Simon Remarriage

The words damaged/fractured/punctured/ broken create impressions describing the ex-soldier physically but also referring to how these words could be used to describe the broken sack out. Therefore, it has been made clear that the love has become painful and traumatic as a consequence of war. Also, the metaphorical use Of frozen river and blown hinge reflects a war zone. The word frozen could reflect how the relationship has become still and lifeless. The narrator states that his jaw is a blown hinge, nominateing that he is no longer open to her and unable to talk f his traumatic experiences.The impression of violence is also incorporated within Quadric through a western theme showing the potency of the relationship. High noon and calamity implant the image of a standoff in the wild west. This image of the standoff is inferred to be comparable to the relationship through the painful arguing that the once desire has turned into. Duffy references hard liquor to suggest that the re lationship is reckless and has turned into something that is unhealthy also that if love goes wrong it can bring difficulties along with it. Manhunt is made up of a series of couplets.The form of the poem creates a sense of fragmentation and the stages of accomplish and search that the narrator has been through in order to find and heal their love. The series of couplets can be seen as a ladder that she is trying to climb to retrieve love once more, like the image of the broken ribs. Also, the rhyme scheme is irregular suggesting how the strength of the relationship is constantly changing. There is a face-to-face tone to this poem as much of the topics are personal and it is quite conversational, inferring the woman is liking to her husband but cannot get through due to his physical and mental damage.Similarly, Quadric is structured to reflect the love in the relationship. This poem forms a broken sonnet, showing the effects of the broken love. Duffy may have used enjambement bet ween stanzas to capture the idea of relentless pain and that she does not want to finish the sentence and the relationship. The technique of enjambment has been used to separate Im all from alone reflecting the isolation the women feels. Simon Remarriage incorporates many delicacy and care adjectives mind/hold/attend.
