Swinburne/The Sundew
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page essay/research paper that offers an explication of Victorian poet A.C. Swinburne's poem "The Sundew." Drawing heavily on an article by J. Smith (2003), the writer argues that Swinburne used this small carnivorous plant to establish a view of nature that was at odds with the climate of the Victorian age, which sought to explain anything and everything through scientific analysis. The sundew is presented as holy because it is a part of nature. Yet, inscrutable and mysterious, Swinburne presents the plant as neither wholly good nor evil, but simply part of a greater cycle of life and death that human beings work diligently to ignore. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Sylvia Plath, Mirror & Metaphors
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page research paper/essay that discusses 2 poems by Sylvia Plath, who was born in 1932 to Aurelia and Otto Plath in Boston, Massachusetts and died in 1963 by her own hand, committing suicide just a few months after her thirtieth birthday (Inness 10-13). Talented, young, beautiful, with two small children—despite the depression caused a separation from her husband--Plath’s suicide remains an enigma that critics draw upon when facing the task of deciphering the meaning of her poetry and her life. Looking specifically at two of her poems, “Metaphors,” which is dated March 20, 1959 and “Mirror,” which is dated October 23, 1961, it is possible to discern something of the disintegration of Plath’s mindset between writing these two works. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Sylvia Plath/'Mirror'
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes Sylvia Plath's poem 'Mirror.' The writer argues that in this poem, Plath created a narrative voice that perfectly expresses the sense of panic that women frequently feel at the prospect of aging. Through her use of tone, situation, and imagery, she expresses how the societal evaluation of women makes them feel trapped in a cycle that offers no escape, no recourse, from an ever-diminishing feeling of self-worth. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Sylvia Plath/Daddy
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes the meaning behind Sylvia Plath's poem "Daddy." The writer points out that throughout the poem, images of men jumble together, some of her father, some of her ex-husband, some that present attempts by Plath to understand her father through his Germanic background. Collectively, along with the intentionally schoolgirl-like rhymes, the poem conveys the black desperation of a lost little girl, which definitely was Plath's psychic state at that time. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
