The poet created a poem in four parts to symbolize the passage of years in reaction to the phases of an individual's life.
We can reach this answer because:
- The poem "The Bells" shows the different perceptions of the speaker about the sound of church bells.
- In all, we can hear four bells and each bell represents a part of the poem.
- The speaker reacts differently in each bell, as each one represents a different moment in life.
- The first bell represent childhood and the happiness it imposes.
- The second bell represents youth, discovering new things, and structuring adult life. This bell also imposes happiness and comfort.
- The third bell represents old age and this one sounds sad and melancholy, conveying a sense of abandonment.
- The fourth and final bell represents death and also has a strong melancholy and sense of end.
Through this, I can confirm that the author of the poem divides it into four parts to highlight the four phases of life and how they are inevitable and fleeting.
