Comparison between the poems "Love" by George Hilbert and "Valentine" by Carol Ann Duffy

I am going to talk about two different kinds of love: mature love and religious love. I will compare Love (III) by George Hilbert (religious) and Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy (mature) and show the contrasts and trends in both. These two poems have distinct meanings, as one of them relates to religion and Jesus' love for us. It portrays the Last Supper, and the author attempts to create greater intimacy and identification between God …

…fervency of emotions mixed with her doubts, what we feel when in love. Love (III) is an unconventional religious love poem, which personifies God into a person called love and creates a dialogue between Love and the narrator. It portrays the Last Supper and in essence shows Jesus' love for us, and his eagerness to die in our place. Valentine is about romantic love and all our fears and desires when we are in love.
