 Re: can you check my critical essay on the poem the highayman please
Actually if you read the poem properly I think you'll find that Bess killed herself to warm her lover not to come any closer -
"Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
Her musket shattered the moonlight,
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him--with her death."
The essay is a really good summary of what Noyes was trying to achieve in his poem, it identifies the key themes, writing techniques and language used. I hope you do/did well! |
