[SOLVED] Analyzing a Poem using Critical Theory

Write an essay on the poem where you analyze its language and images, using your chosen school of literary criticism (feminist)  in order to interpret the poem’s overall meaning. Remember to include your word count at the end of your essay, and also a Works Cited page that cites your poem, plus at least one credible outside source to support/explain your interpretation.  Reminders: Use your chosen literary theory (feminist) to analyze the poem to explain what the poem “means.” Use examples from the text to convincingly support the claims you’re making. When quoting extensively, take time to explain the specific parts in the quote that prove your point. Avoid simply offering a summary or restating of each line, but analyze and discuss the words/lines with a purpose. Use the present tense when describing or discussing events in the poem. In writing about literature, the convention is to always use the present tense throughout. The idea is that the poet is currently communicating thoughts to you in the present time. Ensure you have correctly spelled all names and titles. Put the name of the poem in double-quotation marks.  When referring to the poet, write out his/her full name (and later references can be last name only). Don’t confuse the poet with the speaker of the poem – they are different. Remember to put quotation marks at the beginning and end of each quoted part.
