... I am going to analyse three poems these being "Havisham", "Hitcher" & "The man he killed". The authors, which are, Carol Ann Duffy, Simon Armitage and pre 1914 poetry. The first poem Havisham is about a lady who is left at the alter on her wedding day and she is cursing her fiancé. The woman is called Ms Havisham from the novel "great expectations", she shows hate towards him, and (she is a feminist).

The line "spinster I stink and remember" she's saying she still is wearing her wedding dress from the day of her wedding and she hasn't taken it off. This shows she is emotionally hurt and she is not letting go of the past. The last
