analyse: Pale grew thy cheek and cold, colder thy kiss
pale and cold contribute to semantic field of death
kiss lost its affection (warmth)
113
analyse: A knell in mine ear
knell is funeral bell which adds to semantic field of death
pains to hear her name
reminds him of their dead relationship
114
analyse: Who knew thee too well... too deeply to tell
deep connection, too may show obsession
2nd part shows that he cant tell anyone or he wont be understood by anyone
115
analyse: in secret we met, in silence I grieve
secret affair
grieve the death of someone
silence because he cant tell anyone about his pain
juxtaposition between we and I to show them separating
anaphora highlights the chagne
116
analyse: how should I greet thee? - with silence and tears
dash to create pause and emphasis on the last line
end is the same as beginning to reflect cyclical structure showing that even after they meet again, nothing is going to change and he hasn't moved on from before.
117
analyse: all things by law divine / in one another's being mingle
meant to be together
man & woman must be together to reproduce, which is the rule of nature
law divine = religious obligation
mingle = sexual
118
analyse: why not I with thine?
rhetorical
provokes thought
longing
possible rejection
shortened line for emphasis
119
analyse: no sister-flower would be forgiven / if it disdain'd its brother
don't go against the natural order of things
manipulative
unnatural
will be punished for not being with me
120
analyse: what are all these kissings worth / if thou kiss not me?
desire to be loved
more important than all of nature
persuasive
follow the natural order of things
121
analyse: verb choice of mingle, mix, clasp, kiss
sexual
romantic
physical, suggests he wants to be inseparable
perhaps suggests that men at the time only love with their eyes
122
analyse: the use of the semantic field of natural pairs
uses nature to persuade
creates a sense of fate and what is right
everything exists together and so should we
123
analyse: the rain set early in to-night
pathetic fallacy shows how the writer was feeling gloomy and melancholy
to-night reflects secrecy of their relationship
meeting at night may also show shame and how their love is forbidden
124
analyse: when glided in porphyria; straight / she shut the cold out and the storm
glided portray s her as perfect, graceful and angel-like
her presence brought warmth
pathetic fallacy to show writer feeling much better
warmth = affection and love
125
analyse: smooth, white shoulder
like shes made of marble
smooth and perfect like a statue
white connotes purity
126
analyse: from pride and vainer ties dissever / and give herself to me forever
vainer ties is relationship with husband and vainer suggests that it is useless
wants her to leave her husband
giver herself to me shows he treats her like a possession he wants to have
control freak
127
analyse: that moment she was mine, mine, fair
repetition of mine shows possessive, obsessive nature
controlling
fair may be admiration or fair as in just
mine is a possessive pronoun
128
analyse: and strangled her. no pain felt she / I am quite sure she felt no pain
caesura creates impact and shock for the reader
pause allows for reader to absorb what just happened
2nd part shows he cares about a her and is justifying his actions
repetition shows that he is trying to persuade himself, but reader thinks he is delusional
129
analyse: this time my shoulder bore her head, which droops upon it still
opposite position, more stereotypical, suggests this is the right way to be
creates image of corpse on the shoulder of writer while he writes the poem (gothic themes)
sinister, uncanny, psychotic
130
analyse: repetition of "it" from lines 53-55 in Porphyria's Lover
objectifying her further adds to possessive nature of writer
makes the reader realise that she is just a dead body now
131
analyse: all night long we have not stirred / and yet God has not said a word!
justifying to the reader that since God has not punished him, he didn't do anything wrong
makes reader believe he is delusional and blinded by love, obsession and his need for control
132
what does Porphyria's name symbolise?
secrecy of relationship as it is similar to how someone with porphyria cannot go into the sunlight
foreshadowing that she will not be able to see light again
133
analyse: a few leaves lay on the starving sod; / - they had fallen from an ash and were grey
sibilance brings the readers attention, starving may reflect how he is starved of love
ash is a type of tree but also has connotations of death, decay, cremation
grey shows lifelessness and also creates black and white imagery to show lack of passion and colour in their lives
134
135
analyse: the smile on your mouth was the deadest thing / alive enough to have strength to die
incomplete façade
semantic field of death
2nd part suggest inevitability and is a grim image of their relationship being on its death bed
no strength left in their love
136
analyse: a grin of bitterness swept thereby / like an ominous bird a-wing
bad omen
not bittersweet, just bitter
smiling through the pain
imagery of crow or sinister bird portraying negativity and apprehension
137
analyse: keen lessons the love deceives / and wrings with wrong
keen suggests sharp and pertinent
deceives suggests betrayal, trickery, misleading
wrings suggests twisted nature of love
138
analyse: i chose a maid / too young maybe
chose suggests she did not have a choice and introduces power dynamic
maid suggests worker, doesn't show love
too young shows she may not have been ready to marry but did not have a choice
139
analyse: farmer's bride
throughout at the poem known as the farmer's bride showing possessive nature and how she is like a commodity or object
also shows that she doesn't have her own identity
whole poem in farmer's voice reflecting how the bride doesn't have a say or voice in anything
140
analyse: more like a frightened fay / One night, in the fall, she runned away
described as small to signify vulnerable, weak, prey-like
alliteration for emphasis
fall like leaves 'running' away from the trees
runned suggests that farmer is uneducated and hence doesn't respect women
141
analyse: we chased her, flying like a hare
predators hunting prey
hunted like a hare, desperately trying to escape
provokes sympathy
continued semantic field
142
analyse: turned the key upon her, fast
connotes prison and captivity
critique the power of the farmer
sympathetic to the powerless bride
143
analyse: 'not near, not near!' her eyes beseech
not actually speaking but her eyes are conveying the emotion
beseech shows how she's powerlessly begging
shows her fear and pure emotion
repetition for emphasis
144
analyse: the soft young down of her, the brown, the brown of her - her eyes, her hair, her hair!
sexual admiration
detailed description suggests longing
down means feather - animal imagery
fixated on physical appearance perhaps showing how shallow his love is
145
analyse: his shoulders globed like a full sail strung
sail of ship guides and powers the ship, setting its path
broad shoulders suggests carrying responsibility and burden
globed has relations to Atlas - a titan in greek mythology - who had to hold up the heaven and earth
nautical imagery
146
analyse: "an expert." "the sod rolled over without breaking"
admiration
caesura to emphasise admiration and show sureness. Short syntax shows that it is a fact; an irrevocable truth
doing his job perfectly
experienced, skilled, professional, close association with nature
147
analyse: i stumbled in his hob-nailed wake
stumbled suggests difficulty, l less confident and uncertain
shows him struggling to meet his dad's level
wake is more nautical imagery and suggests that the choppy water reflects how he finds it hard to follow in his fathers lead
148
analyse: sometimes he rode me on his back
connection
strong, caring father
lifting him up symbolises helping him grow and supporting him
149
analyse: all i ever did was follow / in his broad shadow
never managed to take over
admiration
cant live up to father; overshadowed
150
analyse: but today it is my father who keeps stumbling / behind me and will not go away
time shift to show contrast
now son is caring for father showing inevitable change and shift of responsibility
will not go away may be talking about father's influence
151
analyse: your polka-dot dress blows round your legs. Marilyn.
likens mother to marilyn monroe: beautiful but destined to downfall
caesura for emphasis and extra impact
152
