GI: Overshadowing of the Female Perspective
Mrs Lazarus
-Dramatic monologue retelling of the biblical story of Lazarus, his death and rebirth
-From the wife's point of view, twisting the narrative of the always ready and permanently attached widow
-A tragedy, as the wife grieves sincerely and then is met again with her husband after moving on and getting romantic with another man
-Metaphors used linguistically, as well as powerful wording and religious parallels
Frau Freud
-Short, comedic poem
-Mocks Freud's proposition of female Penis Envy
-Rhymed, sing-song list of penis puns and allusions
-Freud, a man, makes claims about women's desires which Duffy denies outright and implies to be ludicrous through her use of jokes
