To My Dear Loving Husband By Anne Bradstreet
The poem that I decided to write from Anne Bradstreet is called “To my Dear Loving Husband”. I love the thought of love; I love the meaning of love. Love to me is a feeling that each individual feels. I connected to this poem because after reading a few lines I understood with what the author was trying to portray. The first line grasped my attention, Anne said “If ever two were one, then surely we”. To me that’s what love is. Being able to meet someone and fall deeply in love to the point where if it were possible for two people to be considered one then we would be a perfect match. I loved how the author compared herself to a wife who were happy to man, then that is she. You can tell she is deeply in love with husband. No river can quench

    Huswifery and to My Dear and Loving Husband

    Bradstreet on the other hand uses metaphors and rhythm scheme to restate her love for her husband and emphasize that love is unconditional and undying. Bradstreet in To My Dear and Loving Husband, uses nature as a primary metaphor in her epistle. The use of rivers as an example that a women as a wife could never have another man take away the love of her husband. Another example is her metaphor of the mines and gold, presenting that she loves him more than material wealth. Bradstreet’s emphasis of metaphors become exaggerated showing the large amount of love Bradstreet has for her husband. Bradstreet also uses rhyme scheme to over exaggerate her love toward her husband. Bradstreet uses couplets to show the unity of her and her husbands relationship…

    "love through the ages" discusses the differences and similarities between the 2 poems "Love is not all" (by Edna St. Vincent Millay) & "To my dear and loving husband" (by Amm Bradstreet).

    "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Love is not all" are different in their content and meaning. Although both of the poets are exploring the relationship between love and death, they come to different results at the end of their work. Bradstreet finds her love for her husband so worthy when she says, "I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold"(l.5). On the other hand Millay thinks that she "might be driven to sell [his] love for peace,"(l.12). One can notice a contrast in tone between the two poems. Bradstreet's tone is spiritual, while Millay's tone is playful. There is one paradox in each of the poems. In "To My Dear and Loving Husband", Bradstreet explains that people who are no longer alive on earth can be alive forever in heaven. She says, "that when we live no more, we may live ever"(l.12). Millay explains that love can't save lives but people can die without it. This paradox is spread in the first six lines of the poem. Although these poems are written in different time periods, they have many similarities considering their content and meaning.…

    Comparing 'A River-Merchant's Lover And To The Ladies'

    Marriage is an incredible bond between two people who have chosen to love each other for not only their perfections but also all for their imperfections. Love is a choose and marriage should also be a choose, but love is also a feeling and two people should feel that together they can become one. Marriage is meant to last forever, not just until one is tired of trying. The poems in the chapter describe different types and stages of love and marriage. “How Do I Love Thee,” “The Tally Stick,” and “To My Dear and Loving Husband” are the poems that reinforce how a marriage should be. On the other hand “A River-Merchant’s Wife: A Letter” and “To the Ladies” are poems that challenge the way a marriage should be.…

    Love 2.0 By Barbara Fredrickson

    Leslie Bell’s “Hard to Get”, Barbara Fredrickson’s “Love 2.0”, and Daniel Gilbert’s “Immune to Reality” all focus on a central theme of the unconscious while touching on the subject uniquely. Bell touches on the subject of the unconscious through the idea of splitting, Fredrickson focuses on the unconscious in terms of the body’s perspective on love, and Gilbert expresses his views on the unconscious through his idea of “cooking the facts (Gilbert 131).” Each author expresses the importance of the unconscious thought and the influence it can have on our interactions and behaviors, and to what degree. Fredrickson believes making the unconscious conscious in more positively influential, whereas Bell and Gilbert believe making the unconscious…

    Valentine by Carol Anne Duffy

    ‘Valentine’ is a controversial love poem written by Carol Ann Duffy. Throughout the poem the poetess compares love to an onion and she does that by using a variety of techniques such as imagery, symbolism, word choice and structure. All these techniques justify why Valentine is an unusual love-poem as they help the poet express her different point of view. Overall, the poem is unusual as its title mistakenly leads the reader into thinking that the poem will be typical. I felt deeply moved by the poem’s s ability to arise thoughtfulness and reflexion in the reader.…

    Love 2.0 By Barbara Fredrickson

    In today’s society when we hear the word “freedom”, we primarily relate it with national freedom. The United States Constitution sheds light on most of our primary freedoms. With the prioritization of all these other kinds of freedoms, the idea of sexual freedom is oftentimes neglected. Leslie Bell, in her “Hard to Get” mentions the word “freedom” quite vaguely and frequently. This is important because sexual freedom in today’s society is confined in a structure of norms set by the society on how women should talk, act, behave, etc.…

    Anne Bradstreet's To My Dear And Loving Husband

    She loved him unconditionally and was as fulfilled as any woman could have ever been. This poem confirmed to me that she would have done anything and everything for her husband. It seems to me that she felt she could not love him enough. It is remarkable to see that couples in the earlier centuries truly loved each other and supported one another, seeing as the majority of the time the marriages were rearranged due to social and economic obligation rather than love.…

    Medically Assisted Suicide

    Medically assisted suicide is an event in which a physician honors a patient’s request for a lethal dose of medication. It has become a very emotional and controversial issue for many in the United States. The only state legally allowing medically assisted suicide is Oregon since 1997. Although some feel it is unethical and morally wrong, medically assisted suicide should be legalized to patients who are terminally ill because it would relieve them from constant and unbearable physical and psychological pain in a respectable and painless way.…
