The main conflict in the poem is shown prominent in the first 2 lines of the first quatrain, -“When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her although I know she lies”, obviously the speaker is trying to express that his mistress is lying about something and he knows, yet he accepts that. Line 2 holds an important paradox, the speaker identifies that he knows she’s lying however he still believes her which is something most people wouldn’t do if they knew someone held falsities, so why is he so calm about his mistress lying? The poem goes on to answer this question, the speaker is insecure about his age, he wants his mistress to see him as something he is not “that she might think me some untutored youth” so he wants to be seen as naive and youthful and in line 12 he acknowledges that, “and age in love, loves not to have years told” told not meaning “having said” but told as in “counting”. Therefore he means that old lovers don’t like to have their years counted, they want to feel as though they still deserve love. That’s another prime aspect of Shakespeare’s piece, the misleading diction in which the speaker writes.
However, whilst it can be argued that the narrator’s dislike for the “sloven season” is as a result of the affect it has on her mentally, it can also be interpreted to affect her heart, as it is in reference to her “lover” who is “unbalancing the air”. It is suggested that love makes the narrator feel uncomfortable due to her not having full control. The fear of a particular time of day/year is also shown in Hughes’ ‘Wind’ in which night is shown to evoke fear. The narrator describes the woods to be “crashing through the darkness”. The use of onomatopoeia creates shock and fear within the narrator due to the harsh effects the wind is having on the “woods”; this is also evident through the use of “booming”.
Comparison The message of rubbish at adultery is that having an affair isn’t always the best thing, because someone will always be complaining. The poet wants us to understand that everyone should be truthful to one another. The poet also wants us to know that some people just aren’t made to be adulterers because they can’t stand feeling the guilt of knowing that they are ripping apart their family. The message of half of our love now is saying that a relationship can be ruined just like that and can never be the same as it was, but the other half of the poem is saying that even though a relationship can be ruined just like that, it can be healed over time. The language used in rubbish at adultery is very formal.
Tyhesia Simpson August 4, 2012 AP English 11 Holden INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH One of Holden’s biggest struggles is feeling lonely and trying to seek companionship. Throughout the novel Holden has a difficult time connecting with people around him but deep in his heart he is longing for love and companionship. You see this when he first gets to New York and he decides that he wants to call someone. This is eerie considering his dislike of people. After not getting a hold of someone, he seeks out women to flirt with to try to fill that void in his heart.
Hester Prynne: A Casualty in her own Erotic War. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne’s depiction of Hester Prynne’s inner turmoil can be viewed and deliberated on in numerous ways. As the reader myself, Hester’s inner turmoil is given off as that when she is denying her secret of Dimmesdale being her lover, she wishes she could deny that anything between them ever happened. Whenever Hester would think about her sin of adultery, Hester would in turn feel sick to her stomach. To me it looks as though Hester believes that Dimmesdale and herself could be together, but will not be able to on this earth before they die.
He constantly lies to his wife about where he is and what he is doing. Unfortunately, his marriage is crumbling down quickly through lack of communication and intimacy. Though these factors are not only the causes of his deteriorating relationship, his secrecy of his homosexuality becomes a problem. His wife confronts him with wanting to know the truth, he responds, “Does it make any difference? That I might be one thing deep within, no matter how wrong or ugly that thing is, so long as I have fought, with everything I have to kill it...Im a shell”(46).
When Mignon McLaughlin “It’s the most unhappy, people who most fear change” conveys how people do not want the days past by fast because their fear of change. The fear of change can come from things that had happen to people in their lives. During this phase of denying change people may get lonely and lye to themselves or to the people around them. In the novel Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger shows how Holden Caulfield follow a track of rejecting change, being lonely, and lying to the people that care for him.
It was heartbreaking, but intention of this lie was done in love. Lies arise from love. When a daughter choses not to tell her parents about her broken marriage, she knows that her parents are going to worry and even get sick. She loves her parents, lying was a better option than telling truth. Furthermore a lie is about simply being selfish.
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
Yellow typically symbolizes sickliness, decay, and withering. This is showing what is happening to the speaker because his lover is gone and “far off there” as written in the last stanza. The occasion is a man in love is missing his lover. He years for her, as shown through him driven to madness, and this is also seen in the first stanza when he says, “I lie here thinking of you.” The audience is his lover, because it shows he is speaking to her when he says, “I lie here thinking of you.” It seems that she is far off in the distance somewhere, maybe she may not even be real, but he years for this woman he has been dreaming of, seen through the implied line, “you far off under there.” The distance between him and his lover must be great because even the format of the poem shows there great distance. This poem seem to have three important factors within its prose: a man longing for his lover or a lover, a lover or unknown woman to the speaker, and a great distance between the two full of madness and dreaming.
