This poem is figurative and emotional as it is unique. This poem’s ideas are very unique in its sense of being feminist, most texts describe the creation as of man being created first but this one doesn’t. This is what makes this poem so emotional yet figurative. The poem is like most religious or mythical poems which describe god having a humane form or body.
The poem describes how god created women and how beautiful they are. Although it is based on women he also describes men as being imperfect which is essentially true. Overall it seems the author is more focused on god and what he is doing than humans. This poem is feminist because it says that women were created first but it does refer to God as a “he” which means the author also has a male bias. The author also refers to wisdom and happiness in a idiomatic way. These emotions seem to be liquid from cups like water . God told women to drink from one if you forget happiness and the other to understand happiness. Quite confusing but it does have a deep meaning.
This is a great poem because it shows a different point of view from the religious or fictional poems. This poem should be a classic, it really shows great point of view and has great descriptive writing like “And the God bestowed upon her a love that would desert he forever upon her first sigh of earthly satisfaction, and a sweetness that would vanish with her first awareness of flattery.”. This poem has been published a long time ago maybe 100 years which would have made it a classic since great poems tend to become classics after this time like Romeo and Juliet. This poem isn’t going to become a classic and it isn’t classic because it both potential and credencials.
