Answer :
Final answer:
The poem 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' by William Carlos Williams and the painting by Brueghel both feature the subtle depiction of the boy drowning (Icarus) as an insignificant event in the larger scene, without a significant splash, repetition or foreshadowing being the main elements.
Explanation:
The poem 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' by William Carlos Williams includes elements that are also found in the painting by Brueghel. In both the painting and the poem, we find the boy drowning (Icarus), but this tragic event is depicted in a way that makes it seem insignificant within the broader scape of life and work continuing despite the fall. The poem does not directly mention a giant splash, nor does it use repetition or foreshadowing as key literary devices. Instead, both the poem and the painting emphasize the indifference of the world to individual suffering, where Icarus's legs can be seen in the water in the painting and the poem reflects on the unnoticed tragedy within the landscape. Brueghel's art and Williams's poetry both depict the inconspicuous position of Icarus's downfall in contrast to the ongoing life of the ploughman and the serene environment.
