Thinking this would stop her from her mission was a sorrowful mistake. Saint Cecilia preached the laws of God even more with a new fire knowing that her husband and brother in law were with the Father Almighty. Even after the beheading of herself, she hung on by just a strip a skin her heat still beating while her family and friend came to say good-bye and wish her a safe journey. Sentenced to death she was not worried or scared, because she knew she would be joining her father. Saint Cecilia’s childhood was unique for most saints.
What do you think are the feelings about marriage in this poem and how does the poet present these feelings to the reader? In the poem 'A marriage', Michael Blumenthal expresses a clear view to the reader by presenting marriage as a positive affair which helps people to share burdens as well as progress their lives. At the beginning of the poem, Blumenthal implies that living on your own is a tire and an exhausting ordeal as he describes the arms as "tired". This word is repeated which exaggerates the misery of loneliness and implies that there is no end; this idea of there being no end is also expressed in "either your arms or the ceiling will soon collapse" giving out before the end. From this, it is clear to the reader that Blumenthal believes that being alone is painful and controlling towards you.
The fact that the mother fears for her child’s safety and sends her to what she believes is a safe place is ultimately where her daughter meets her demise. Another specific example of irony within the poem is the fact that her mother dresses her in her fancy church clothes, white gloves included, which is ultimately the dress in which one might be buried. In lines six and seven, the words “fierce,” “wild,” “clubs,” “hoses,” and “guns” all conjure up images of fights and riots.

Alliteration in used in the following examples: “for,” “fear,” and “fire” (14) and “wet” and “wild” (26).
Even if the house is burned to ashes she is hopeful that a “sufficient … [amount of necessities will be] left” by God for her family (20). The use of the word “sufficient” gives a hopeful tone to the poem which contrasts with her anguish of putting God before inanimate objects (20). She “chides” (37) for even placing the briefest value of “thy wealth on earth” (38). While it is difficult to accept the loss of her house, she knows that true wealth is not on this earth. She is confident that true wealth, “hope and Treasure lies above” in Heaven (54).
Devastated Mary begins a journey of liberating herself, and the society at large. A journey of true forgiveness starts by her questioning the bible and the church superiors about love and God.

When Goodman Brown begins his journey, he leaves his loving wife being a good Christian man. When he leaves his wife, Faith, the author is using a double meaning stating that he is literally leaving his wife and he is leaving his faith in God behind (53). Goodman Brown states “she’s a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night, I’ll cling to her skirts and follow her to Heaven” (53). It is interpreted by the reader as Faith literally being an angel from Heaven trying to convince Goodman Brown not to follow down the path of evil. Faith, also as a good wife, appears to know something evil is taking place and does not want Goodman Brown to participate.

In Robert Frost’s “Home Burial,” Bobbie Ann Mason’s “Shiloh,” and Katherine Ann Porter’s, “Jilting of Granny Weatherall,” such conflicts are introduced and used to project love differently.
