I do not think for one bit that her analogy of “unplugging the violinist” analogy works because everyone has a right to their own body and choices‚ unless in the case of rape.

When I look closely at this poem I believe it may mean a lot mean more than just loving two people equally. The differences in how Behn writes about the two men leads me to view her passion as not referring

towards of her husband To me‚ the poem “A letter to her husband‚ Absent upon Public Employment” is a reflection of the poet’s own self.

Eliot wrote this as a reminder of how life was prior to the invasion. The change in tone from the beginning of his letter gives a clear indication that Eliot was not expecting to be robbed of the pleasures of harvest time by invading forces.
