Do you agree with the following statements? Explain why in your comment, referring as closely as possible to the poems concerned.
1: "In "Mrs Quasimodo", Duffy doesn't do women any favours. She portrays them as bitter, shallow and complying with the way they are mistreated by men."
2: "Duffy is wrong to have written from the viewpoint of a notorious murder in "The Devil's Wife."
I have left you an example of the sort of level of detail that you should aim for. You need to have the poems in front of you while you answer, ideally.
