Published in 1732, "The Lady's Dressing Room" by Jonathan Swift is generally about the filthiness of a woman who is watched by an intrusive man who enters the woman's bedroom when she is not present Two years later, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu published "The Reasons Which Induced Dr. Swift to Write a Poem Entitled 'The Lady's Dressing Room'." combative response to Jonathan Swift's poem Both poets use a satirical style of writing in their poems to criticize each other In Jonathan Swift's poem, the tone seems both terribly sarcastic and disgusted Lady Montagu's poem illustrates. both a distinct anger but also a humorous tone Both poems are personal attacks that seem to have been written either out of malice or anger. From the outset, Jonathan Swift comes off as sarcastic in the first stanza of the poem when he. writes: Five o'clock (and who can do it less?) By the haughty Célia, she dressed; the goddess came out of her room, adorned with lace, brocades and fabrics. (Lines 1-4) Swift says that women take about five hours to get ready and nothing less. He calls Celia, the name Swift gives the ambushed woman in the poem, arrogant and then compares her to a goddess. This phrase suggests that women take a long time to reach a level of perfection or divinity. Jonathan Swift posits that Celia is a disgusting, dirty slut. He writes in such a way that the speaker of the poem seems very rude and vulgar when describing Celia. Swift writes: Fowled with the scouring of her hands, The Bason takes all that comes A villain composed of all hues, For here she spits, and here she spits. But oh! It turned poor Strephon's insides, when he saw and smelled the towels, he was thirsty and... middle of paper... more than - I will not return on a single crown, to wash your headband or turn your dress inside out.] (Lines 96-71) The themes of the two poems are similar. The two poets insult each other; it's almost like a battle between the sexes. These two poems show that until just a few years ago, poets like today's rap artists and singers were writing pieces that incorporated such drama and vulgarity, as demonstrated in "The Lady's Dressing Room" and “The Reasons that Induced Dr. S to Write a Poem Call.” 'd "The Lady's Cloakroom". Both plays are humorous and satirical as well as insulting and vulgar. The intensity presented in the voices of the speakers of both poems contributes to delivering a very well worded piece. Both poets are very skillful in their use of style, tone, and imagery to help readers feel the same way the poets themselves felt when they experienced what they were talking about in their poems..
