Poem: To the doctor who treated the raped baby and who felt such despair(Dowling-1962)
Question: Explain the ways in which the title of this poem is unusual, and comment on whether or not it it effective in relation to the poem's contents.

Respuesta :

The unusual character of the title lies in its length and in the fact that in poetry more often the content is understood from the text rather than the title- unlike here.
 
It's very effective in that it presents the situation, which is very tragic and shocking - so the title is shocking just like the whole poem.

Also, in the case of poetry, it's more appropriate to speak of  opinions and interpretations that absolute truths - so there might also be other options.
