This poem is very deep. Kees is describing in the poem on how she dispises and hates the daughter. She also describes in the first few lines on what a liar the daughter is, "Looking into my daughters eyes i read beneath the innocence of morning flesh". This stanza proves that Kees knows she is lying. In the last Line it says " i have no daughter, I desire none". Im guessing Weldon wished she never had a daughter.
How do you know the speaker in Weldon Kees' poem is a woman? Which line indicates that the speaker hates the daughter? Continue reading, as just because a line ends, this does not mean that is the end of the idea; follow the punctuation. What does the speaker see in the daughter's eyes? How does this compare to the other two poems?
ReplyDeletethats the thing that i am confused on. is the speaker a woman or a man?
ReplyDeleteare there any clues to support that the speaker is a woman or a man? is it necessary to know the gender of the speaker to understand this poem, or can we simply leave it at that the speaker is a parent?
