I am happy he lives as I am dead

After Death
I think that this is a dramatic poem, it is sad full of despair but it should be, it is about death. Death is never a happy subject, with that in mind it was a morbid read. I think it is on the edge of being Gothic. After Death was easy to understand, but sad; some words rhymed but no pattern, there were no big vocabulary words, and no guessing what the writer meant. I see this poem as the speaker talking to a man that visits a woman's death bed. The only wonder is who is the man. Could it be one of her Two failed relationships that ended in refusal to marry because of there Christan beliefs or lack there of, but they can not be because she said he did not love her when she was alive. The reason why the speaker is pleased because I believe the man is still alive even though she is dead. I wanted to write on is Christina Rossetti a feminist or a writer of religious beliefs, the auto biography in one and one half pages does not make it clear. She never married she had a strong religious belief, stayed with her family, had some friends did not get out that much, stopped playing chess because she was to competitive, stopped going to plays for the vulgarity. One biography said that she was sexually abused by her Father, suffered from depression, and in latter years in life volunteered at a woman's prison, and add Two men she refused to marry. It could be religious or feminist
