Answer:
1. Each stanza has four lines.
2. The lines do not rhyme.
3. End punctuation is not used on the first line, but on the next line.
4. This promotes the interruption effect, which indicates that Icarus' freedom and life is interrupted.
Explanation:
"The Flight of Icarus" is a poem that shows how, dreaming of getting rid of his prison, Icarus builds a pair of wings and flees flying. When he gets the freedom he so desires, he decides to fly very high. This causes his wings, which are made of wax to melt in the heat of the sun, which causes Icarus to fall and drown.
Between lines 1-8, we can see two stanzas each containing four lines. The stanzas are the set of lines or verses in a poem, they work like the paragraph of a text. In each stanza, we can see that the first and third lines do not have an end punctuation, only the second and fourth lines have an end punctuation, which means that the first lines have their thoughts cut in half, interrupted, equal to life and the freedom of Icarus.
In addition, we can see that there is no rhyme between the lines, since the rhymes occur when the lines are finished with the same sound, creating a melody and rhythm in the poem.
