Duffy presents her idea of good and bad of love by relating it to a Greek mythology. On the other hand Rossetti and Armitage presents their idea of good and bad of love by putting in language features such as personification, metaphors, enjambment and alliteration.

as pieces of thought-provoking, and personal literature, how well do both of these poems convey the true thoughts and feelings of either poet.

It consists of four quartets, with an ABAB rhyme scheme, the poem is almost written like a “Song of Experience”, which is heavily contrasted by the dark theme that is prevalent in the poem.
