What is literature?

Practical criticism.
 Page 14 CC

You fit into me
You fit into me
like a hook into an eye
A fish hook
An open eye.

Questions to the text:
Hook and eye button
1. The relationship between the title and the text is that the title refers to the poem that the "you" fit into "me" like a hook in the eye.
2. Hook and eye, I know hook is something used to fish and en eye is what we have and use to see, but a hook into an eye is a kind of button used in clothes.
3. First, hook and eye refers to the button I mentioned before, but then it makes reference to a fishing hook and an open eye.
4. As I said before, hook and eye is a type of buttons used in clothing, but in the poem says after that there is a fish hook, and an eye. Yes they do because the have a double meaning.
5. It is mainly an Ironic poem, because it makes us to understand that first is a hook and an eye, but then it is a fish hook separed from an open eye.

A hook
6. There are no any structure in the poem. No rhyme no similar amount of  syllables
7. At first, love. But then I thought that could be anger or fury.
8. From someone who as been left by other one.
9. I think the main ambiguity is "the hook into the eye", at first, the clothing button, but then a hook into an eye.
10. To refer to her change on his emotional life, from being in love to being alone.
11. All these elements makes us to understand the real message of the literary speaker ( I remember it was called persona), there is an ambiguity that  makes us to see the change in her life.
