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 poems of Hopkins and Dickinson both talk about the hardships of declining mental health with the theme of depression and despondency. The poems are similar in the context, however the style that each is written presents a different stage of despair and opinions I feel. The way in which the poems are similar is the fact they both describe the characters depression, in the poem by Hopkins we are introduced with the idiom ‘no worst; there is none’. This sets the tone of grief and unhappiness, as if to say that these emotions are engrained in society and things could not possibly get any worse for him. The first line uses the plosive word ‘pitch’ repeatedly in order to emphasise the ‘pangs’ that the character feels; the repetition also dramatizes the depth of his despair.
How does Plath explore destructive relationships in Daddy and Tulips? Destructive relationships were a weak point in Plath’s life, as she was constantly disappointed by the relationships she had with others, such as that between her mother, father, husband and child. Her poems, which are partly stimulated by them, particularly ‘Daddy’ and ‘Tulips’, are a powerful source of ‘murderous art’, where she was able to expose her bitterness and resentment towards them. She uses recurring imagery associated with the three protagonists in her life, and poetry in attempt of breaking free from the chains of a ‘tortured mind of the heroine’. Plath’s gift of recreating her past experiences in a complex form, so as to remove them from her present, started to seem like an obsession, within which her poems show a regular pattern of self-centredness.
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.
This word helps the reader to identify the speaker’s emotional standpoint of the separation. One can assume he feels as if his ex-lover has ripped his heart apart from hers. In the last line of the first stanza, “truly that hour foretold sorrow to this,” the speaker shows the readers that the pain and grief he feels in the moment of their separation does not ease with time. The feelings he felt in the moment of separation was just foreshadowing the greater sorrow the speaker would feel later on. In the second stanza, it describes the speaker’s atmosphere as being cold.

We can see the different aspects of war and what effect it had on the mind of different people and artists such as poets in their work. Many poets glamourized war, attracting it with their pen and giving it a beautiful look by glorifying death and considerate young blood that were fighting for their homeland.

W H Auden’s poem, The Fall of Rome, explores the idea of the deterioration of a civilization. In this essay I will write about how Auden depicts how he sees this civilization falling. Through the structure and the literary devices of the poem, I will come to the conclusion that post World War 2 western civilization was similar to the civilization during its fall. In other words Auden was warning the western war that it could fall. One of the first things a reader can notice about this poem is the rhyme scheme.
