Similarities and Differences in the Two Poems, Cousin Kate and The Sedu

The two narrative poems, first cousin Kate and The Seduction affirm a number of similarities between them, such as the poems are twain based on love and the misuse of women. However, the two poems are also very different in some styles. For instance, the reactions to love vary in the poems. cousin Kate was set in the 1860s and The Seduction was set in the 1970s, therefore, the poems are set one hundred years apart from each other. It is due to this that they have many differences between them. The difference in time contri exactlyes to the language that the poems have been written in. The two poems are also set in different areas. Cousin Kate is set in the rural countryside, and The Seduction is set in an urban area. An example of a difference is the way their emotions and views on love are presented. For the causation that the poems are set in different centuries, people thought of love differently, they did have the same morals or reactions to the pregnancies.Cousin Kate was w ritten by a female poet called Christina Rossetti. The poem is divided into six stanzas. It consists of an abcb rhyming scheme. For instance, the poet has rhymed air and fair. The rhyming of the words allows the poem to be read fluently and in a rhythmic pattern. The poem could be sing-songed to seem more interesting to listen to.This poem consists of terzetto main characters the Cottage first, Cousin Kate and the Great Lord. The three characters have three very diverse personalities in the poem. The poem is written in the first person, from the Cottage Maidens point of view, therefore, she is describing her feelings throughout the poem. On the other hand, you can only observe Cousin Kate and the Great Lord through the Cottage Maidens eyes and conseq... ...to live.Ultimately, as well as having their differences, the poems are very alike. They both have the same moods throughout the poem anger, sadness and betrayal. The themes are also comparable betrayal, respect, pain and lov e. However, they are different because of the way the poems have been written. The Seduction is more like a story, going through the different stages in her life. Whereas, Cousin Kate could be seen like a diary, the Cottage Maiden is talking about her feelings and emotions about different aspects of her life. I think that both of the poems succeed in what the poet set out to do. In Cousin Kate I undergo the emotions the Cottage Maiden encountered. In The Seduction I saw how inconsequential the girls life was to the boy. She was not ready to be a woman, but she had no choice. I felt the loneliness and betrayal she experienced.
