Mrs Darwin - Duffy
  1. NOTE: Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution in 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection' in 1859.

    Anmerkungen:

    • The date of the poem is 1852.
    1. Duffy is making a political point. The possibility that Mrs Darwin came up with the idea, but didn't get credited as she was a woman in a time where female scientists weren't respected.
    2. "reminds". Tech: Verb.
      1. Mrs Darwin sees a similariy between her husband and the chimpanzee they see at the zoo.
      2. "Him" and "Chimpanzee" are both capitalised.
        1. This could be to draw on the similarity that Mrs Darwin states is present.
          1. Could also be a link to the theory of evolution, as humans evolved from apes.
          2. "Him". Tech: Pronoun.
            1. Mrs Darwin doesn't refer to her husband by name, which could be deliberately disrespectful.
