Compare how women are presented in 4 of the poems you have studied. To do this compare “Mother...” by Simon Armitage and 3 other poems, one by Duffy and two from the pre 1914 bank.
All 4 poems ( Mother, Anne Hathaway, Sonnet 130 and song of the old mother) are all linked to each other all by using different techniques of language to present women and to create some story in there poem.

He is getting older and therefore does not need his mother in his life. However, the mother finds it hard to take in this news and struggles to let go of her son.
