The World’s Wife is name of a collection of poems by Carol Ann Duffy. The poems are re-telling the most widely known stories about gender relationships and the traditional views of women. In all of the original versions, that are widely available, we hear what men tell us about the things that happened. They mostly discriminated women’s roles by narrating the stories in a way that they liked, and they hide real truths. In contrast, Duffy is basically trying to focus on the women’s versions of the stories

In the poem ‘War Photographer’, the author Carol Ann Duffy brings out a severe highlight on the destruction and violence of which results from war and how the world does not seem to be concerned about what the war photographers have to witness during the war. The poem starts with an explanation and description of the war photographer standing by himself in the dark room. The photos that he had taken during the war were all organized in order. He thought of every place he had been

‘The World’s Wife’ is a collection of poems by Carol Anne Duffy published in 1999. Throughout Duffy’s collection of the poems she represents women from history, myths and fairy tales, particularly those whose stories tend to be defined by men, or who have only a cameo appearance in male-dominated scenarios. ‘The Worlds Wife’ collection explores the themes of sexism, inequality and stereotypes, which women, sadly still face in modern society. In Duffy’s collection some poems look at the story of the

Autonomy within David Malouf’s Ransom is represented by the lack of overbearing and constant interference by the gods. Although the characters are bound by fate they are unrestricted in acting within their own free will. In Carol Ann Duffy’s Little Red Cap we see Red’s autonomy by subverting the traditional narrative and giving her control of the tale and fate of the Wolf. The concept that humans possessed their own autonomy over their actions and the opportunities they took was unfathomable concept

make others suffer can come from pure unhappiness. Duffy and Pugh both make these distinctions in their work, and are able to engage the reader by exploring these universal themes. In Duffy’s ‘education for leisure’, we find a character who is in the grip of unhappiness and possibly some sort of depression. The opening line, ‘ I am going to kill something. Anything.’ shows the

Narrative Overview: Doug Fields and Duffy Robbins created this book to help people communicate more clearly to teenagers. The first section was composed of the reasons behind improving communication and why it is important to communicate clearly to teenagers. Ultimately this section was “how to think about effective messages.” Then they went into section two which they explained their method for preparing a message; “S.T.I.C.K.” “S” stood for “Study,” they explained that preparing a message started

One significant way Carol Ann Duffy makes us question the extent of the Devil’s wife evil behaviour is by presenting how hard it is for the Devil’s wife to accept blame. Throughout the poems she refuses to take responsibility for her actions and whilst the tone she takes shifts, the underlying message is consistent: it wasn’t me. In DIRT she says ‘he made me bury a doll’ which has a very prosaic tone to it and after the taboo deeds she describes previous to this, her nonchalance is almost deplorable

Recommendations: Mass Customization Imagine someone going into a store to buy a suit. The first thing they do is pick out a design they like or a color that they love. However, it is always a struggle to find the exact one they were looking for, some are the right color but not the right design, some are the right design but not the right color. The buyer is instantly pulled into a fritz, the suit buying conundrum has been set in motion and the mass produced company has created a highly unsatisfactory

Carol Ann Duffy is written from the perspective of Salome, a promiscuous woman who is retelling her drunken night. Although it is unclear whom Salome is speaking to, she tells her story using informal, colloquial language, as if conversing to a group of friends. Duffy uses Biblical allusions, which suggest that the speaker can be considered a reflection of the Biblical character Salome, who appears in the New Testament and is infamous for demanding the head of John the Baptist. Although Duffy seems to

about love as well as Valentine gifts. Not a red rose or a satin heart. Duffy starts the poem on an honest and somber note. The gift would not be a red rose or a satin heart. It would be something far more relevant. I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love. It will be an onion. An onion is an unconventional symbol of love. IT seems the far opposite. But Duffy then compares the onion to the moon that seems far more romantic. The
