Read the poem and answer the questions.


WE WEAR THE MASK

by Paul Laurence Dunbar


We wear the mask that grins and lies,


It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—


This debt we pay to human guile;


With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,


And mouth with myriad subtleties.


Why should the world be over-wise,


In counting all our tears and sighs?


Nay, let them only see us, while


We wear the mask.


We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries


To thee from tortured souls arise.


We sing, but oh the clay is vile


Beneath our feet, and long the mile;


But let the world dream otherwise,


We wear the mask!


The mask that the author describes is the best example of what literary device?

Imagery

Symbolism

Alliteration

Metaphor
