That poem, much like Bishop, discusses love. Unlike Bishop, Hemans’s poem focuses on one particular form of love which she highly praises: the love of a “young faithful heart” (Hemans). Heman’s poem focuses on a captain, whose last name is Casabianca, who was mortally wounded in a battle in 1798. The boy in the poem his Casabianca’s

In Austen’s writing you see the gender roles which women were expected to have and how they ridiculous they often were. Lastly

In this poem, Hemans showcases the social conditioning of women in the early 16th century (Properzia Rossi) as an allegory for the continued belittlement in the 19th century (Felicia Hemans). In 1799, Hannah More critiqued the education system by saying that its current curriculum provided a system which promoted a lack of confidence for women (166). Those who felt this lack of self-confidence also subsumed a position of reliance to men leading to frustration and, in the extreme, self-destruction

Before the mid eighteenth century poems were written for the rich and revolved around the use of form, wit, and intellect. These neoclassical poems drew on the influences of Greek and Roman classics.
