Read the notes I gave out and answer the question below for Wed 1st
Feb 2012 please:
'With the poem 'The Devil's Wife', Carol Ann Duffy attempts to make
her reader readress their views on the nature of evil.' How far do you
agree with this statement?
Refer to
-how the poem identifies and explores the notion of female evil
- in what ways Duffy might be using biblical references to offer her
reader a different perspective on a patriarchial world
- whether the poem is more successful in its aims because it uses such
a notorious real life character
- in what ways this is a poem about relationships as well as evil
- how does Duffy use poetic form and structure, repetition and double
meanings to convey her ideas about the nature of evil and our
responses to it?
