Lesson outcome
I can compare how Browning, Rossetti, and Kay present ideas of love in ‘Sonnet 29’, ‘Cousin Kate’, and ‘Dusting the Phone’.
Show transcript
Browning, Rossetti and Kay all arguably depict an obsessive, all-consuming idea of love.
Browning, Rossetti and Kay all potentially suggest how women’s lives are influenced by their relationships.
However, the way in which the women’s lives are influenced by their relationships differs in each poem.
Arguably, Browning’s ‘Sonnet 29’ presents love as natural and desired.
In contrast, Rossetti arguably depicts how shame is associated with sex and Kay implies a lack of intimacy in sex.
