Analysis and comments on Lovesong by Ted Hughes

Comment 1 of 1, added on July 20th, 2006 at 8:50 PM.

This poem leaves nothing to the imagination. Co-dependent love is not healthy. This poem made me think of the movie, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf--and the true to life strife between Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton.
The last line is a biting remark, but it is also a bit weak (in my opinion). Yes, there is an attempt to make the other person a clone, but it is because they do not succeed to the subjection that the "War of the Roses" continues. They never really wear each others faces because they just don't succeed in forcing their will on each other.
