The words in this poem were very easy to understand. One phrase that really stood out for me was, “Where thoughts serenely sweet express how pure, how dear their dwelling place.” Images: Did the poet create strong images? What could you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel? The poet did create strong images. I could visualize that the person he is talking about is the most beautiful individual ever.
Oates places beautiful Marilyn Monroe against the background of a used bookstore to accent how foreign the girl-poets take her to be. In the first two paragraphs of Three Girls, Oates describes the Strand Used Bookstore as dark, dingy, unorganized, and unrefined (77). Whereas, later on in the story, Oates describes Marilyn Monroe as the leading lady, attractive, and charming, even though she is dressed in men’s clothing with her blond hair in a braid (78). Even when the girl-poets describe Marilyn Monroe as “more resembling them, then she resembled her Hollywood image,” she seems to be out of place in the Strand (79). The girl-poets wonder, to themselves of course, why the Marilyn Monroe would be browsing through used books, when she could be walking through the Waldorf-Astoria (80).

Lady Capulet indirectly describes Juliet’s death as peaceful and elegant, rather than gruesome and grotesque. Juliet is described as cordial and delicate, much like a flower. A similar but more mournful scene in the play makes virtually the same comparison. Near the end of play, Romeo speaks to Juliet’s false corpse in the passage, “Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty. Thou art not conquered.
Which give the characters an edge, and makes them unique. The three Mrs. W’s along side share the same view on the importance of love, and often stress the fact. This is why they saved Meg from entering the dark thing. “The gentle words, the feeling that this beast would be able to love her no matter what she said or did.” Lapped Meg in warmth and peace, she felt a delicate touch of tentacle to her cheek, as tender as her mothers kiss.” The three Mrs. W’s must have an explanation in doing this deed, and it is obvious that the three Mrs. W’s share the same compassion for one another. Also shown is that love exceeds darkness.
