Explanation Of Tone

Wilfred Owen shows us this distance by using the past tense, making the memories stay in the past for the soldier, and creating a certain link to regret and deception. Furthermore, deception is also evoked when referring to the female gender, who is interestingly not only referred as girls but also implied as women and mother who are generally caring and loving but are instead rejecting and deprive him from his pleasures. Deception comes as the women who have become frauds, compared to the young beautiful women of his youth, deceive him. Evidence to this is when Wilfred Owen writes in the second stanza about the women, as things turn from fun to horrid when the women ‘touch him like some queer disease’. The fact that the women do not see him as a person but as a disease that they must cure, a ‘queer’ disease, meaning strange and bizarre, suggests the disgust they feel as they touch him, but also the unloving manner in which he senses they treat him, as if he was a thing, and object of horror. The writer demonstrates to the reader how uncaring females have become onwards the soldier, showing a complete change in behaviour from them because he has lost his legs. Reasons for this may be gender roles at that time which expected men to be strong a protection for women; in the soldier’s case, this could be

The poem “To my Dear and Loving Husband” by Anne Bradstreet, is not just an exceedingly felt expression of a wife’s marital love and commitment to her husband, as it is about a puritan women who is supposed to be reserved but she makes it her obligation to enlighten her husband of her devotion. A thorough analysis of the poem’s paradox, hyperbole, imagery and repetition reveals how she conveys her message.

The relationship that the poem refers to is a domestic one husband, and wife, with the family and its occupants in the center. The speaker’s male tone comes from the way he talks about the house, his description of how it is falling apart, and how he feels inside. The age of the speaker is unknown, but he is undoubtedly old enough to recall a past event. Another indicator of the speaker’s male tone it is the trend for males to hide their feelings of pain -and what better way than to use the house as an implied metaphor. Rather than addressing anyone in particular, the speaker seems at first describing how the relationship starts to fall apart:

In the third stanza it states that “If she wants to grill anything, it's her husband spitted over a slow fire. This quote makes me feel that she want to kill her husband because he is probably not helping her at home and making her his slave. I believe that this person is tired of cooking and being a slave to her husband. In the end of the poem, it also states “During dinner is not incompetence but war”. This means that this happened for a long time I believe that women all over the world are being mistreated and they should stand up for what they believe in. Therefore women should be treated the same way men are being

1. This quote shows unusual behavior for the time period present. In the Victorian times, it was the man’s duty to take care of the wife and children, or in other words- to take charge of the family in general. It was a sign of strength for men. Since Mrs. Joe is the one taking care of the family, which was commonly the husband’s job in this era, Joe is considered a weakness to his society and to his wife. This is because he is not taking charge for his family. The determination and strength coming from Mrs. Joe was also not very common either for women of the time. (109 words)

Most of the poem is sweet, but also tells them to hurry and enjoy life right now before they run out of time. Also that their bodies are energized now and later on they won’t be able to do what they would do when they were younger. In comparison to “To His Coy Mistress” the author tells them to get married also because they have something that time will sooner, or later take away and that would be sad that they didn’t get to enjoy it just because they wanted to

The author was giving a message then at the end of the poem it changes. He was giving the message that war happens to everybody and that they will have to go to war at some point in there life. The problem is that they don’t know the bourdon that it puts on the people that he has supported and been supported by until his son is sent of. He gets a totally different feeling when he doesn’t know what could happen to his son. He gets his message across by proving that every body has something to do with war wether they like it or not. Your parents might have been to war, if not them then your uncles, cousins, friends, or your neighbors(old men). Then if it isn’t them it could be your child who is going and the feeling is different, you lose the feeling of security when you cant protect your child. He

Anne Bradstreet's poem, "To My Dear and Loving Husband," is a small poem wherein she’s revealing her never-ending love, devotion, and appreciation for her spouse. The fact that she was born around the seventeenth century could mean it is puritan culture for women to remain reserved, regardless of how they may truly feel; however, she makes it her obligation to make her husband aware of feelings, whether positive or negative. She uses figurative language and declarative tone through imagery, repetition, and paradoxes to send her message. "To My Dear and Loving Husband" can be interpreted in many ways by many different people depending how it is initially read. This uncertainty allows the poem to be interpreted on a surface level and on a deeper level.

The poem has focus on the day to day life of a family, to allow a critique on the ideas of a nuclear family in society. “He Runs a store. His wife does knitting his goes to war.” (Prévert 5-7) The first half of this poem takes us through constant repetition of this phrase with little change between them. The poem’s use of rhymes and repetition allows for the poem to be read in a merry tone, likely meant to be sarcastic by Prévert.
