    One strength is that so many people can relate to different parts of this poem or all the poem. I knew an individual that used to work and one day quit. He would drink and smoke all day, every day, and would sit around complaining about losing money, so this poem speaks to me. The one thing I don’t understand is if she wasn’t that happy with Alan or what he was doing, then why didn’t she say something or just leave? I understand if you love someone then you are going to want to work things out and try to make it work, but it seems as though she didn’t fully love him because she is wanting all these nice expensive things and

  • Funeral Blues And Remember Analysis

    1774 Words  | 8 Pages

    While most of the poem is spent trying to ensure that she will be remembered after she dies, the speaker realizes that keeping her memory alive must not occur at the price of another’s happiness. She does not want her beloved to be sad that she is gone, but wants him instead to understand that the afterlife and a physical existence are two separate realms, and, moreover, to rejoice in the memories of the good times they have spent together. Remember’ gives the griever permeation to move on. This may be because “Remember”, was written by the person that would soon die, unlike “Funeral Blues” which is entirely negative towards death not only forbidding themselves from moving on but also forbidding the world from moving on after the tragic passing of the loved one. This may be one of the many different attitudes the two poems have towards
