pablo neruda
Pablo Neruda’s poem, “The Enemy”, describes and embodies everything he hates and therefore can find it within himself. ... (1-2) Neruda is his own worst enemy and describes the man as “having the power to only harm himself”(26), which he does by blaming his traits on a non-realistic figure. Neruda stating that his, “old enemy came to visit”(1), he implies that his darker side had come out. ... The “windy explosions”(14-15), discussed that the two faced in the third stanza while talking, justify that Neruda’s two different personalities clash dramatically.
