Compare 4 poems (1 Duffy/ 1 Armitage/ 2 Pre 1914) which you have found :: English Literature

Compare 4 poems (1 Duffy/ 1 Armitage/ 2 Pre 1914) which you have foundinteresting because of the way they are structured and the languageused.In this essay, I am going to compare four poems, which are thieveryby Carol Ann Duffy, Hitcher by Simon Armitage, My Last Duchess byRobert Browning and The Laboratory by Robert Browning that I havefound interesting as the way they are structured and the languageused.The four poems tout ensemble have similarities between themselves, as they areall involved with the floor of violent. Also, the poets have used manyunlike language devices with a well-planned structure to make thepoem more appealing to the reader. This is effective, because it makesthe reader feels that its different from the other poems.Firstly, in Stealing Duffy has started off the poem with arhetorical question, The most uncommon thing I ever stole? A snowman.(Line 1)This whitethorn illustrates to us either that the persona is responding thequestion that some(prenominal) one has asked in a conversation or the personawanted to tell us what is the unusual thing she/he has stole. Thismakes us feel interesting to the poem, because the languages Duffy hasused, to make we as a reader to interpret whatever way we like. Thestructure in Stealing is irregular, because the previous stanza doesnot link towards the next stanza. This perhaps displays that Duffy istrying to shows the disturbed mind of the persona.Mostly Im so bored I could eat myself. (Line 21)From this sentence we loafer find out that the persona is an abnormalperson, because a normal person would not eat him/herself even thoughif they were bored. The interesting bit of the structure is that it isunique. Since that some of the poems always have the same structurewhich seem to be normal and dull, therefore if the poem structured ina different way forget make the reader feel its an extraordinary poem.In contrast, in Hitcher, My Last Duchess and The Laboratoryalthough, the languages that the poets ha ve used are not violent, butwhat the character does in the poem makes the poem seem to be violent.For example - In Hitcher, the murder killed a person in the poem,once with the head, then six times with the krooklok in the face.(Line 13)From this line it proves that Armitage has hardly used any violentlanguages in the violent act scene. This makes the poem seems to beinteresting because the poem has still contains the theme of violent,without using aggressive languages.
