They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love. the poet revels the link between the two poems’s through a verity of techniques which is done very effectively but also shows the difference between the obsessive love in “Havisham” and the possessive love of “Valentine”. The pain of love is evident from the beginning in both poems. “Carol Ann Duffy” uses the tone in the first couple of stanzas to show the unorthodox nature of the love. “Not a day since then I haven’t whished him dead”-Havisham This is very effective as the aggressive tone shows “Havisham” has been rejected and her love is causing her pain.
Poetry comparison essay For my poetry comparison I chose the poems Valentine and He Wishes For Cloths of Heaven. The main theme that connects the poems is Love. One of the ways in which the poems are alike is that the poets use objects to express their love. For example, in Valentine "I give you an onion", and in He Wishes for Cloths of Heaven "...embroidered cloths". Both poets are offering their love and try to be truthful about it.
Quickdraw by Carol Ann Duffy and Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning are two different but yet similar poems: they both describe love through a series of metaphors. Quickdraw is about the reality/desperation of love while Sonnet 43 talks of the eternity of love. The speakers of these poems do not have similar relationships or feelings for their loved one. In Quickdraw, she (or he) knows that although her feelings are quite strong, love does not only give joy, sometimes it hurts : the speaker is experiencing love in a “real” way and reveals what happens in some couples even if it may be embroidered. On the contrary, in Sonnet 43 the speaker’s (probably the poet) feelings are very passionate: her affection seems to have no limits.
Furthermore, the personification and contrast of both love and death, ‘lean abhorred monster’, throughout the play, adds to the overall dramatic effect by giving life to abstract nouns, as well as foreshadowing the imminent tragedy. The most predominant form of love in the First Act is Romeo’s love for Rosaline; which is not only unrequited but aesthetic ‘she is rich in beauty’. Romeo’s love for Rosaline is expressed through melodramatic speeches and oxymorons ‘bright smoke’, which alludes to his confusion and inner conflict. Despite Romeo’s declaration of love for Rosaline, it seems that his true purpose is to that ‘hit’ her ‘with Cupid’s arrow’ or ‘ope her lap to saint seducing gold’. The use of ‘hit’, an active verb, implies that he is attempting to force his obsession on her.
People thought that Brown’s irony was sharp, his ideas were exciting, and he was not only and protestor of his time but one of the first times. Brown’s Work protested the classical folklore in the way it was written. “He infused his poetry with genuine characteristic flavor by adopting his medium geniality and optimism” was James Johnson reaction to his
In this poem the author is making a humongous part of history into a fun, easy to read poem. The poem is very structured story because the author uses a rhyme scheme. While reading the magnificent poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade” it is easy to feel the excitement that the author puts in the story. The poem seems to be structured, but in a way it is also free verse. The way the poem is written, there is repetition repeatedly.
is laid upon your hate That heaven finds means to kills yours joys with love” (V, iii, 291-293) “For there never was a story of more woe, then this of Juliet and her Romeo” (V, iii, 309-310) Tragedy- Reinforced by the death of Mercutio as it is seen by Levin as quite an ironic end, as he has been the satirist- “represents the play moving from Romantic comedy to Romantic tragedy.” Comparing Comedy & Tragedy- Tragedy tends to isolate where comedy bring together, to reveal the uniqueness of individuals rather than what they have in common with others. Examples have been shown with the progression of Juliet whom begun in tragic settings as an only child mother “But one, poor one, one poor, and loving child” (IV, v. 46) whilst Romeo friar reflects on then as “two in one” (II.iv.37) yet again when taking the potion “my dismal scene I needs must act alone.” (IV.iii. 19) reflected in the setting of each of them dying
The authors of these two poems incorporated a similar theme in these two examples of lyrical poetry. While Marlowe portrays the Shepherd's fervent love for the Nymph, Raleigh's piece addresses love as well but from a completely different perspective. One might say that Raleigh's character takes the more realistic approach accounting for how time affects everything. Since Raleigh wrote this to mirror Marlowe's poem from the opposite perspective, examples of this relationship abound but one example is when in the fourth stanza of his poem Marlowe writes, "A gown made of the
In this case it is time. As mentioned, love is a main theme within both poems. In ‘Hour’, the concept of traditional love is played with. In ‘The Manhunt’, the theme of war means that love here is also not presented in a straightforward way. ‘Hour’ is written using the sonnet form, which is typically used for love poetry.
He didn’t mean to kill her, but since Lennie does not understand certain things, he also does not know his own strength. In conclusion, Lennie should not be held responsible for killing Curley’s wife. He should not be accountable because Lennie is not all there and had no idea what he was doing. Another reason Lennie should not be blamed is because Curley’s wife forced him to touch him to touch her hair, and if she did not do that and start yelling at him, none of this would have
