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.
The similarities can be evidently understood and recognized within “Zhongzi, Please,” and “The Beginning of the Song that Diverts the Heart”. This is due to the response of the women described in the poems. The similarities include unique cultural beliefs. That effected the way love was understood and acted upon within the writings. Zhongzi, Please Within the poem “Zhongzi, Please”, the teachings of Confucius are evident.
He let in the girl, and when she left She wasn’t a virgin anymore.” (Act lV, Scene V) She is desperate into being loved and wanting his attention that she has gone mad and has told everyone how she isn't a virgin anymore. This shows how Ophelia’s chaste independence on the men in her life; after Polonious death and Hamlet subsequent exile, she finds abruptly without any of them. This makes a connection with the photograph I took of me laying down with flowers looking back at my innocence and how much i would want to go back and make Hamlet love me again, and make my father listen to me. I am Ophelia in the picture. To be brief, Ophelia’s syndrome comes from 3 super egos that she has which her Masculine voice, men telling her what to do, her libido which is her sexual desire for Hamlet and wanted to be loved and cared for.
Olds suggests in this poem that “True Love’’ is all about two people having passion, oneness, and comfort with each other. These three things in a marriage or relationship create true love. Also, she tries to show that without true love, sex is no good. From the beginning of the poem, the speaker talks about the passion between her and her husband. She expresses that their love making is very intense and passionate.
This enables it to have a much greater impact, and helps the poems transition into the consequences of this pain, such as the anger it causes. Another way that the poets expresses pain in Nettles is by juxtaposing the emotion with the action of soothing and comforting, which the parents do to the child when they are hurt, shown in the line ‘we soothed him till his pain was not so raw.’ The use of the ‘oo’ sound in ‘soothed’ elongates the sentence, giving a sense of calm, juxtaposed to the repetition of the plosive ‘b’ sound of ‘blisters beaded’ in the line before. This, again, amplifies the pain that the child
Emma and clueless – - Use of an omniscient narrator to allow reader to reassess their impressions of the characters. - Occasional intrusive comments by the use of irony (mr knightley’) - Over loud, face paced, non diegetic, over bright colours - Music establishes mood and highlights the emotional states of characters - Mr knightley provides correct evaluation of the characters’ behaviours and personal worth - Emma’s lack of perception and the pain she caused Harriet was the first stage of self-awareness relinquishing by Harriet of mr elton’s memorabilia and her confession that she loves mr knightley forced emma to realise she loved him - Emma needs to accept her personal faults and demonstrate social responsibility through her actions,
The most powerful image of the poem comes when she says; “it’s finally having a man reach out for you then caving in around his fingers” (17-20). This demonstrates wanting or needing any kind of love you can get and staying attached to it and despite abuse. In this quote the speaker not only alludes to finding someone but also domestic abuse. The narrators desire to fit in and be socially accepted comes at a price of losing her self image as well as her control. She is not comfortable in her skin and that leads to her dependence on others to fill that void.
Cosi The particular aspect of love that is the focus of the play is fidelity; the notion of faithfulness, commitment and loyalty. The play explores many aspects of love, the characters present slightly different perspectives, some final about their positions from the start and others change or develop differing perspectives. This concept is explored through the individual characters Lucy and Lewis. Using the technique of characterisation, Nowra is able to present the idea of ‘free love’ negatively to the audience through the character Lucy. Who strongly endorses the idea that love is an indulgence, “After bread, shelter, equality, health, procreation, money comes maybe love” .
“Love is not so important these days”… “What planet are you from?” love means something different to each character in the play. Discuss In Nowra’s play “Cosi” meaning of love is explored and challenged by the views of different characters. Each character has a clear definition of their personal and distinct understanding of what love and fidelity means. This assists in the notion of love beholding abundance of paradoxical nature. The characters also endorse the importance of love that is practical and realistic, this aspect of the play is illustrated mostly by the mental patients who have issues with distinguishing reality from their illusions.
She cries out in tears that “[John] loved [her], and whatever sin it is, [he] loved [her] yet!” and she pleads for John to “pity [her]” (Miller 24). Abigail is reluctant to acknowledge that their relationship is over; she desires the physical love and lust because she wants more notice. Whether it be negative or not, she still wants
