The Farmers Bride by Charlotte Mew
Study online at https://quizlet.com/_d962vl
1. OVERALL - Dramatic monologue
- irregular rhyme
- has a bouncy meter, mostly iambic tetrameter
- irregular in that each stanza, of which there are six, are
all different lengths and the change in lengths, particularly
seen in the fourth stanza, does well to indicate that the
farmer is, himself, changing in his perception and treat-
ment of his wife.
- the rhyming often intensifies when the speaker is becom-
ing more emotionally engaged, turning the rhyme scheme
from something more varied to uniform e.g hair, stair and
brown and dowm in last stanza
2. Three summers - the hyphen shows how he quickly changes the topic,
since I chose a avoiding the disturbing element of her age and his actions
maid,
too young - summer imagery to convey fertility and structured system
maybe- but for women
there's more to
do
3. 'At harvest-time - end stopped
than bide and
woo. - natural imagery
- first 4 lines take on an enclosed rhyme scheme - empha-
sises seperation
4. harvest- time - 'harvest- time' denotes at the innocence and youth of the
bride through natural imagery
than bide and - can show his possessiveness
woo - furthermore, systematic process is revealed : grown m,
harvested and sold. In particular 'more's to do because he
is relying on her transactional value (suggested by sold)
to operate the fields and animals
