Adorno’s essay on lyric poetry reveals interesting facts about the origin or the central kind of modern poetry. There is this relationship between a man or a poet being sensitive to the Muse and being able to talk about lyric poetry and society. Insensitivity to the lyric poetry might result in treating lyric works as objects to demonstrate sociological theses (Adorno 343). Adorno’s essay made me realize that it is important for the lyric poetry work itself to reflect the dimensions within it, in relation to the society around it.

The idea of the social interpretation of lyric poetry was another important point in the article. It makes sense that this social interpretation of lyric works should focus on discovering how the society itself is represented in the lyric work. I believe such works should be in direct relationship to the society surrounding it, and should reflect and represent its nature and values.

The language in the lyric poetry is a significant element in the lyric poetry. I agree with the idea that language should be the voice of the lyric work, and not far from it. I think language gives an identity to the lyric work and reflects the situations surrounding it.
