Millay Vs. Shakespeare: Love, Loss and Lament
Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, and Where and Why” is an effective short poem, which feeds on the dissonance between the ideal of love and its reality, heartbreak. In William Shakespeare’s “Let Me Not to The Marriage of True Minds,” the effectiveness is weakened by its idealiality and metaphysical stereotype. In contrast to Millay, Shakespeare paints a genuine portrait of what love should be but unfortunately never really is.

Such task is indeed very difficult; however, if these students are greeted with real-life examples that support Miller’s idea then things
