In the poem the farmers bride written by Charlotte mew it sets the story in the past tense. The poem is about a young girl who had been chosen bay and old farmer to be his bride . She then tryed to run away but was then caught and locked away. In this poem the young girl is presented as too immature for a relationship. There are many examples of why she is immature . The first one is presented in the first stansa in the poem where she is describes as “too young” this already gives the impression that she is immature because if she is being described as too young it makes me think that she might still be in her teens or even younger .another reason why she is presented as immature is also on the first stansa where the farmer says ” when us wed she turned afraid of love and me and all things human. This tells us that she became afraid of the farmer who is her husband and afraid of the act of sex because she is too young to understand so she starts the worry and get scared . The girl then started to act frightened and stopped smiling she also ran away out among the sheep . This a significant reason for why she is too immature for a relationship , when children are afraid of something they tend to move away from the situation and choose not to face the issue in this case the girl was Africa’s of the farmer and chose to run away into the fields with the sheep . This a quite a childish response and gives the impression of immaturity . She also had a bed time and is taken control of by the farmer the quote “should properly have been abed” suggests that the farmer makes decisions for her and tells her what to do as if to control her or act like her father . In the poem it says “we caught her , fetched her home at last and turned the key upon her , fast.” It basically says that the farmer caught her and locked her up. This makes me think that she is treated like an animal or a child navies the gamer wants full control of her. She is not mature enough to understand and speed up for herself. In the 20th line is explains how she was locked up and forced to work about the house , again putting the farmer in a controlling and powerful position . It describes how she would play and sing along with the birds and the rabbits as such as the men folks are away . This presents her as childish because she still likes to play and she is scared of males.
Over all she is presented as childish because of the decisions she’s made and Jose she has reacted to different situations.
