The ambiguity of this poem means that it is much more intruiging than it might appear on first reading. There are many unanswered questions but the anger and bitterness of the speaker is unmistakable.

This poem is full of very intense ideas and emotions, especially as two of the characters are sisters. What is the effect of this? And how do the religious connotations of the title seem to steer us in a different direction before we even begin to read the poem?
