“The Marriage Vow” Poem by Letitia Elizabeth Landon in relation to the Victorian Period. Provide examples from the poem.

Throughout the Victorian era, most girls were brought up to believe that it was their duty, when they reached adulthood, to get married and have children. With little choice over their own education, they were often taught domestic skills and trained to care for husbands and children. It was not until 1870, with the introduction of the Married Women’s Property Act, that married women were actually allowed to keep their earnings and inherit property. Before that, they, along with their possessions, were seen as the rightful property of their husbands.

 The Marriage Vow:

The altar, ’tis of death! for there are laid
The sacrifice of all youth’s sweetest hopes.
It is a dreadful thing for woman’s lip
To swear the heart away; yet know that heart
Annuls the vow while speaking and shrinks back
From the dark future that it dares not face.
The service read above the open grave
Is far less terrible than that which seals
The vow that binds the victim, not the will,
For in the grave is rest.
