Explain the way in which Duffy presents the strengths and limitationsof linguistic process in devil poems.When drawing from both Warming Her Pearls and Selling Manhattan ,it is evident that Carol Anne Duffy maintains a certain daringapproach to the vast array of possibilities that language presents.She acutely exposes the equivocalness that language holds in its meanings,presenting the reader with endless connotations to consider. Duffyalso draws attention to its inability to amply express the extent ofhuman emotions.Both of the above stated poems rivet on societal and culturalstratification, with Duffys use of language carefully intentional toemphasise the distance between different social groups. SellingManhattan being a dramatic monologue, articulates the thoughts of theDutch settler, Peter Minuit, who is reputed to have bought Manhattanfrom the North American Indians, for 24 dollars worth ofglass beads, in 1626. A strong division and stemma exists when thisis compared to the feelings of an indigenous North American Indian.Duffy uses language to demonstrate this contrast. In Minuits glee, hestates I got my egotism a bargain. This heavily exhibits his rapacious spot and his inability to consider the terms to others that hisactions create. The value that he places on money is also shown. Thisis a keystone theme to the entire section, also entitled SellingManhattan, with Duffy fiercely criticising the capitalist attitude toeconomics. Duffys use of language with the words I and myself inMinuits stanza draws attention to just how self absorbed the Dutchmanreally is.When the reader is first introduced to the Indian a equation isautomatically made. The first line i... ...uses on intimate detail. It could also stock-stillbe interpreted as being the result of an obscene and defectiveobsession. When considering that this poem is not based upon a unexampled ordination, holding modern values that are now far more accepting towardshomosexuality, the ambig uity in the depth of this line creates ahindrance to any beneficence that a reader may feel. A reader may intromit ona similar attitude to that which is evident in the society thatWarming Her Pearls describes, perceiving an iniquitous abnormality.Additionally, as this possibility exists that her seeming love is in particular an obsession, the reader has no choice but to question theirbelief in her affections. The influence and energy of this poem istherefore abridged by this ambiguity, imputable to the lack of absolutemeaning in language, as illustrated by the French philosopher, JacquesDerrida.
