- SIBILANT ALLITERATION "Safety, safely safe home" repeated/ prayered/ chanted at the end of each quatrain and then once extra on final stanza
- Strong tone of self mockery
- SIBILANT ALLITERATION "Safety, safely safe home" repeated/ prayered/ chanted at the end of each quatrain and then once extra on final stanza
- "steadiily, hurry towards me" Oxymoranic - creates self mocking tone of knowing children one day have to grow up and leave
- HYPERBOLE "every day people..."
- Duffy is exploring the alternate side of love ie maternal/ paternal/ platonic
- The connotations of love are not as significant as the feelings of anxiety and concern a person can feel for someone they love
- Unidentified narrator (ambig age/ gender) mediates on an absent loved one. Worried for their safety in a dangerous far away place.
- Pugh 1. Paradise for the children
- 3rd person narrative, with first person intrusions
- Tone of panic "how are you supposed to not worry about them?"
- SETTING = park
- CAESURA AND ENJAMBMENT Fast pace - "That man....in their direction" typical maternal/ paternal protectiveness
- SETTING = park
- Tone of panic "how are you supposed to not worry about them?"
- 3rd person narrative, with first person intrusions
- Pugh 2. Sweet 18
- 1ST person monologue - directly addressed to somebody = sinister and shocking as content would usually remain hidden
- Idea of a sexual relationship introduced, disturbs reader
- Half rhyme (almost couplets) reflect the way the narrator and the youthly figure do not match conventionally
- Destructive, forbidden desire
- Connection: Both elude to maternal love
- Connection: Reciprocate love vs destructive/ forbidden love
- Duffy 2. Oppenheim's Cup and Saucer
- Rhyming couplets+ sibilance: the slim rope of her spine/ mine - rope = life line or saving themselves
- 1st person female narrator retelling of sexual encounter. Unpunctuated lover interjections "this is your cup, she whispered"
- "talked dirty" = eludes to the persona's strong sense of sexuality but "dirty" also = the bad light in which they talk about men/ male partners
- "Luncheon in fur" sophisticated reference to oral sex
- Picasso to Oppenheim: you can cover anything with fun Oppenheim "even this cup"
- She turned taraditional tableware (associated w feminimiyt) into sensuous, sexually punning tableware"
- Demotic but nontheless elegant voice
- Picasso to Oppenheim: you can cover anything with fun Oppenheim "even this cup"
- "far from the loud laughter of men" literally and metaphorically
