Edward

"O I have killed my father dear, Mother, Mother, O I have killed my father dear, Alas, and woe is me, O!"

What I love about this poem is that it's unconventional. I did not expect anything that was gonig to happen in the poem. My favorite part is that it has two climaxes that were unexpected. I did not expect him to kill his father. I also didn't understand at the end that his mother commanded him to. After rereading it a couple times, I finally inferred that the mother just wanted to reap the rewards. This poem was so unconventional because it was so dark and unexpected. Poems we've read in class don't have this much interesting drama!
