which gives the poem a  

dreamlike quality. Through the  

historical  character of Kubla Khan, Coleridge uses the wild image of the Mongols to suggest that Kubla Khan is insane, implying that all creative actions are the acts of  mad men.  

The last lines bring the poem to a  

climactic  close. Flashing eyes evoke the image of passionate creativity. By talking about "holy dread," Coleridge suggests that creation is both  

sacred and demonic.
