Abstract:
This paper aims to analyze Edgar Allan Poe's poem entitled "A Dream within a Dream" using the four levels of stylistics analysis: phonological, morphological, graphological & lexical-syntactical. This study helps in understanding the meaning of the poem and the style of the author used in this piece. Through the use of different figures of speech, the poet creatively explains the part where it explores the significance of life and how this turned upside down. Thus, "A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM" is a poem that shows the poet's insights about life and death and its cyclical relationship, the feelings of loss and grief, and the reconciliation.
