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.
‘To His Coy Mistress’ is a comedic depiction of unrequited love, showing how love can be represented in a light-hearted way whilst communicating the deeper significance of what it means to feel this way about someone. Likewise, ‘Sonnet 43’ presents us with a serious topic, portrayed in a carefree way. ‘To His Coy Mistress’ is set into three stanzas of unequal length, each showing a new stage in the relationship. The beginnings of each stanza are a giveaway as to what we should expect from it. ‘Had we’ tells us that the persona is fantasising about what could happen, and that the images created here have in fact not happened yet.

Anne Bradstreet’s “TO MY DEAR AND LOVING HUSBAND” is a poem of a wife’s intense love, marital commitment, and devotion to her husband. It reveals the life of a puritan woman who is suppose to be more reserve, but broke all barriers to make it her obligation to enlighten her husband of her devotion. This poem offer insights into her love, marriage and God, the use of metaphors and similes, and the gender claim of equality between a husband and wife. Her commitment to love, marriage and God throughout the poem begins as she uses the anaphora “IF EVER….” (l. 1-3) to confirm her marital union (man-wife) and her spiritual union (two-one). Is it for consistency that she made such a declaration, or is it for the emphasis?
The use of repetition is used by the poet, Wordsworth, to better emphasize the act of returning to this place; “Five years have passed; five summers, with the length/ Of five long winters! and again I hear / These waters…” (1-3) “The speaker also uses the phrase “once again” two times, both times in the middle of a line breaking the flow of the text. It is in this way that the reader is introduced formally to the natural beauty of the Wye River area.”1 Throughout the course of “Tintern Abbey, the speaker tells the audience of his great love for nature and of how it has shaped his views on life and the world at large and he describes through elegant poetic writing, different periods of his life and the role in which nature has played in molding his general perspective on living. The speaker holds the belief that “nature is not only an object of beauty and the subject of memories, but also the catalyst for a beautiful, harmonious relationship between two
She dwelt among the Untrodden ways William Wordsworth was a Romantic poet who believed that poetry was an overflow of feelings and emotion according to what he wrote in the Preface to Lyrical Ballads. His poem "She Dwelt in Untrodden Ways," part of the grouping called the Lucy poems, certainly shows the reader a wealth of emotions. The Lucy poems "variously ordered in different editions tell...of an uneasy courtship, blissful domestic life, and abrupt and devastating loss" (Jackson). According to most, the Lucy poems are seen as a "lyrical sequence," according to Mark Jones, but that interpretation may be much too simple. However, in any event, the power of Wordsworth's poetry is undeniable and the feelings that he brings forth are remarkable.
