The mouse ensnared by the trap is included to show that the speaker truly will never again trust love, always afraid that it is a deception. This displays that it will be hard for the speaker to ever love again because he does not wish to endure the same pain he has previously dealt with. The succeeding metaphoric image is the scorched fly, which is interesting because the fly is the universal symbol of death, which could be seen here as the death of his love life. The fly in this image has already been burnt by the flames of a fire, which suggests that the speaker has been hurt by his love. This fly “will hardly come again to play with fire” (line 10), so the speaker is saying that he will no longer come near her or, as the title points out, “look upon her” in fear of being burnt again.

My Political cartoon “Andrew Jackson???” depicts Andrew Jackson along with vampire teeth and demon horns, on top of his head he has a fake halo, as well as money falling from above his head. In the cartoon he is saying “for the good of the common man” this does not symbolize anything but to help the viewer determine that it is Andrew Jackson. The vampire teeth are meant to represent things not being what they seem, as vampires are portrayed very human like. The demon horns enforce the idea of him being “evil”. The halo on his head symbolizes, again, that things are not what they seem, it also shows that he is a fake.
