Abstract

Carol Ann Duffy is known for her Versatility in writing poems. All her poem is written for the upliftment of women and to eradicate Patriarchy in the society. She longs to build a society that is free of ill-treatment of female and enhancing equality among the people. Her poems are very unique. And in this paper, I have discussed about the connection between. Art, Nature and Human are entities that are interlinked with each other This constraint is a tool for redefining society and portraying social reality. In short, their lyrics admit that institutional repression cannot be completely reformed. Instead, it works to lay a solid foundation for disrupting the tradition between androcentric literary texts and the widespread and idealized liberation of women. The prevailing gender ideology and institutions allow her to make room for women within the norms of male-dominated literature.
