Semantics process plays a key-role in learning the literal and contextual meanings of a poem’s figurative-texture (Bredin, 1992; Cuccio, et al., 2014; Depraetere 2019). Improper understanding of semantics mechanism and contextual theories may lead also the common and determined audiences to learn ambiguious message and meaning of a word (Leclercq, 2020; Satta, 2020) that has many possible meanings which create semantic ambiguities and conflicts (Hoffman, et al., 2013). However, a poem audience must know that how does the meaning of a word or phrase work and how can he and she remove confusion to comprehend the literal meanings in the figurative language contexts of a poem. The figuarive-texture of Arnold’s Dover Beach is fabricated within diversed figures of speeches uploaded in the text. The collage text image of figurative texture presents common words and phrases with the byzantine meanings and misinformation of the synonyms and antonyms lexical pragmatic interface to the readers. In support and singnifant solutions for the research gap, this article attempt defined and described creatively to the role of semantics in the figurative-texture of Matthew Arnold’s Dover Beach so that collective and determined audiences can comprehend the poem creatically based on qualitative description research methodology.
