what are the themes in "Penelope" by carol Ann Duffy?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
At first, I looked along the road / hoping to see him saunter home / among the olive trees, / a whistle for the dog / who mourned him with his warm head on my knees. / Six months

Each stanza has 9 lines apart from the last stanza which has 11. This is due to the enjambment used to highlight the importance of the authors message. E.g. "When i heard a far too late familiar tread outside
the door."
"And aimed it surely at the middle of the needles eye
once more" - The author is trying to emphasise that there is still a barrier between her and her husband, and she will carry on with the cycle of sewing and unpicking.

Carol Ann Duffy uses imagery throughout the third, fourth and fifth stanzas to intricately describe the weaving that Penelope does during the day and unpicks at night. "I chose between three greens for the grass, a smokey pink, a shadows grey, to show a snapdragon gargling a bee." The use of the colours helps us to paint a visual picture of what the tapestry would have looked like.

Carol Ann Duffy uses Enjambment throughout her poem Penelope. The function of enjambment in poetry is typically to allow an idea to continue beyond the limitations of a single line, often to reinforce certain ideas within the lines themselves.
Carol uses this in the lines; "But found a lifetimes industry instead.
I sewed a girl"
This highlights the importance of the object Penelope is sewing.

The general tone of the poem is melancholic, as she is missing her husband dearly. However she finds her light in the darkness, her love for sewing. In his absence she  "found a lifetimes industry". Her mood develops from missing him, to in the end of the poem realising that even though her husband is missing from her life, she is able to find happiness in other things, such as sewing.

Penelope was considered the ideal image of a greek wife; beautiful, intelligent, loyal. This was depicted through her choice to stay loyal during her husbands years away. We also saw her intelligence and cunning abilities through the way that she would weave her tapestry during the day and unpicking it at night, to prolong her choice as to which suitor she would wed.

Penelope was the wife of the hero Odysseus in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Icarius and Periboea. Her husband went missing for 20 years after the Trojan War, during this time she was pursued by many suitors. She stayed faithful to Odysseus, while he was away. When he arrived home, she was waiting for him.
