English LiteratureASAll boards Created by: Amy McKeagCreated on: 11-01-12 17:47 'Miss Drake Proceeds to Supper' by Plath This poem conradicts the idea of a peaceful hospital as the narrator is being attacked. 'ambushed air' Different to many Plath poems as the narrator is objective whereas generally Plaths poetry is subjective. 1 of 4 'Spinster' by Plath narrator prefers the harsh neatness of winter rather than the life and joy of spring. Throughout this poem there seems to be an almost hatred of love and any emotion apart from hate or distaste. There is a stong contrast of spring (loev, fertility and life) and winter (order, rigid, cruel and death). Te narrator loaths love as she sees it as a loss of control... 'Pitch her five queenly wits into vulgar motley' 'treason not to be bourne' 2 of 4 'Medallion' by Plath Plath constrasts Hughes in the way she writes about nature: she always seems to be distant. Flam imagery is used constantly 'orange' 'bronze' ' vermillion' Beauty in death 'smouldering' Satanic imagery 'rose colored arrow' image of satan's tongue as forked as well as his tail. 3 of 4 'You're' by Plath First pregnancy idealistic Manifestation of love between two people- literally and artistically. 'Right like a well-done sum' 4 of 4
