Valentine – Form/ Language The poem is written in free verse using irregular stanzas to support the content and purpose of the poem; to reject traditional restrictive conventions such as marriage and other notions of love and warn lovers that being overly possessive can have fatal undesirable consequences. While ostensibly a poem on the theme of love, Duffy deliberately avoids the use of language or imagery that we associate with this type of poetry. Instead, the words are often stark and monosyllabic to allow her to present her ideas clearly and unambiguously.

Valentine –Structure Stanza One – Duffy rejects tradition Stanza Two - Duffy offers us an alternative symbol of love Stanza Three - Duffy explores the negative aspects of love Stanza Four – Single sentence to emphasise her honesty Stanza Five – marks the second half of the poem. Structural repetition – look at line 1 –’Not’ , syllable count, rejection of two common symbols of love. Stanza Six – Duffy explores the idea that jealousy and violence can creep in and undermine love. Stanza Seven – Duffy discusses images with connotations of married life. She implies that marriage turns romantic love into a chore or a punishment.

Themes Relationships should be honest Refusal to accept relationships a simply ‘romantic’. Relationships are emotionally complex. One should be cautious in love (line 17)

Tone Cynical and distrustful Disapproving Tender Humorous Passionate Angry/ negative

Rhythm Natural feeling with the enjambment and simple conversational words. Poem feels like lover’s speech naturally addresses the listener.

Extended metaphor ‘I give you an onion.’ (metaphor) ‘It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.’ (extended) ‘It will blind you with tears’ (extended) ‘Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,’ (extended) ‘Its scent will cling to your fingers,’ (extended)

Duffy uses an onion as a metaphor for love, for example ‘it is a moon wrapped in brown paper’ this makes me think of a present because they are ‘wrapped’, which suggests that Duffy feels an onion is like a gift.
