Shakespeare Poem

The great William Shakespeare lived during a time of many noted and influential people such as Pocahontas, King James I, and Sir Walter Raleigh. Even though Pocahontas was born during the later years of Shakespeare’s life, interesting correlations exist between the playwright and the Indian princess. King James I of England wrote about witches, which gave some background information for Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Macbeth. As the special guest of Queen Elizabeth I, it is likely that Sir Walter Raleigh watched some of Shakespeare’s plays presented at court. The daughter of a Native American chief, the King of England, and the famous explorer, all lived and gained notoriety during the lifetime of William Shakespeare.

Many people believe that Shakespeare wrote his own plays and many people do not. The author of article Read claims, "Some of Shakespeare's plays took place outside of London but Shakespeare never traveled outside of London. Shakespeare only had a few legal documents with his handwriting and his plays were written by a different hand. Also people say that the plays was wrote by a scholar and there is no proof that Shakespeare ever attended school" (Fraser). People who do not believe it was Shakespeare who wrote the plays think it was Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, or Edward de Vere. So the real question is: did Shakespeare really write his own plays or did someone else? It is Edward de Vere that wrote Shakespeare.

How dare they incarcerate me within this infernal penitentiary with all of these, these MADMEN. Every excruciating day and night I am imprisoned like a rat in a cage, watched constantly by guards who merely view me as another poor player in this ghastly band of lunatics, with no respect for my brilliant abilities which they falsely deem to be madness. With each passing day, my senses grow more acute; I hear the tormented screams of the insane who have resided in my cell as I sleep, I can feel the very ground muttering to me with each stride across the crude stone floors of this accursed fortress. I must prove my sagacity to these foolish overseers and make them behold the true extent of my powers in order to finally receive

William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, a shoemaker and a daughter of an affluent farmer in 1564. He was born on April 23, and baptised two days later.

However, in poems such as ‘A Sunday Morning Tragedy’ and ‘The Newcomer’s Wife’, Hardy shows only a negative view on life throughout them. Hardy uses the idea of women's sexual impurity as a way to negatively portray society, to show the way society in his time treated people unfairly. In ‘A Sunday Morning Tragedy’, it is shown that even through a strong maternal love shown to the daughter in the ballad, the daughter still suffered from her unwed pregnancy. ‘‘Is there an herb…?’ I asked. ‘Or none?’/ Yes, thus I asked him desperately.’ When the mother says ‘herb’ it is meant that she is trying to find something to abort her daughter’s unborn baby. The mother asks the shepherd ‘desperately’ which shows her strong maternal love for her daughter, in her desperation to help her and get what her daughter needs to live a life without shame. ‘’This scandal shall be slain,’ Said I,/ ‘That lours upon her innocency.’’ The use of sibilance and alliteration in what the mother says highlights the idea of the secretive nature of the family's situation and the gossip that is being spread around the village about them. Furthermore, in the first line, Hardy uses eight syllables whereas he uses nine in the second line; ‘’That lours upon her innocency.’’ This break in the regular rhythm of the ballad can suggest to the reader a lack of truth from the mother. In the society that Hardy was living in, it was socially unacceptable to become pregnant while unwed. By also breaking the regularity in the syllables, it draws attention the the line, which could be used to suggest the unwanted

When looking at these three poems,  it immediately becomes noticeable that all of them are very similar.  They often share the same lines,  almost word for word,  and furthermore follow a smilar tone,  as well as having an identical rhyming pattern.  „The passionate shepherd to his love“ (poem number one)  is followed by an answer from his lover (poem number two),  and is then followed up by a further poem by Cecil Day Lewis,  which like in poem number one,  is an attempt at winning a ladies heart over,  and convincing her to devote all her love to him.

Great writers convey their message without bluntly stating it to their audience. Hardy’s insightful poetry conjures the minds of his audience and encourages them to reflect on how inhumane the social classes were and how poorly women were treated without every saying it. Because of its’ simplicity and relatability Hardy’s clever use of an everyday conversation between two women is more powerful than any lengthy lecture or straightforward statement he could have given.
