She knows he prevents her from growing as a human being, but she cannot find the will to leave him. In Dorianne Laux’s “Facts About the Moon,” the author compares the Earth’s weakening gravitational pull on the Moon to the control a mother loses towards her disrespectful son whom she still loves.…

There are a lot more similarities between the two poems, but the most evident among these is that both of them share a happy and a passionate marriage.…

    To look into a cursed mirror, is to be strangled by your own hair. Wait a minute that's not right but that's that's that's far from the same thing. With the two poems I am speaking of, Porphyria's Lover written by Robert Browning and Lady of Shalott written by Lord Tennyson, are the same in his many ways as they are different. This is like comparing two great works of art the Mona Lisa and the Starry Night both have beauty in their own ways.…
