Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! ENGLISH!!!! describe how the poem uses imagery about freedom, the lack of it, or the desire for it. The poem would be "The Weary Blues"

Answer 1

I think that Hughes employs a variety of images in the poem to show the complex nature of freedom. The piano player, in his own right, is shown to have freedom. Yet, this freedom is not entirely liberating, not entirely clear in terms of its absolute nature of redemption. Instead, "the weary blues" is the freedom of the piano player. Hughes constructs freedom as something where results are uncertain. The piano player has the ability or the freedom to play his music, "the weary blues."
