Comment on the theme of Wallace Steven’s poem ‘The Emperor of Ice-cream’

"The Emperor of Ice-Cream" by Wallace Stevens is a complex and enigmatic poem that explores themes of life, death, and the fleeting nature of existence. The poem presents a vivid and unconventional portrayal of a funeral scene, challenging traditional notions of mourning and the human experience. The central theme of the poem revolves around the juxtaposition of life's transience and the celebration of the ordinary.

One of the main themes in "The Emperor of Ice-Cream" is the contrast between life and death. The poem opens with the command to "Call the roller of big cigars" and "Let the wenches dawdle in such dress" which suggests a tone of celebration and vitality. The use of colloquial and seemingly trivial language creates an ironic contrast to the funeral setting. This juxtaposition serves to emphasize the brevity and unpredictability of life and challenges traditional notions of mourning and solemnity. Stevens suggests that life is inherently fleeting and that death is an inevitable part of the human experience.
