The repetition of “you” in the lines “unravelled your marriage, left your children echoing like tunnels in labyrinth, left your mother a dead-end” emphasises the immensely accusatory tone of the poem. These accusations in The Minotaur show that Hughes puts all blame for their failed marriage onto his wife, and is not taking any of the responsibility. Hughes’s view of Plath is a conflicting perspective to society’s view of the couple’s relationship. How Hughes portrays his conflicting perspective

Havisham is about a woman who was deeply in love with her to be husband but when he abandoned her at the altar, she never forgave him, and now she sits in her wedding dress holding a grudge against her fiancé for what he did, and how he stopped her life at that moment. She imagines causing him pain in some of the most violent ways she can imagine. Death is also symbolised not by the end of life, but by the festering of her wedding dress that she still wears, the moulding wedding cake that was never eaten. And ultimately the idea of the death of the life she could’ve had. At that moment her future was taken from her, and she never moved on from that moment.
When Nick and Daisy are alone for the first time she states, “Well, I’ve had a very bad time…and I’m pretty cynical about everything” (21). Daisy speaks as if her life is completely miserable and she also doesn’t seem to believe that any of it is her fault. What a lie.

Before this line, Jordan remarks that she’s “never seen a girl so mad about her husband,” it’s more like Daisy was mad with worry that her husband was off with some other woman.
When his most loved daughter comments on her sister’s reactions about his wishes, he then begins to go insane after irrationally separating his land between two of his three daughters based on their charm bringing terrible consequences for everyone.

A reason of immaturity from the daughters that Lear didn’t notice was how fond they were of him when he declared his wanting, therefore, they aren’t ready to rule a kingdom. They allowed their father to act as if he is still in charge.

From the beginning of their meeting Estella is cruel, treating Pip like he is not worth her time or even anyones. Even with the way that Estella treats Pip he's drawn to her from the start, thinking she is very beautiful and very callous at the same time. Pip thinks that “She seemed much older than I, of course, being a girl, and beautiful and self-possessed; and she was as scornful of me as if she had been one-and-twenty, and a queen.” (45) Pip has to spend time with Estella, playing whatever games that Miss Havisham request of them, he is okay with this because even with all the insults she gives him, he simply enjoys her company.
