The conceit of the Contemporary Poetry Literary Masterpiece Thang Chakra by Siwagarn Patoommasoot

Abstract

          This research focused on the characteristics of the conceit and other figurative language found in Thang Chakra, a contemporary poetry literary which was considered the Siwagarn Patoommasoot’s masterpiece, through the lens of in-text implication, beyond-implication, and the concept of aesthetic literary criticism. The findings revealed two characteristics of the conceit: the concrete conceit and the abstract conceit. In terms of other figurative language, metaphor and simile were found, which are correlated with the content, tone, and the author’s purposes implied in the texts.
