Write a paper that contrasts
Pope’s “Elegy to an Unfortunate Lady” with the Romantic
poem “The Thorn” by William Wordsworth. Pay special attention to subject matter, poetic
style, and ease of reading. While writing your comparison, consider whether or
not the poem you have read this week is successful or unsuccessful in its
attempt to render a marginalized person as a suitable subject for poem. Use
quotations to support your argument.
***If you use any lines/quotes from either poem, please insert the line number. I will attacht the links to the two poems that the professor has provided.
I have trouble coming up with a clear theises statement and I know it is short notice but I am sick and can use all the help I can get.
