The tone of the title is set apart from the rest of the poem. Unlike the poem which is narrated from a first person point of view, the title provides a third person perspective into the events. This helps readers understand that although the poem is addressed to her book, the poet is actually addressing her readers. The more detached tone in this case and the generalisation of “The Author” adds a universal element to the events described in the poem and Bradstreet shows the readers that the experiences in her poem are applicable to any author. These experiences include the strong attachment between author and book which is also hinted at the beginning with the possessive pronoun ‘Her’.

Emotional and logical appeals give the audience insight on what it is like to be a woman in this specific society and illustrate that these characteristics that make up a women are learned not something girls are born with.

I am going to argue that Mew uses imagery to show both the farmer’s attitude toward his wife and as a social commentary on the subordination of married women during the period Mew is writing. However I will contrast this argument to argue that Mew is able to simultaneously convey to the reader sympathy for both the farmer and the farmer’s wife through effective use of descriptive language and imagery. In my analysis of ‘The Quiet House’ I will identify similarities between both poems noting again Mew’s characteristic style of playing with form, structure and language.

Emily Dickenson is notorious for her exceedingly extraordinary style of poetry.

It is the natural progression from structuralism, where the writer takes a piece out of all historical, social, and political contexts in order to further examine the true meaning of a piece. Deconstruction is the paring down of the written word to its simplest form, consisting of just lines on the page and leaving the meaning open to the reader’s interpretation. This ideology of writing is an attempt to establish a secure or ultimate meaning of a text.
With the author’s specific use of diction, structure, parallelism, irony, and symbolism, the poem emerges into a metaphorical tale about the coldness and negligence, rather than sympathy and consolation, many people display during a great misfortune.
