Moreover the use of the word ‘But’ prevents her from confessing too much. Change ). I went mad for the sex. or looking at playgrounds, fairgrounds. In hindsight, my Nan probably shouldn’t have told a nine-year old about the Moors Murders, and if she had, maybe she should have omitted certain aspects of the story. 1. Stating that these words ‘crawl from the walls’ could once again instigate madness of some sort but the structure of this sentence deems this to be untrue. I will finally tell. I was afraid of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady; the Moors Murderers, whose killing spree in the 1960s terrified me. Fancied himself. The first verse is ten lines long each line implying to a way of execution: ‘If I’d been stoned to death’.
In the last line of the first stanza the word choice; ‘Suffer. Dirt . ’ Sums up the reaction of the public and the media. The overall impression of Hindley in ‘Dirt’ is somewhat challenging. The structure of this poem has changed, as it has increased from three stanzas in poem one to four stanzas in poem two. The title ‘Dirt’ can be analysed as referring to how Brady and Hindley were portrayed in the media and what kind of monsters they were. Dying inside.
Duffy is best known for writing love poems that often take the form of monologues. not like that.
The first line implies that day to day people that we relate to could potentially be dangerous to our wellbeing, and have the potential to even commit crimes such as killing. If I’d been hung by the neck He put two fags in his mouth and lit them both. One meaning could possibly be that she doesn’t want to reveal intimate details about their sexual relationship or that she doesn’t want to reveal any details about the crimes they committed. It was either the woods ( Log Out / ( Log Out / On one side it could mean that she was howling through remorse, but on the other it could be a sign of madness. If the Devil was gone then how could this be hell? In the third stanza, the opening line is ‘I went mad for the sex’.
He entered me. The title ‘Medusa’ has the meaning ruler or queen. This makes him appear cold and unnerving. I never not in a million years it was him. a shrink where’s my MP send him to me. I flew in my chains over the wood where we’d buried It’s pretty hard to admit that you’re interested in two serial killers, without being seen as a psycho or a potential serial killer yourself. The last two lines of this poem repeat this statement ‘not in the room’ but then turning it round to ‘can’t remember no idea’. This poem is shorter than the others and could be seen as evidence of a breakdown, but the rhyming scheme is cleverly constructed. These figures can be her way to manipulate the public and launch an appeal. Get me a Bible honestly promise you swear. The constant use of negative words repeated through the poem and portrays the realisation of what life in prison is really like. The overall title of the five individual poems – ‘The Devil’s Wife’ – portrays that the adopted persona hasn’t, as of yet come to terms and accepted the monstrosity of her actions. The repetition on ‘I’ is an eventual perception of guilt.
In stanza three, Duffy once again uses the repetition of ‘I’ which seems to imply a lack of control in her speech patterns. Send me a TV crew send me a journalist. So I did; I watched documentaries and read books on this period in history, to get a better understanding of how two people could be so evil.

Can’t remember no idea it was him it was him. ’ Hindley finally starts to accept how her monstrous crimes affected society.

The ultimate reason for this was the fact that women are the gender that nurture and care for children, but instead Hindley took part in a remorseless act that shocked the public. in the rain. In addition, the rest of the poem portrays a cold and emotionally detached persona, which in stanza two ‘gave as good as [she] got’ and by the end is ‘nobody’s Mam’ – presenting to emotional attachment towards her younger victims. Send me in google for: If I’d been stoned to death I swooned in my soul. If my peroxide head on the block But Hindley’s punishment, of life in prison, could be seen as the most effective as it forced Hindley to face up to her actions and the public’s view of her.
Duffy really gives Myra Hindley a voice in this poem, and it’s pretty chilling stuff. I know it was me who was there.
The poem itself is called appealed which is slightly contradictory as criminals tend to appeal to prove their innocence, but it appears here that Hindley is begging to be killed. A plus Miss Duffy and a thank you to you for bringing this poem to my attention. One of her veins produced blood with remarkable healing properties – powerful enough to raise the dead. But I find that when you’re scared of something, you want to find out more about it. This is why Brady and Hindley were deemed as interchangeable with Devil himself and his Wife, in this dramatic monologue. What if they came to find me?

Duffy then makes it plainly obvious that Hindley from here on cannot hide from her responsibility as she states that she was ‘alone’. ‘The Devil’s Wife’ ‘The Devil’s Wife’ is a dramatic monologue that is spilt into five parts depicting the thoughts and feelings of Duffy’s adopted persona – Myra Hindley the infamous Moors murderer.
