Tone Poem 2

"Getting Out"

What is the central purpose of the poem, the poet's fictional point?

The central purpose of this poem is to show that love does not necessarily work out. You can still love someone, even if you are not able to stand being around them. She mentions the man trying to leave, but for some reason or another we know that he came back. Both of them were trapped by this feeling of loving each other, but not being able to get along. She also mentions still having a picture of him and how he writes her every year. People who get divorced generally try to avoid each other at all costs. But these two are completely different. They want to make sure to keep in touch. Even when they were parting ways, they tried to hold onto each other. The two contrasting feelings are very evident in this poem.
