In addition, she portrays similar tones such as desperation and mournfulness. In fact, in lines 30 to 24 her tone is at it’s most somber state as she expresses her guilt for being a bad mother to her “child” and believes she has not sent this child away prepared for the world’s cruel criticism. Furthermore, the diction is a device that coincides with the tone of the poem. Her choice of words all share a very strong connotation. As previously mentioned she uses the words ill formed and feeble to describe her unfinished writing’s fragility.
#BestQueenEver Queen Elizabeth I became queen at the age of 25 and she ruled until her death in 1603. Queen Elizabeth I was a spectacular queen, including the circumstances surrounding her crowning, her defeat of the Spanish Armada, and her relation to the play Julius Caesar. She was the last of the five Tudor Monarchs, and her rule was longer and more prosperous than any of the kings in her time as stated in the “Elizabeth I” article. Queen Elizabeth I had a very rough childhood, but when she was finally succeeded in 1558 she was the greatest queen that had ever ruled. Queen Elizabeth I was the second child of King Henry VIII and her mother was Anne Boley, but at the age of three, her father nullified the marriage (Ellis).
A few years later, Stanton and her new husband attended their first convention, The World’s Anti-Slavery Convention, in London. Stanton was believed to have made a great impact and was the driving force behind the convention in 1848. At the first convention they attended, they experienced the elimination of women’s rights first hand. According to research, “Stanton and Lucretia Mott were angered at the exclusion of women and vowed to call a woman’s rights convention” (National Women’s History Museum 1). In 1848,
A Lesson in Mastering Loss Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “One Art” is about loss. In it she mentions many of the small losses in life that we may experience but she is clearly talking about losing a love. Who she is speaking to in this poem is unclear but there is evidence to show that she and she alone is her own audience for this poem. She expresses denial, anger, blame, regret, humor and in the end she exclaims “Write it!”, which looks to be directed from the speaker to herself, either way it can be construed as acceptance. In the poem she goes through increasingly bigger losses that she quickly dismisses in a sarcastic manner until she reaches the loss of her lover.
The Empress Matilda Matilda was one of two legitimate children of King Henry I of England. This fact would end up putting her into multiple important roles as is shown in the book The Empress Matilda: Queen Consort, Queen Mother, and Lady of the English. Marjorie Chibnall, author of the book, takes a look at the life of Matilda and the roles she plays. The author’s thesis is to show that it is Matilda’s actions that made her important, not just her relations, although they were important as well. This can be seen in the way the book is split into chapters.
She knew this about herself and was highly criticized for it. This means that she failed to be objective in several instances.A few good poems to use to capture her struggle with relationships might be these: "Mirror","By Candlelight" ,"Mary's Song". "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath is by right considered a magnificent poem about daughter's relationship with a father. Also it can also be read as an allegory of female yielding and final revolt in a men's world who have been responsible for all the disasters and wars
Her use of words in ‘Elm’ is also interesting. “Faults” could be emotional and/or physical and this shows the psychological states explored throughout Sylvia Plath’s work. “Malignity” symbolises evil and the intensity of how disturbed her life was.Another poem by Plath that I found to be personal on an intense and disturbing way was ‘Mirror’. It is clear as Plath looks into the mirror that she is unhappy, watching her age. A mirror never lies, but Plath cannot find solace in what she sees.
Elizabeth I was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. She was the second youngest out of her half-siblings, Edward VI and Mary I. As a child and a young lady, she was kept secluded, thus causing her to often keep thoughts and feelings in. However, at the age of twenty-five, she rose to claim the throne of England. Queen Elizabeth encountered lots of controversy during her rule as a woman.
Her novel `The Awakening' (1899) shocked many people with its portrayal of a young woman's sexual and artistic longings.

Immediately Duffy portrays to us the suffering Mrs Lazarus is going through; “I had wept for night and a day,” from this we also see Duffy is speaking on behalf of Mrs Lazarus, with her voice and narrative, showing she is giving Mrs Lazarus a voice. The whole poem is based upon the pain, hurt, and loss, love, mourning of Mrs Lazarus and how she finally moved on but then was ripped away from her through his resurrection. “Howled, shrieked, clawed,” this shows that Mrs Lazarus was physically out of control; Duffy gives her animal like expression, suggesting her behaviour was un-human like. Furthermore the word “shrieked” is a violent verb suggesting self harm. Duffy, as Mrs Lazarus, later explains the grief has led her to throwing up; “retched,” this shows that Mrs Lazarus has led herself to tormenting herself, as she is self harming and throwing up.
