Using two poems by one author & any other poems of your choice show how different poets approach the theme of love
Using two poems by one author & any other poems of your choice show how different poets approach the theme of love. Porhyria's Lover and My Last Duchess are two love poems written by Robert Browning. Let Me Not by William Shakespeare is also a love poem. Although all of these are love poems they are written by two different authors and both authors have a very different style and form of writing love poems. Here I will be looking at the different styles, forms, and approaches that these poets take when writing there love poems. Porhyria's Lover and My Last Duchess are a dark side of love poems, about men whose abnormal ways lead to the death of their loved ones. Let Me Not is a sonnet written about love in general. Let Me Not contains a regular rhyming pattern (ABABCDCD...) although the rhyming does not really flow. There is a great deal of hyperbole in the poem, which Shakespeare uses to keep the poem going from the start to the finish. The poem gives us Shakespeare's idea of the characteristics of a forever lasting love between any two people. The poem contains very little personification and is directed at no one in particular. Shakespeare used his own technique when writing sonnets. He would split the poem into three quatrains and then ended with a rhyming couplet. Each quatrain added a little more to the poem, the first quatrain introduced the idea, the

INTRODUCTION: The two stories seem to be quite different at first. "Turned" starts with the sobbing of two women for two completely different conditions. One is rich and the other is poor. While "Interlopers at the Knap" starts with the journey of a young man with his two companions to the Knap where a marriage is going to take place. So the start is quite opposite. One is sad and the other is pleasant. But as we go through the story more further the two stories seem to be sharing many themes. These themes are going to be explored in this essay of mine. COMMON THEMES: The most basic and common themes which give the tendency for the two stories being based on the same thought are as follows: - (I) LOVE: - Like almost every story "love" plays the central role in both of these stories. In "Turned" Mr.Marroner and Mrs.Marroner love each other very much. We know this from the following quotes:- "A longer love ... a deeper one", "perfect confidence they had so long enjoyed", "My dear wife!" They loved each other because they had been married for a long time and were very comfortable with each other. In "Interlopers at the Knap" Charles Darton and Helena loved each other. We know this from these quotations: - "Her hand was held by her companion, Charles Darton,
Analysis of "The Sick Rose"Written by William Blake.
Analysis of "The Sick Rose" Written by William Blake. O rose, thou art sick! The invisible worm That flies in the night, In the howling storm, Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy. In this essay, I chose to write a bout "The Sick Rose", which is a short poem written by William Blake, focusing on the metaphorical language and the symbolism used in it. Though this poem is difficult, I like its deeper meaning and the symbolism. I think that Blake succeeds in giving us a very brilliant work in a few lines. This short poem is a narrative poem made up of two stanzas; each stanza has four lines, rhyming a b c b. The language of it is pretty easy though it is written in 18th century English. The poet uses the present tense to indicate that what he is talking about might happen anytime and anywhere. The tone in the poem is sad. It is set at night, in the "howling storm." It has a double meaning. It is full of figurative language. The whole poem is a metaphor. It seems to be about a rose that has been destroyed at night by a worm, and this is the surface meaning of the poem, but it also can be seen as a tale of a rape. In the first line, the poet addresses the rose; I think that he anthropomorphizes the rose as a beautiful girl by doing this. This rose is already in a state of decay and the sickness of the rose, which is a
Analyse and discuss the similarities and differences in
For this piece of coursework you are required to compare the two poems "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria's Lover". You should choose one of the titles below and plan your ideas before writing. c) Analyse and discuss the similarities and differences in "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria's" 'My Last Duchess' and 'Porphyria's Lover' are poems written by Robert Browning in the form of a dramatic monologue. They both contain themes of love, jealousy, contempt and obsession. In the beginning of 'My Last Duchess' the Duke is speaking about his wife's portrait to an envoy. In 'Porphyria's Lover' the Lover is speaking directly to the reader, conveying his thoughts, personifying the weather perhaps emphasizing his unhappiness ('the sullen wind...soon awake') seeing as he had a 'heart fit to break'. Both the Duke and the Lover are watching the women whilst they speak. The Duke hints at her having affairs; 'Frà Pandolf's hands worked busily', 'busily' implies that he did more than just paint her picture. The Lover in 'Porphyria's Lover' shows a similarity, as he too was suspicious of her love, believing she would not give herself fully to him as she was 'from pride and vainer ties', from a higher rank. Both Porphyria and the duchess are of high ranking. The difference here is that the Duke believed his wife did not give herself fully to him, but was as equally impressed with everyone and
Discuss the Linguistic Portrayal of Love in Two or More Tudor/Elizabethan Poems.
Discuss the Linguistic Portrayal of Love in Two or More Tudor/Elizabethan Poems Most Tudor and Elizabethan poems have the content of love, but each looks upon love differently; some praising it, others despising it. Some discuss true, Neo-Platonic, Courtly love, whereas others talk of a false kind of love, simply sexually orientated. In any case, the type of love is portrayed by the form, tone, mood and voice of the poem; and the use of rhyme, rhythm and imagery. 'Since There's No Help' appears to be a poem of love-parting and falling out of love in the beginning, with the speaker only wanting to be friends with the woman; "Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows". However, by the end of the poem, following the volta at the last two lines, it is clear that the content of the poem is not about love-parting, but rather love-reconciliation and reunion. To create this twist, the author Michael Drayton ensures that the audience believes that the speaker is condemning love and that the poem is in fact about falling out of love, and uncertainty about love. To do this, he uses various literary techniques to create a certain tone and mood. The poetic voice of the poem, or the speaker, is probably Drayton himself, as there is a strong probability that the poem is about Anne Goodere, the daughter of Sir Henry Goodere, whom Drayton loved but could not have because she married
How do the love poems you have read show that love can be a very complex emotion?"Love forgives the lover even his lust" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche.
How do the love poems you have read show that love can be a very complex emotion? "Love forgives the lover even his lust" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche. Many philosophers have tried to define love. However, the definition of love is far from being straight-forward. Love is a deeply complicated emotion which branches out other different emotions. Love is one of the few emotions that can completely change a person's life. It can bring about true happiness, contentment and tranquility. However it can also bring about sorrows and pains when it is unrequited. Such an emotion, which can bring about opposing feelings such as joy and devastation, is love. It is a complex emotion. The poems "A Birthday", "When we two parted", "La Belle Dame sans Merci", "How do I love thee" and "My last Duchess" unleash to the readers the complexity of love. Each of the poems show us love in one of its many various natures and with a close study of these poems we can come to understand the multifaceted and complex nature of love. Each poem has various emotions that the poet wishes to express to the readers. In "A Birthday", Christina Rossetti uses various similes and imagery to convey her happiness and ecstasy due to her newly born love. The poet tries to express herself through the heavy use of comparisons, showing us that even when it brings joy, love remains a complex emotion. On the other hand, the
Examine the themes of love, time and poetry in Shakespeare's Sonnet XVII and Mary Wroth's Sonnet VII, and assess whether they are still relevant to a modern society.
Examine the themes of love, time and poetry in Shakespeare's Sonnet XVII and Mary Wroth's Sonnet VII, and assess whether they are still relevant to a modern society. The last ten or fifteen years of the sixteenth century was a period of amazing poetic activity: there is nothing like it in the history of our literature. Never in any equal period of our history did so much intellect go to the making of verses. The main form of verse written was the Sonnet- usually an ode to a loved one, and very often, the current Queen, Elizabeth I. The expressions of love in sonnets took several different forms: a poet declaring their love towards a wife, or someone they had been admiring from afar; often to royalty as a form of flattery, hoping to gain from ones poetic ability, and in the case of Shakespeare's Sonnet XVII, written for an unborn child. In this essay, I shall examine the themes of love, time and poetry in Shakespeare's Sonnet XVII and Mary Wroth's Sonnet VII, and assess whether they are still relevant to a modern society. A.R. Ward said that, "Shakespeare, above all, breathed into the sonnet a lyric melody and a meditative energy which no writer of any country has surpassed." Sonnet XVII proves Ward right in an astounding way- it is written deep from within Shakespeare's heart, with a lot of personal feeling going into it. This is a 'procreation' sonnet, in which the youth
The poet Robert Browning of 'Porphyria's Lover' and the writer of 'First Love', John Clare, both delve into the complexity of love in many ways, some similar and others contrasting.
Explore and explain the similarities and differences between the way each poet deals with the theme of love in 'Porphyria's Lover' and 'First Love'. How do you account for these differences? The poet Robert Browning of 'Porphyria's Lover' and the writer of 'First Love', John Clare, both delve into the complexity of love in many ways, some similar and others contrasting. The most apparent similarity is that both poems are written in the style of a monologue. Throughout these poems the reader is enlightened only to the man's perspective; therefore as a reader, we never encounter the woman's emotions and can only guess by analyzing the text of what these could be. Throughout the monologues both lovers' characteristics are revealed. In 'First Love' the reader encounters a man who is unthreatening and we experience the innocence of him falling in love for the first time. This contrasts with 'Porphyria's Lover' where the reader is subject to the mind of a lover who has a jealous and obsessive nature. The reader is immediately aware of this lover's obsessive character in the opening line. The poet Robert Browning uses the imagery of a storm to imitate the lover's emotions. The violence of the storm 'tore the elm tops down for spite', warns the reader that his emotions are indeed negative and volatile. The use of personification is present when describing the storm. This is shown
Analyzing the poem First Love.
First Love I will be analyzing a poem called First Love, the poem was written by John Clare, who was born on July 13, 1793 and died on May 20, 1864. The poem is about the poets first love. The poem has three stanzas and eight lines in each stanza, there is twenty-four lines altogether. The poem rhythms, it goes in A,B A,B form, for example Hour rhythms with flower and sweet rhythms with complete. It is in first person, because it uses a lot of I, for example "I could not see a single thing" or "I never saw so sweet a face". From the title we can see that the poet was never in love before. In the first line of the first stanza it says, "I ne'er was struck before that hour", this line tells us that the poet was never struck with so much love for a person ever in his life. In the second line it says ,"With love so sudden and so sweet", this line tells us that the poet fell in love so suddenly, this line has aliteration, e.g "so sudden and so sweet". In the third line it says, "Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower", this line tells us that the poet was shooked and dazzeled by the girls face, and he compares it with a flower. In the forth line it says, "And stole my heart away complete", this line tells us that the girls face was so enlightening for the poet, that his heart was taken away by the girls face. This line also has personification,"And stole my heart", the poet
