'Domestic Bliss' Summary
'Domestic Bliss' is a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that explores the complex and often contradictory nature of domestic life. The poem begins with a description of the idealized home, a place of love, happiness, and security. However, as the poem progresses, Wilcox reveals the darker side of domesticity, the disillusionment, and disappointment that can often accompany marriage and family life. Wilcox also critiques the traditional gender roles that confine women to the domestic sphere, arguing that women deserve the same opportunities as men to pursue their dreams and aspirations.Book Details
