"I'm so frightfully unhappy" analysis
The Modernismo movement is primarily known for the fact in each of its poems symbols of nobility and aristocracy tend to appear. In the poem "I'm So Frightfully Unhappy" by Jose Marti these symbols are included through the words about a knight and the sword of Damascus. Marti includes these symbols because he's telling a story about how a man is dying, but he hasn't met his one and only dream mate yet. So, instead of complaining he actually does try to find this one and only woman that he wants, but instead he finds impersonators of his perfect girl in disguises such as colored lips and pink socks. Due to this, he never finds her and ends up forever alone. Questions could spark why does him being forever alone have to be the end of the story? Well, simply because Marti wants to inform his readers that if you were to just only try to find your number one dream mate, you will die alone and be frightfully unhappy with your life. Then, if that was so, no one would get what every human truly wants, someone to love.
