Anne Hathaway

"Anne Hathaway" is a poem which essentially demonstrates a true, romanticised and idealised form of love which is in stark contrast to the relationships in many of the other poems. Duffy uses language as a metaphor for love ("assonance", "verb" etc.) and there is a sense that the love is both sexual yet ethereal.

Duffy writes the poem as a mock sonnett which obviously draws attention to the final rhyming couplet.
