'Impartiality' Summary
The poem “Impartiality” by James Russell Lowell warns against the dangers of bias and the importance of impartiality in making decisions. Lowell argues that bias can lead to injustice and that it is important to be able to see both sides of an issue before making a judgment. He illustrates his points with vivid imagery and examples, such as the story of a judge who is unable to render a fair verdict because he is biased against the defendant. Lowell concludes the poem with a call for impartiality, urging readers to be open-minded and to consider all sides of an issue before making a decision.Book Details
