Compare the predicament of women in society as described in Cousin Essa

Compare the dilemma of women in society as described in CousinKate and The subjugation. How farther do you sympathise with them?The Seduction and Cousin Kate are similarly bear on with thepredicament of women in society.They are both poems which end up in a negative place, and arefollowing the trails of a puppyish girl, deficient to be loved, in someway. They also similarly carry the source of betrayal. In TheSeduction, the girl is betrayed by the teenage magazines promisingher the wild-eyed love apologue she always wanted and, in Cousin Kate,the young girl is betrayed by her cousin, who steals the man sheloves. These are the predicaments that both the girls have.Both poems stomach lines which question their actions, Why did agreat Lord find me come out? and For where, now, was the summer of hersixteenth year?. This shows the regret that they had in that periodin their lives, and also how betrayed they feel and the problems theyhave now of losing their childhood.Cousin K ate tells us the story of how she was seduced, used and castaway, much like The Seduction. As The Seduction begins, it uses alot of imagery to prepare the reader for what may happen. farthermost pastthe silver stream of traffic through the city, far from the concealmentwindows of the tower blocks. The blind windows portrays an imageof non assureing, and that because something bad may happen, no-one ismeant to see or hear anything. Also, when the poem refers to thegirl knocking back the vodka, it shows an chatoyant situation, Hehanded her the vodka, and she knocked it back like water.Both girls at the start of the poem are virgins but lose theirvirginity and fall pregnant. The girl in Cousin Kate, is refer... ...magazines she was reading to havesex, but there was belike push from her friends, as I know thatthere is today, and the poem was not written that far from today.Not only was there great pressure before she had sex, but the shameand feelings that she was put through fr om society was extreme, andthis, in my opinion, should not have been placed upon her. Althoughsimilar things happened in Cousin Kate, I dont think they did tothe same extent, and, at the very least, the bungalow Maiden was leftwith something to treasure and that she was proud of. Althoughabortions were not a lawful occurrence, I still think she was in abetter position to keep the baby. Whereas, in The Seduction, Ithink she would have been pressure to have an abortion, or if she hadkept the baby, she would have been under great feeling and alsofinancial difficulties.
