- A02
- Closed from - monotomy of the marraige
- Irregular rhyme scheme - broken relationship
- The final stanza doesn't end in a heroic couplet, unlike the other 2 - reflects the separation of the couple
- 'Chastity' is personified seems threatening
- Simile 'like a thread to hold'
- Caesura - reflects their separation
- Reflective/sad tone of inevitability
- Main ideas
- Jennings looking in on her parents marriage
- Their marriage has 'grown cold' is sexless and passionless
- Bound by religion - unhealthy
- A03
- Elizabeth Jennings 1966
- Influenced by Catholicism, Jennings grew up in Catholic background
- Divorce was taboo in the 60's
- Part of 'the movement'
- Links with Jane (A04)
- Jane has to control and temper her passion vs loss of passion in poem
- Marriage acts as a barrier in both texts (Bertha and Rochester)
- Both texts present a negative depiction of marriage St John dies vs the couple being miserable forever
