Jesse Cameron

Jesse Cameron is poem which focuses on entrapment and uses descriptions and pathetic fallacy to increase the reader's understanding of the emotions conveyed by Jesse and the man who is proposing to her. The poem foreshadows the death of Jesse throughout and uses the mood and defiance of poem to show the end will be tragic. The sea is representative of the emotions which eventually drown them as it shows the intensity of their feelings and how stubborn Jesse was. Christina Rossetti yet again uses the theme of feminisn as she focuses on Jesse as the victim and the man essentially kills her by not giving in continuing the 'men are evil' theme.
