Abstract

The poem entitled Lock of Berenice describes the behavior and attitude of ancient women as compared to the women emerging nowadays in the 20th century . Lock of Berenice examines the gender dynamics of the female characters in this poem . Their attitudes were given an emphasis that their extreme love for the opposite sex or their spouse may lead them into their own vulnerability and failure . In so doing , the poet would like

to impart a message for women to be extra careful in their affairs so as not to regret their actions in the end . Moreover , the author of the poem discusses the danger for the impulsive kind of love among women . He implied that when women make use of their hearts and bodies more than their minds , it is more likely that they will get hurt and feel frustrated in the end so they should balance the three and live a happier life with less expectations and stronger ego with the sense of independence . It was also stressed that women should realize that true love is more than the need of bodily pleasure . It extends to the absence of the body , and it is more on loyalty , faith , hope , and trust beyond distance
