She fell in love with Romeo who was eighteen and a Montague, her family’s enemy. She was yet to understand the meaning of love but seeing Romeo; she instantly fell in love with him but she must have been confused and thrilled at the same time. Even though they loved each other they still had to face many challenges. That including keeping their relationship a secret from her family. Their love was destined to be an unhappy one which caused her to separate from her family when she refused
London: Methuen & Co., 1921. | Oscar Wilde’s poem “Requiescat” is an elegy, written about the death of his young sister. It is a simple but beautiful poem in which Wild’s theme of death and sadness is conveyed to the reader through a number of effective techniques- tone, rhythm, imagery and rhyme. To fully understand the poem it is useful to know something of its background. When Oscar Wilde was 12, and his younger sister Isola was nearly 10, she suddenly became ill with a fever and died.
After the news of those deaths reached Creon’s wife, she became so upset that she killed herself also. These three deaths all came to Creon because of his ignorant actions. If Creon had wisdom inside, he would of compromised with Antigone, causing not one of these deaths to take place. Creon would have much happiness in his life if he had wisdom. Now that his whole family died, Creon feels guilty for their deaths and will never achieve true happiness again.
For her prose work she used the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. The poet Richard Wilbur addressed her to write some best sonnets of that century. “Love Is Not All” starts with the description of things that love fails to do including its failure to heal. Millay said that many people die because of lack of love. She said that she would continue trading love in the autumn of life (moments of suffering) to keep the individual alive peacefully.
Similar to most of the poems in Birthday Letters, it is in free verse. A stream of consciousness, conveying the spill of emotions or arguably, the confusion entangled within Hughes’ relationship with Plath. Hughes begins to blame himself for the downfall of Plath in describing that she could have been saved by ‘the right witchdoctor’, implying that the right person could have been a form of medicine for her. The asyndeton slows the poem down, putting Hughes in a positive light in that he wants to hold on to his wife for as long as possible before the inevitable ending takes her from him. He highlights that the inevitability of the situation could not be changed, yet the verb ‘save’ expresses Hughes’ feelings of guilt.
Of a despised life closed in my breast. By some vile forfeit of untimely death.” (Act 1, Scene 4, 107) In this scene Romeo had a gut feeling that going to this party would cause his “untimely death.” But, because of his stubbornness he had ignored it, and still went to the Capulet (His enemies’) party where he met Juliet. If he had not attended the party, he wouldn’t have met Juliet and he potentially wouldn’t have died. Later in the play, Balthasar (a servant of Romeo) reveals to Romeo that Juliet is dead. “Hast thou no letters to me from the friar?” (Act 5, 1, 51) Romeo was specifically told to wait for Friar Laurence’s letter, but stubborn Romeo, neglects this advice and decides to head to Mantua anyway.
Because of him, Echo was ashamed of her action, and she ran away to live in the mountain longing for a love that never be returned. The pain killed her. If Narcissus knew what love was, He would understand how Echo felt. He could have acted differently to Echo, and maybe she would have not died. Last but not least, Narcissus’ love is self admire because he fell in love with his own reflection in the fond.
Appearing to be very angry that a woman dared to defy his wishes, Creon boldly declares that “When I am alive no woman shall rule.” The issue of Antigone being condemned to die becomes more than just a person who disobeys Creon; instead, the punishment is given even more eagerly because it is a woman who disobeys a man. Creon does not respect Antigone because she is a woman. Haimon, Creon’s last son hated his father for killing his future bride. After failing to convince his father to forgive Antigone, Haimon visited the cell where she was poisoned. Since Haimon could not stand dealing with his lover’s death he “drew his sword” and killed himself.
Anne Sexton is the poet I chose to write about. She was born in Newton, Massachusetts in 1928, she committed suicide after several mental breakdowns at the age of forty-six. She held many different jobs, she was a librarian, fashion model, and taught English at Colleges and Universities. Anne Sexton was a very good poet and she has very interesting work. The title of the poem “Said the Poem to the Analyst” is kind of a boring title to start with, but after you read through the poem you can see that it actually adds a lot.
She seems to have fallen in love with Othello purely for the fact he has had a lot of adventures. Desdemona could be thought of as very naive, as she stays clueless to Othello’s feelings up until she dies, when she still doesn’t have much idea of why he’s killing her. Desdemona defended Othello right up until her death, as she was still in love with him. She called him ‘my kind lord’ right before she died despite the fact that he murdered her, perhaps showing her naivety and oblivion to his flaws. However, both Desdemona and Othello failed to think for themselves regarding love.
