Variations on the Word Love

Margaret Atwood's poem Variations on the Word Love was another poem that effected me and stood out to me. The use of persona is pretty strong in this poem because there is a central voice throughout but she also takes the voice of a few different people. She talks about how love can be many different things and can make you feel a million different ways. She talks about the young lovers and the love they feel, the love the mother has for her children when she is cooking a meal. Love can be many different things for many different people. The fear of love is something that affects us all as well.
