Compare and contrast the ways in which the poets' choice of form, language and setting help to convey ideas about the relationships between men and women and the role of woman in societies which are depicted in the poems you have studied.
... Compare and contrast the ways in which the poets' choice of form, language and setting help to convey ideas about the relationships between men and women and the role of woman in societies which are depicted in the poems you have studied. In this essay I am going to compare four poems: 1. The Lady of Shallot - Alfred Lord Tennyson 2. My Last Duchess - Robert Browning 3. La Belle Dame Sans Merci - John Keats 4. To his Coy Mistress - Andrew Marvell The connecting theme of all the poems is that are all written about a woman in love or who is loved by someone else. With the exception of To his Coy Mistress, I would say they are all tragic poems as The Lady of Shallot and My Last Duchess end in death and La Belle Dame Sans Merci has a tragic ending too. The poems all discuss the subject of love.
