    Who thought to use this poem for GCSE students like obv we have knowledge of such things but still. I find it quite disturbing 🤔😕

    Hey there , my personal opinion of this poem is that he feels so guilty about this sexual act not because it restricted, but because he had it with a man, as sexual acts were okay before the Victorian era but lgbt was not permitted at all therefore he makes it seem obvious that its a woman and the losing of virginity with a woman so his sexual act with a man (from the description of the huge peak that he saw) would not be found out therefore thats y he feels extremely guilty. However incest is quite clear too

    This is exactly how I interpreted this poem to begin with, without all the historical context though. Very interesting dual interpretation, reminds me of Poppies.

    Good interpretation..but how would this fit in with the question? For exanple, the question could ask for the power of nature, but how would this be relevent?

    • @MrSallesTeachesEnglish
      @MrSallesTeachesEnglish  Před 6 lety +33

      JLH_UK Nature is to be worshipped, through pantheism and romanticism. Prohibition against sex outside marriage would therefore be seen as a product of the church and social convention, going against what is natural, which romanticism tries to change.

      Couldn’t it be internal conflict between societal pressure - for example, religion and our duty to suppress unholy feelings - and what the mind actually wants. Sort of like a psychomachia, when the soul and the brain want different things, which would explain why the message is kind of hidden within the poem. Idk though
