... Compare and contrast Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath's use of language and imagery in their poems 'Roe Deer', 'Mirror' and 'Blackberrying' In this essay my aim is to compare the three poems 'Blackberrying' and 'Mirror' by Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes' 'Roe Deer'. I will mainly be focusing on the poets' use of language and imagery in the poems. In addition to this I will discuss how they transform the ordinary into quite magical objects and surroundings. The first thing that stands out from all the poems is the fact that none of the three use any rhyme scheme, I think that this is because a rhyme scheme would ruin the effect of the poems. A regular rhyme scheme would alter the pace of the poems, as these are very deep and reflective poems. The stanzaic structure of the poems is quite similar in 'Blackberrying' and 'Mirror' both have regular stanzaic
