The Highwayman man is a narrative poem written by Alfred Noyes and the theme is Jealousy can resolve to bad things.”Where Tim the ostler listened. His face was white and peaked. his eyes were hollowed of madness. His hair like a moldy hay but he loved the landlord's daughter [line 20-22]”.This is important because it shows Tim listening to Bess and the highwayman's conversations.This is also important because it says in the text that Tim loves Bess as well as the highwayman and Tim told the guards where the highwayman would be.”They gagged his daughter and bound her to the foot of her narrow bed ...They had a bound musket beside her [line 44-50].This is important because the theme jealousy can resolve to bad things is shown in the text.The

    Analysis Of The Poem Hand-Me-Downs By Sarah Kay

    The author uses conflict to show that the individual could not solve what he is trying to solve. In this poem, the character “wears” this anger, which had been passed down from generations, dating back to his early ancestors. But, near the end of the story the poet shows that his “grandfather suffered just as many broken windows, broken hearts, broken bones?” (Kay 42-44). This shows that the main character’s anger is from his ancestors,…

    Life in Ireland & Typhoid Fever

    There are several similarities to the poem about the highwayman and the story of Patricia and Frankie. In "The Highwayman" Bess, the landlord’s daughter was not allowed to talk to the highway man because of her father. This is similar to "Typhoid Fever" because Frank and Patricia were not allowed to talk to each other because the nuns and nurses wouldn't allow it because of their diseases. Another similarity is that Bess dies in “The Highwayman” and Patricia dies in “Typhoid Fever”. It also seemed as if Frank was falling in love with Patricia, like how the thief had fallen in love with Bess. In "Typhoid Fever" Frank stated, “I’d love to do that myself, come by moonlight for Patricia in the next room not giving a hoot though hell should bar the way.” My inference of this line was that Frank felt that his relationship with Patricia was similar to the thief’s relationship with Bess.…
