The following is a short sample from this piece of coursework:
... cottage maiden. Also the way the neighbours react to a pregnancy out of wedlock, nowadays this is quite common. The narrator was "not mindful [she] was fair." This is an old way of saying she did not know she was pretty, whereas the girl in "The Seduction" went out of her way the make herself look beautiful. This is also a difference between the attitudes of Victorian girls and girls of the 20th Century. The expression "little slag" used in "The Seduction" is also very common for its era, whereas the curse words in the era of "Cousin Kate" would be less abusive and harsh. A peculiar rhyme scheme is used in "Cousin Kate". Every other line in each stanza rhymes, whereas the rhyme scheme in "The Seduction" is not bound to a rule. In some stanzas, the second and forth lines rhyme, but in others, the first, third and fourth lines rhyme. The setting of the poems also shows the reader the time the poem was set. "Cousin Kate" lived in a cottage and worked "among the rye". "The Seduction" is set at a friends party and also by "The Mersey, green as a septic wound." The filth and dirt of the location mirrors the way the boy treats her and the way the girl feels afterwards. Things about at the two poems which are no different despite the gap of nearly a century and a half between them are the position the girls are in. They are both either pregnant or have a baby, both of the fathers do not love the girls. The girls both loved the males at the time although in someway regret what they did. There are boy problems involved even though the men in the poems were of a different class; in 'Cousin Kate' the man was a very upper class lord whereas the man in 'The seduction' was working class 'He spat into the river, fumbled in a bag'
