But they also have similarities. First of all it’s philosophical works, they help us to start thinking. It is said that: “good question is half the answer” and this books ask us this good question. The main question, which Mary Shelley posed in her book, it’s alienation from your family, your friends and all society as whole. First of all lets discuss what is alienation and how we understand this term.
When I think of the word plagiarism the word criminal comes to mind. It must be treated in the same manner as a criminal act as with money and property.

In Simon Armitage’s poem ‘the manhunt’ discuss the ways in which you consider language and imagery, structure and form combine to convey the meaning. In the poem ‘manhunt’ written by Simon Armitage, the poet uses form, structure and linguistic devices to convey the meaning of the poem. As the title of the poem suggests, the poem is about a woman trying to find the person her husband was once, before he got injured. Armitage uses imagery effectively to portray the meaning of the poem, this is done by the use of metaphors , ‘the damaged, porcelain collar-bone’ this quote is saying how precious his collar bone is, and how breakable it is. The ‘porcelain’ emphasises how fragile her husband is and how careful she has to be around him, so she does not upset him.

We get a glimpse of the cops fear and anxiety when he says goodbye to his wife. Norman MacCaig articulates this in the line ‘this morning, when he said, “see you, babe” to his wife, he hoped it, he truly hoped it’. This is a powerful moment in the poem as it begs the reader to think about the effect the omnipresence of violence has on both the cop and his wife. As the poem progresses and comes to its conclusion we are then asked to consider who might have to be the cop’s victims. We can see this in the last stanza where it reads ‘and who would be have to be his victims?’ Ultimately the victims are all around us in the form of the cop, his wife and the people he encounters on the beat.
His last line emphasises this regret but also acceptance that his son has to go through life feeling sharp wounds.He wants to protect his son, it shows the connection and bound between father and son and the closeness of their relationship. Scannell lost 2 sons and this may be inspiration for this poem. He couldn’t protect his own children from the harshness of the world. The poem uses time phrases a lot; ‘last, ‘and then’, ‘in two weeks’, ‘would often feel’; this adds a narrative feel to the poem. Another feature that adds to the narrative feel is the way the poem is written in the first person.
Compare the ways in which Sylvia Plath and Philip Larkin evaluate the perception of victimisation The theme I decided to focus on was the poets perception of victimisation. Both authors in these poems use this motif in different ways both having the personas in their poems having no control at the forefront of their storyline. The poems I decided to compare where Sunny Prestatyn, Ambulances, Daddy and Lady Lazarus. The poets choose to highlight these themes throughout their poems because both have gone through a form of victimisation. Whether in Plath’s case it’s through her father, husband, life in general she seems to feel.
Overview and Context The poem might be viewed as a literary exercise in logic as much as a ‘love’ poem’. Marvell’s speaker uses a tripartite structure to follow his argument to its conclusion, effectively forming a ‘syllogism’. This poem is also a prime example of the ‘sex-death’ juxtaposition (which critics such as Roland Barthes have explored in more detail), also a marked characteristic of Romeo and Juliet. Whilst many students will be able to understand the ideas contained within this poem, a very rough ‘translation’, such as the one which follows, may be useful. Click on the images to enlarge them.
It centralizes on the loneliness of the poet. The house seems to be dead for the poet which can be said by the very first line of the poem, “The house is so quiet now”. The poet has personified the vacuum with his dead wife; so that he can feel her presence in his life and she could take away his loneliness, grieves and the filth he feels in her absence. Personification has been used throughout the poem, which reflects the thoughts and feelings the poet had for his wife when she was alive. This can be seen in the seventh and eighth line of the poem, “But when my old woman died her soul/ Went into that vacuum cleaner.” So to the poet, the vacuum is his personified wife.
Evils In Daddy Have you ever read a piece of literature and noticed that an author is comparing two seemingly different things? It is as if the author wants you to see something in terms of something else. This technique in writing is what we call a metaphor. When Sylvia Plath wrote the poem “Daddy” she focused on using many metaphors throughout the poem. Plath’s main focus in the poem was her father.
