Literature is a vehicle that essentially provides insight to individuals about the world and society in which one lives. Authors Richard Abcarian, Marvin Klotz, & Samuel Cohen of the text book Literature: The Human Experience, (12th ed.) write, “Consider: if you love books and movies, then you know how influential they can be and you’ll probably agree that what we read makes a tremendous difference to the world we live in.

In addition, the last two lines of the poem create an almost dramatic effect by closing out the poem without

To me, her words are a beautiful representation of what a marriage should feel like. It is clear by her words in lines 5-7, “I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold/Or all the riches that the East doth hold/My love is such that rivers cannot quench” (Bradstreet, 5-7), that she has an immensely deep love for her husband, so deep that no such thing…
