Four disturbed characters from four different eras who all want the same thing: the destruction of others. Ultimately, this led to their ruin. The lust for power of Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, Browning's character driven by revenge which was consumed by the green-eyed monster, the necrophilia fantasies of Duffy's Havisham with her also obsessed with jealousy and Brontë's character who is challenged by the idea of ​​choice. All of these women share an unbalanced mind. Society has made them believe as if they have no power. The fact that the character in “Spellbound” is supposed to be female shows the influence that society has on us, even today. This is why these poems are important, because they always represent the society around us. The characters were certainly not born this way but were shaped over time. It is very difficult to put yourself in the shoes of these women as they are so different in so many ways; however, they are all united in their worried state of mind. The character in “Spellbound” has a vicarious desire for power because she has been fascinated by the “Tyrant’s Spell.” It's not that she doesn't have the happiness of overcoming this "depression", but that she lacks the vitality necessary to overcome this obstacle. Brontë captures the emotion of being in an unfavorable position as the character experiences powers beyond human control. The last line of each stanza ends with "can't go", indicating that she is not able to overcome the spell. She is stuck while everything around her moves, perhaps demonstrating the fact that she is trapped in her own mind. Like that of Catherine from Brontë's famous book 'Wuthering Heights' where she dies shortly after giving birth, which implies... middle of paper ...... making up her mind. The alliteration adds to this rush and magical imagery. It captures the uncertain and worried spirit of this character. Jealousy, power, and ambivalent emotions can light the way to a restless mind. These feelings and desires may not seem very strong at first glance, but can lead to total self-destruction. These four literary works lead the reader to question the society in which they live while Brontë defends the influence that choices have on us, Browning gives us the magnitude of decisions made in haste, Shakespeare gives us all a message to step back and take a closer look at the bigger picture and Duffy giving us the extent of total damnation. These four characters may appear psychologically disturbed but are in fact products of their societies. These four great writers finally give a voice to the voiceless..
