In this poem there are some statements or words that make us wonder what was intended by the author. Sexton actually created this poem with a simple but implies what she felt. It means that it is not clearly described and will make us a little confuse. An expression that is ambiguous if it contains two or more different (usually mutually exclusive) meanings between which the interpreter must choose is called
'Violent passions lead to violent ends', therefore the romance becomes a tragedy. Philip Larkin however deliberately downgrades romantic ideas of love and is, is much more cynical in his poems like ‘Love’, ‘Sad steps’, and ‘Love songs in age’,‘ An Arundel tomb’ and‘ Talking in bed. His poems are filled with unconventional ideas of love and in some ways, he is more truthful about it than Shakespeare. However, people may say that Larkin is narrow-minded and critical. Even though there are some similarities between the two writers, there are also many differences.
The way how Larkin and Abse talk about settings in their poetry is contrasting. While Larkin uses the settings to illustrate the poetry as negative like in ‘Talking in Bed’ and ‘Home is So Sad’ Abse get a taste of his settings even if he doesn’t like them, for example in ‘Leaving Cardiff’. Larkin appears as a person who has a scorn for norml things and thus alienate the settings in hus poems. Like a bed used to be a comfortable place, which is now a ‘honest’ place, while on the other hand Abse let the settings be a setting and writes any story on top pf it without influencing the plce as Larkin does. In ‘Talking in Bed’ Larkin explores “two people being honest” in bed.
For instance a stanzas definition “In poetry a stanza is a grouped set of lines within a poem…”. In a prose stanzas are not used instead periods are put in at the end to start another line. Poetry is different in these ways but have similarities with prose. A similarity between the two is that they both have is they are both forms of literature and they both compliment each other. One way they compliment each other is that a poem can become a story and a story can become a screenplay.
This sense of control is only further strengthened by another technique used by both poets, the regular inclusion of caesuras. Molloy and Browning deploy caesuras to create a blunt and snappy tone to their controlling characters narrative. This bluntness illustrates the characters expectance of respect they will get from the reader, just like the respect gained from their respective loved ones due to their dominant and powering demeanour. However, there are also some stark differences in between the two texts as well, with Les Grands Seigneurs being written in four stanzas compared to only the one stanza being used to narrate the entirety of My Last Duchess. This difference in structure deployed by the authors could represent the different manners in which opposite genders will refer to love in, with the female character in Les Grands Seigneurs being composed and polite in her acknowledgement of the importance of males in her life.
Within his works, Shakespeare writes with elaborate language but carefully includes contextual clues in the prose to aid readers in understanding. In The Tempest, Shakespeare uses poetic elements, primarily end rhyme, to draw attention to certain scenes that contain significant insight and alone have the power to affect the plot's development throughout the play. End rhyme is a powerful poetic element that sharply contrasts normal prose. Because people don't normally talk in rhyme, it stands out from everyday dialogue; a technique writers can use to their advantage to ensure the reader takes notice of significant scenes where end rhyme is used. In those scenes, end rhyme changes the tone of what the characters are saying and stresses the importance of it.
Both were as well the founders of their own styles of writing. Between the two writers, one can find considerable differences in their style of writing. The most notable difference one can find is that in Dickinson's poems, the language used is simpler, and her texts were shorter, contrary to Whitman, who uses a much more complex literary language and his texts are considerably longer. The writer Walt Whitman uses a lyrical or epic style with extensive poems and frequent parallelisms. His writings are full of optimism towards freedom, sexuality, spirituality and life.
This is done because often with longer poems the reader may begin to lose interest in what the poet has to say. By making the poem shorter the poet keeps the interest of the reader and by making it less wordy his point is easier to see and makes it easy for the reader to see where the poet is coming from. Both Dickinson and Thomas used irony when titling their poems. “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” begins with a transitional word (Because) as if she is answering a question. It is as if she has now found her voice only after death has taken her from the natural world.
Themes which recur in Hardy's writings are injustice, love, break ups, disappointment, fate and the unfair treatment of women. He was basically a traditionalist when it came to the form of poetry but one interesting thing he often did was include 'colloquial' language (language that is usually heard rather than read; spoken language which is usually not standard English). Form This poem is a 'dramatic dialogue' - a conversation between two people which tells a story and reveals things about both characters. Structure It is set out as six, four-line stanzas (a four-line stanza is also known as a 'quatrain') with a regular 'aabb' rhyme scheme. The 'bb' rhyme (lines 3-4 in each stanza) is always the same as the last word in each stanza is "she".
Dealing With Persecution Louise Erdrich’s poem “Indian Boarding School: The Runaways” and Anne Sexton’s “Her Kind” both demonstrate the theme of persecution by using imagery and a standard format to spark that emotion in the reader. Sexton is a confessional poet ;therefore, it is commonly accepted that the speaker is her own voice. In contrast, Erdrich utilizes a speaker that may or may not be her own voice. Even though both look at the theme of persecution, they each have a clearly different perspective. Both poems are in the same format and with the same theme of persecution; however, while Erdrich’s poem presents a conforming to the persecution, Sexton shows a woman not bending to the persecution.
