Comparison

Cousin Kate is a pity-full and sympathetic poem.

Cousin Kate makes me feel sorry for the main character because of the language she uses like " Now I moan, an unclean thing, who might have been a dove ".

The Poem “The Seduction” is a sympathetic poem, but you feel that the girl is a bit stupid.

The poem The Seduction makes me want to tell the girl how silly she was to do what she did when she was drunk and not to realise how untrue the boy’s intentions were. It is hinted at that the two only met on the night of the party because there is no name given, no history given and the girl would have been shown where the boy went when he skipped school before that.

What happened that night...
