William Congreve, a playwright wrote: "Heaven hath no rage, like love turned into hate , nor hell a fury, like a woman scorned. » (459 Congreve). The feeling of betrayal and enraged love, as described in Congreve's powerful words, is consistent between Sylvia Plath's "Mad Girl's Love Song" and Julie Sheehan's "Hate Poem." The similarities that coexist between the two poems are: theme, imagery and repetition. Love can be beautiful and bright, it can also be dark and depressing, as the writings of Plath and Sheehan attest. Love filled with hate and other powerful, mixed emotions coincide in the theme of Sylvia Plath's two texts, "Mad Girl's Love Song." , and “Poem of Hate” by Julie Sheehan. Plath's title, "Mad Girl's Love Song," suggests that the work is about an angry and heartbroken teenage girl. The title's message involves raging feelings of revenge, remorse, and hatred after a heartbreaking breakup. As the story of the poem unfolds, a woman's immense pain surfaces. The subject of the poem expresses a specific event: “I close my eyes and the whole world drops dead. / I dreamed that you bewitched me in my bed / And you sang to me struck by the moon, you kissed me quite crazy” (Plath). The first line of the quote points toward the impending outcome that would forever change his personal outlook on life: “I dreamed that you bewitched me in bed”; loss of virginity. No matter female or male, an individual's virginity is a valuable and valuable aspect of human life. From this passage, the reader can assume that Plath was deceived, as the word “bewitched” indicates, into giving away her innocence to a man who did not deserve it. Feeling broken and unfaithful, she wishes: “I should rather have loved a thunderbird; / At least when spring comes, they're middle of paper... his significant other. With specific details, hatred enters the equation, for the woman, even the subtlety of a keychain sends a message of broken love and impenetrable hatred. Hatred is a primary emotion of a manifestation of anger. Hatred of love can be cruel, perverse, deceptive, even heartbreaking. Poets Sylvia Plath and Julie Sheehan depict the consequences of love's deception by creating works involving themes, images, and repetition to prove that love is not fair game.
