Abstract

Depending on the needs and context, people can communicate using literal or figurative language. Poem is one of the literary arts that must be well understood. In poems, messages are conveyed both directly and indirectly through the use of figurative language. The study of figurative language in poems is fascinating. The aim of this study is to discover poems that have the same types of paradoxes and allegories as Atticus' poetry "The Dark between Stars," as well as the meaning of each figurative language. To examine poetry, this study used a content analysis. The poem "The Dark between Stars" by Atticus, which has 244 pages and three chapters, is used to analyze the study material. There are 54 poems in "Stars" Chapter, 52 poems in "Between" Chapter, and 55 poems in "The Dark" Chapter. The book has a total of 302 poems. The analysis found that the types of allegory and the types of paradox contained in Atticus' poem in “Between” and "The Dark" chapters of "The Dark between Stars" are two veridical paradoxes and two allegories of ideas. The findings of the study can be useful to improve the literature study in English teaching.
