Im really stuck on my Ext Eng assessment. we are currently studying the literary theory and different types of criticism. We have to analyse Oscar Wilde's poem, "The Harlot's House", from a feminism perspective and another of your choice.

How do i analyse this? what do i include etc.

Well if I were you, I'd go a parargraph on what feminism is and what sort of conventional views it takes, and have a look at language- is it chauvinistic, male-centric? phallocentric? not that i have read the poem, but yeah.

I haven't read the poem.
Generally you look at things like, are there strong female characters? do the men dominate the women? stuff like that.
