Let me count the ways.” (Line 1 Sonnet 43) The use of first person, authenticates that both poems are written for a personal response, this however cannot be seen in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ apart from when the characters speak. The use of alliteration in ‘Sonnet 43’, confirms that the poem was written for Browning’s lover. The repetition of “I love thee...” Shows it’s a personal poem for her true love. However, ‘Valentine’ could be interpreted as an open poem to allow the readers to understand the experiences Duffy has faced. The use of “...we are, for as long as we are.” (Line 16 and 17) Shows that Duffy is inviting her readers into the poem to help reflect upon how she feels.
Poetry Compare and Contrast Love and Madness True love is the theme in the poem “Porphyria’s Lover,” by Robert Browning, and “Annabel Lee,” written by Edger Allen Poe. They were written in the same time period both having romantic notions, and share the same dramatic monologue style. Both are similar poems in their deranged views of love. However, the manner in which their beautiful lovers die and how they felt after their death, differ greatly. The men in both poems truly loved their women in the beginning, but by the end they had become obsessive, drove themselves to insanity, and slept next to the dead bodies of their lovers.
How are feelings towards another person presented in any two of the poems studied so far? Relationships come in various different forms; there are romantic relationships, family relationships, relationships that flourish and grow and relationships that wither and die. In relationship related poetry we identify precisely what type of relationship the poet is describing by examining the poet’s use of language, imagery, structure and attitude. In this essay I will be comparing how two different poems present feelings towards another person. The poems I will be discussing are “Brothers” by Andrew Forster and “Sister Maude” by Christina Georgina Rossetti.

This poem to me was breath taking and a great attribute to young love. In reading about Betjamen it seems he had a short love affair with Miss Joan Hunter Dunn during the war and thus the poetry began. Her parents were not pleased with the fact that Betjamne Miss Joan Hunter Dunn is the grandmother of one of my closest friends.
The story tells of a woman whose father kept her from love and how, as a result, after his death she struggled for love with both her community and with her lover. Throughout the story, Faulkner demonstrates three different love relationships which are all rather unique. However, they are all related and as a result form an endless ring of love. The circle of love depicted in this short story is composed of three different love relationships which all vary significantly in motivation, type and degree. Nevertheless, they all build upon and result in each other.
One of the first problems that will cause a couple to fall out of love quickly is unemployment. Once there is no money coming into a house, love will diminish. It has been my observation that love does not conquer the fact that people are unable to pay their bills and enjoy the pleasures of life. I have witnessed firsthand the problems that occur with the lack of finances. My aunt married her high school sweetheart, and has said several times that he is the only man that she has ever loved.
(Poetry Dispatch)To me biggest similarity between Sexton & Plath was both writers seemed obsessed with death not only in their poetry but also in their personal lives. Although both women were Pulitzer Prize winners, their battle with depression and breakdowns ultimately lead both women to committee suicide. Plath's "Ariel" and Sexton's "The Starry Night" both celebrate suicide (Sylvia Plath forum/Poetry Foundation). After Plath's death, Sexton started to incorporate Plath's themes and Nazi imagery into her own work. Despite communicating only sporadically between 1959 and Plath's suicide, both women were definitively influenced by their brief friendship, showing in their respective works.
“Daniel Hoffman observes that ‘the theme [of The Bridal Ballad] was one Poe had early tried to use in poetry [when Poe was starting to become a writer], producing only the bathetic Bridal Ballad.’ (Hoffman). Sova mentions that “Poe experienced greater success in developing the theme in what critics have termed the "Marriage Group" of stories, which include Eleonora, Ligeia, and Morella” (Sova). Although this may have been so, The Bridal Ballad can still be analyzed as a building block that would lead to better written stories and poems based on the Romanticist and Dark Romanticist principles. What readers find in The Bridal Ballad by Edgar Allan Poe is a story told in a bride’s point of view. What the bride tells readers about is the fact that she cannot fully accept her newlywed husband.
Instead he uses a unique structure and pedestrian imagery to try to explain what he’s feeling. Although he should tell her everything he’s thinking about; when he’s at a reunion he thinks to himself of the possible outcomes of his confession; stopping him from doing it and making him wander off with his thoughts before making a move. Presuming that the speaker of the poem is the author himself, the reader might think that his feelings of isolation root from his childhood. To portray this, he uses abundant imagery, to help the reader view elements, the same way he does. Eliot, as writer was influenced by thinkers such as John Donne and F.H.
