This demonstrates determination, purpose, and energy. The poem, in the very last two lines, settles into regular and powerful iambic rhythm, perchance symbolizing the oars’ rhythm. He is fearing the sea, and therefore is fearing life and death. In its place, Ulysses admits that he is aging “you and I are old”. This one is connected to the sea picture, as he doesn’t want to allow his age confine or restrict him from pursuing his dreams ((Tennyson’s, p.31). Ulysses articulates “Tis not too late to seek a newer world” (57). Tennyson employs rhythmic prominence such as ‘there gloom the dark, broad seas’, and also long vowel sounds like “the deep” and “moans round”. The picture of the sea symbolizes liberty and the future, and also the unbounded prospects of life as well as death. Ulysses wishes to live his life to the fullest, and as well, he does inspire the audience to do so. Although he’s younger and strong no more, Ulysses upholds that “ld age hath yet his honor and his toil” (50). Post-reading that, the reader of the poem can only feel the signaling tow of the anonymous, the “hungry heart” and “yearning desire”Įven in his life’s twilight, Ulysses is capable of achieving great things by sustaining that (Warner, p.3). Tennyson doesn’t mention a lot about Ulysses’ hardship, but he does make reference towards them in only two line (8-9) and appears more like glory and less like pain. Post the experience of such surprise, Ulysses can’t be contented to calm and repose, for “all experience is an arch wherethrough / Gleams that untravelled world” (19-20). He “drnk delight” and exposed his eminence. Ulysses, on his journey, is “honored” by countless persons in foreign areas. Ulysses’ desire to travel is emphasized on by persistent use of movement verbs such as “roaming” which paints an image of travel with awesome majesty (Warner, p.2). He uses enjambment to represent the notion of heading on “beyond the utmost bound of human thought” (32). He makes this memorable character of Ulysses through his heroic desire to explore life into new worlds, and fight life until its end.

On the one point of view, Tennyson presents Ulysses as a grand and noble man who recalls the heroic events of his past to justify his refusal to submit quietly to inertia, old age, and death.
