Daddy

Daddy

After reading the poem, I think the narrator hate her Daddy and want to kill her daddy. But after read through it, I could sense the narrator still loves her Daddy. This poem is full of black atmosphere.  The narrator mentioned black several times.  “black shoe” ,”So black no sky could squeak through”,” You stand at the blackboard”, “Any less the black man who”, “A man in black with a Meinkampf look” , “The black telephone's off at the root”, “there's a stake in your fat black heart”. Also the poem is related with death. The narrator wants to kill her father. She wants to kill herself. She thinks her father is a German Nazi, and herself is a Jew. They seem naturally against with each other. But we could still sense the narrator loves this Daddy from some sentences. “ Every woman adores a Fascist”,  “And get back, back, back to you”. “ I thought even the bones would do”. “I made a model of you”.
