Hello readers!
Hello readers!
So here I am going to wrote about the famous poet carol ann Duffy's poem Penelope. In “ Penelope " Duffy creat the female voice. Duffy presents" Penelope " as a woman who grows more independent of her husband as she casually pusses time by embroidering.

Penelope
Duffy subwords the male dominance of this tale of odyssey by showing unlike in the original myth, Penelope grows accustomed Odysseus absence and embroidery becomes the local point of her life. In her collection "worlds wife" Duffy makes women the protagonist of the stories and there for subwords the idea of weak women behind powerful man carol Duffy herself is a feminist and leftish, she is the first female poet laureate further more. She is the first openly Gay poet laureate as Duffy describes herself As "Penelope" becomes more engrossed in her embroidery. Her view on reality widens. Her life is depicted in her embroidering as she describes her.
" thimble like an acorn.
Pushing up through umber soil".
This symbolises how embroidery has become her re-brith and new found voice of independence from her husband. Duffy uses emagery to give meaning to the female voice, and the mentions of the colours show how Penelope felt during time's of her life Penelope recalls her childhood at first.
" I swed a girl
Under a single star-cords-stitch silver - silk".
This line illustrate the innocense and beauty of a young " Penelope" while waiting for her husbands return she gives the image of
" Running after childhood 's
Bouncing ball".
Than, she uses bright colours such as pinks and greens to show the hopefulness of youth, however, she also depicts a disappointing image by adding grey threads and brown, the change from silver to grey emphasizes Penelope's des
Disapointment.
In the last stanza the narrator again depicts the change of events in Penelope 's life. Here Penelope' s voice is strongest Penelope is so engrossed in her work. She is used to her life, she lives alone she feels that she does not need her husband that she herself does not need to fall back on the male domination.
Conclusion
Duffy areas the female voice in Penelope by allowing the character to grow in strength and independence through satirizing the sterio type of embroidery being associated with the weakness of women and instead she makes it a symble of strength in independence.
Thank you...
