The poem is written as eulogy to the poet’s wife, and the somber tone is instantly evident. However, the title suggests the unearthing of a mislaid youth. The speaker of the poem speaks of sorting through old belongings, and he seems to take sentiment from things that at the time were just part of every […]
Love comes in many different forms. When the word love is mentioned, people think of different things. They might think of love as what they have for their partner or their favourite cuddly toy. Both Christina Rossetti and Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote poems about 4 different attitudes towards love. Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote the poems […]

In Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night (or What You Will); many different types of love are present and experienced by the characters. These range from true love, to friendship to unrequited love, which is unreturned. Such as the love triangle between the Duke Orsino, Viola/Cesario and Olivia. These three are the main characters; they form the […]
In this piece, I will discuss how love can be a painful encounter for certain individuals, using “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” and “Bredon Hill” as examples. These two poems illustrate distinct aspects of love: one explores the physical repercussions of love, while the other showcases the emotional aftermath of love. I will begin by […]
Both of these poems deal with the subject of love, but their views are almost opposing. Burns whose poem was first published in 1794 writes about an idealised love, while Rossetti who wrote her poem on 18 November 1859, writes with a cynical view of romance. Burns was a famous poet in his day, he […]
Many people have different views on love. Many of these views throughout the ages are explored through poetry as love has much contemporary relevance in today’s society as it ever did before. Two love poems I read which inspired me were Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 116’ and Carol-Anne Duffy’s ‘Valentine’. Shakespeare’s poem is a traditional sonnet written […]
However, the two poems differ in their tone and attitude, one being cheerful and confident, the other is gloomy and despondent and at the end the reader realises that the points of the two poets are very different.In ‘The Sun Rising’, Donne teasingly criticises the rising sun for disturbing him and his lover lying in […]
This is a love poem written by a Scottish poet. As the poem is written in Scottish dialect, to grasp it in its full effect it would be good to hear it read by someone with a strong Scottish accent. The poem is a ballad and is in four line stanzas. The poet also uses […]
“Sonnet CXXX” by William Shakespeare was written to send a message to poets, telling them that sonnets do not have to be unrealistic; Shakespeare also mocks traditional Elizabethan sonnets. The occasion is that Shakespeare believes in real love and not falsely comparing women to god-like creatures. The sonnet was written in the Renaissance era. The […]
One of the hardest things to do is to leave someone that is dear to us, and convince them its ok. John Donne does so brilliantly in his poem Valediction: Forbidding Morning. The poem’s message is that the relationship between two lovers is greater than anything else to them, and that true love cannot be […]
‘In Memory of My Mother’ is about love, a very strong theme in this poem. The speaker has great love for his mother. She is dead but he still thinks about her wherever he is. He remembers moments they shared together and he replays them in his mind. “I see you walking down a lane” […]
Shakespeare composed Sonnet 116 in the sixteenth century, and it follows the traditional form of a Shakespearian sonnet. The love poem is structured into three quatrains where the poet shares his perception of genuine love, followed by an assertion of his faith in a concluding rhyming couplet. The poem beautifully portrays the steadfastness and constancy […]
I am going to be comparing and contrasting Eileen McAuley’s ‘The Seduction’ and Andrew Marvell’s ‘To His Coy Mistress’. The reason that I have chosen to compare these two poems is because they both have the theme of passion, love and the lack of respect for women, however they portray the theme from different points […]
Fairytales are typically improbable stories, which tend to consist of fantastical elements and occurrences. It is a tale involving a series of motifs that take place in an unreal world, involving individualized characters with developed or flat personalities.

Lord Alfred Tennyson authored both The Charge of the Light Brigade and The Defence of Lucknow. Alfred Tennyson was made poet laureate by Queen Victoria in 1850.

The two poems I am comparing are ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ by Lord Alfred Tennyson and ‘The Hyenas’ by Rudyard Kipling.
