Lesson outcome

I can compare ideas of love and identity in Clarke’s ‘Catrin’ and Ewing’s ‘Origin Story’.

Show transcript
Both 'Catrin' and 'Origin Story' explore the complexities of relationships and the impact of different types of love. Clarke presents love as intense and restrictive, whereas Ewing suggests that love is fragile but enduring. Both Clarke and Ewing write using a first-person perspective which shapes how their experiences are presented. Both poems use metaphor and symbolism to represent different aspects of love and perspective. The poets use structure to emphasise the different sides or stages of love and identity.
