Question

How
does
the poet speak
of the middle age
women​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the last stanza of the poem “The Bangle Sellers”, the sellers say that the purple and gold-flecked grey bangles are suitable for the middle-aged woman who has “journeyed through life midway”, raised her children well, and remained faithful to her husband and family.  

 

Clearly, the poet’s opinion is positive here. The middle-aged woman is regarded as successful in her life by raising her “fair sons”, serving her household with “fruitful pride“, praying to the God at her husband’s side, that is by remaining true to her husband. The poetess glorifies the women for their respect to the culture and tradition of the society.
