consequently‚ contradicting the entire nature of the poem. Perhaps‚ the speaker is trying to express an idea of complete devotion to God and detachment of material possessions‚ whilst her own lines give out the nature of flawed human beings. Anne Bradstreet was a puritan‚ the majority of her poems have themes that reference the relationship with God and how imperative it is to live our lives purely and as instruments at His disposal. In this poem‚ the speaker struggles with this whole perception. Revealing

Anne Bradstreet was one of the first significant female poets of her time. Although she was England-born‚ Anne and her family were one of the first puritans to migrate to America around 1630. Because Bradstreet came from a prominent family‚ she was very well educated‚ which was an uncommon attribute for a woman of her time. She was married off at a young age to Simon Bradstreet. Because of the threat of a woman being banned or shunned by her community for expressing views/ideas‚ Anne kept her poetry

ridiculous as this all sounds‚ Bradstreet had to do this. Being raised a Puritan‚ Bradstreet‚ had a strict belief system and with that came certain rules she had to follow‚ such as‚ putting God first‚ and not having any attachments to her secular belongings. That being said‚ “Whoever dies with the most toys wins.” would clearly be a phrase that she and other puritans would disagree with. However‚ while it is a sin to show emotional attachments to your things‚ Bradstreet does just that‚ but catches herself

These poets use apostrophe and metaphors to thoroughly describe the subject in which they were writing. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” is a poem that portrays Anne Bradstreet’s thoughts on her marriage. While Bradstreet writes about her love for her husband‚ Edward Taylor writes indirectly about his love

Classmates‚ My assigned poem for this weeks discussion was "To My Dear and Loving Husband" by Anne Bradstreet. The poem is of closed form comprised of both rhythm and rhyme‚ and gives a vivid image of a woman’s bountiful and enduring love for her husband. Given the time period during which Bradstreet lived‚ and the imaginable struggles her and her family must have gone through‚ a significant other such as this would have been a Godsend. I couldn’t imagine having to go through the struggles that

Anne Bradstreet’s Poetry Anne Bradstreet was the Danica Patrick of poetry in the mid 1600’s‚ except she went unknown. She drove into the male-dominant field of poetry. In her time it was frowned upon for women to race in such an intellectual track. Bradstreet does not let the wall between the drivers and the spectators stop her‚ she pulls right up to the starting line with them. In fact‚ she uses this barrier of sexes to fuel her ideas. Anne Bradstreet writes using many different forms of figurative
