A Comparison of the two poems "Marriage" by Gregory Corso and "The Long Marriage" by Maxine Kumin
|
|
|
Marriage and The Long Marriage “Marriage” by Gregory Corso and “The Long Marriage” by Maxine Kumin are two poems that obviously focus on the graceful ceremony of marriage. They both have many things alike and different concerning the wedding ceremony. Even though Corso’s view is more satirical, they both mainly center on their own personal marriage experiences, or lack thereof. These two poems themes are different although they are based on the same process. The differences in the two poems are extremely noticeable. First, “Marriage” by Corso is a lot longer and preaches more to the reader like a sermon. He goes in to great details about the pain marriage will bring him and the reasons he would never want to get married. His example of meeting the parents and talking to the in-laws shows that Corso’s view of marriage is more repulsive and revolting.
