Detailed explanation-1: -My Captain! by Walt Whitman is a tone of lamentation. The speaker is lamenting the fact that the captain has died. The lamenting tone can be seen in the diction “heart” and “dream.” The speaker is giving a heartfelt expression of grief that the captain has died.
Detailed explanation-2: -What point is Whitman trying to emphasize by presenting this contrast? Whitman does think the country will heal because he knows that we are a strong country. He writes, “the ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; from fearful trip, the victory ship, comes in with object won".
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The speaker is filled with grief because the Captain of the ship is dead.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Oh Captain!” became one of Whitman’s most well-known poems and was included in many anthologies, but in many ways it is atypical of Whitman’s poetic style, which was typified by his use of free verse and long lines that spill into two lines on the printed or handwritten page.
