The poem “Creep” has a very dark‚ twisted and displaced feel to it and crates an image of a “psychotic” person obsessing and wanting control over a certain person.

This indicates that one of the characters wants control and will do anything to achieve it‚ even if violence actions are needed. This feeling of dark and twistedness is present throughout the whole poem. This gives the poem an overall

A Fairy Song Over hill‚ over dale‚ Thorough bush‚ thorough brier‚ Over park‚ over pale‚ Thorough flood‚ thorough fire! I do wander everywhere‚ Swifter than the moon’s sphere; And I serve the Fairy Queen‚ To dew her orbs upon the green; The cowslips tall her pensioners be; In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies‚ fairy favours; In those freckles live their savours; I must go seek some dewdrops here‚ And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.
