The Sirens are known for their deadly song. As seen in both poems, the sirens are portrayed differently in each. Both poems show different tone and diction. The second poem illustrates a less eerie song of the sirens, while the first one is luring and eerie.
Sirens are creatures who lure sailors to their death with their song. Even though both poems talk about the sirens, one would be more specific and the other would be negative. The way that the poems were written affect the tone of each. The one by Atwood conveys a negative tone about the siren. It talks about how the siren doesn’t enjoy singing and being compared. However, as the poem unfolds, the sirens say it works every time. The sirens are portrayed a bit more deadly than in the first.
