could you interpret the deeper meaning of the poem being Hughes trying to warn people away from suicide and suffering the same fate as sylvie plath as throughout the poem, as you said there are many words and phrases creating a sense of sadness. This semantic field however, is juxtaposed by the players not giving up and embracing these harsh conditions, seeing it through to the beauty that comes after. Maybe hughes is trying to say that this is what humans SHOULD do, Sylvie plaths' storm was her mental state and suicidal thoughts and instead of resisting this storm she gave in.

is the alliteration 'depth' and ' depression' and is the consonance to "o" sounds in the first line?
what is assonance and consonance?
Thanks
