Why do you think the bride “turned afraid” after the wedding? Find evidence in the text
What will be an ideal response?
- As does the speaker in Robert Browning’s “Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister,” Mew’s farmer-narrator reveals more than he realizes. Make sure that students understand what has caused the farmer’s bride first to shrink from her husband, then run away. They can find abundant evidence in the poem. The farmer admits in the first stanza that she was “too young maybe” when he married her, and that the courtship was brief. Clearly the bride was unprepared for sex, and this wellmeaning but unromantic man scared her off. Three years after the wedding she’s still afraid—of him and of all men (lines 22–26).
