Question

How is the plight of the farmer's wife depicted in the poem, "The Farmer's Wife"?

Answer 1

Answer : 

The poem 'The Farmer's Wife' reflects the helpless condition of the farmer's widow. The farmer was unable to repay the debts and he left all the debts on his wife. So she accused her husband that he poisoned himself and had gone away by poisoning her existence. She recalled her memories how he blamed her. She also remembered the memories of him beating her. But she never thought that he would give a deathblow like that by committing suicide. She expresses her helplessness of how she would bear the burden of four children.
