본문내용
In the poem “I Hear America Singing,” Whitman closely analyzes the lives of different people including women of America using the word “delicious.” At first, this might occur as a sexual term due to today’s over usage of the word. In this poem, Whitman uses the word delicious to describe the woman’s relationship with her child.
The word delicious means highly pleasing to the senses, especially, to taste of smell according to Dictionary.com. ‘Very pleasing’ is the second definition. However, when Whitman wrote the poem “I Hear America Singing,” the order of a definition was backward. These days, the word delicious is often used as a sexual term. For example, some rappers like Lil Wayne puts the word delicious into his song Lollipop to describe the pleasure of sex. It is becoming one of the tritest and overused words in English. By carrying a different definition from 1800s, the word delicious contributed to the altering the pure motive of Walt Whitman. By adding the word delicious to his poem, Whitman made himself look like he was degrading the status of women.
