Shakespeare
The Rape of Lucrece
F
While I suppose parts of this are well written, this poem is alternately creepy and boring. I really don't want to read about how gorgeous a rape victim's hair is, nor do I want to hear that she has to kill herself because she's no longer "pure" for her husband. Yes, it's a product of its time, but I'm not of that time and couldn't wait for this poem to be over.
