Have a little read: ... amina* English- per. 3 September 14th, 2003 "Advertisement" - Wislawa Szymborska Commentary In the poem Advertisement, by Wislawa Szymborska, the author cleverly employs a variety of literary techniques to help accentuate the irony, enticement, and harm of prescription drugs. The literary techniques which are used to exemplify this are personification, tone, and the structure of the poem itself. In this figure rich poem, it is ironic that Szymborska seems to be encouraging the use of drugs to ease pain at the beginning of the poem, all the way through to the last three lines. Although the shortest part of the poem, the last lines seem to be the most powerful, by explaining the harm and addiction with drugs. They are also the most influential because they convince the reader that Szymborska is trying to tell readers that in reality drugs do ease pain temporarily, but eventually they are addictive, harmful, and not worth it.
