Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in literature classrooms marks a significant pedagogical shift, especially when teaching complex poetic texts like Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Tithonus. This research article explores how AI tools can support the stylistic analysis of Tithonus, enriching learners’ understanding of its thematic depth, linguistic choices, and poetic structure. Through a stylistic perspective focusing on phonology, lexis, syntax, and figures of speech, the study demonstrates how AI can augment textual interpretation, promote student engagement, and facilitate differentiated instruction. Sample AI-generated poetic lines also illustrate the teaching potential of style-focused prompts.
