In Pride and Prejudice and A Room with a View, the endings show signs of similarity. The two heroines of the novel end up marrying the men they love in a relationship of mutual feelings between man and woman. This is something that women have sought throughout the novels, 'Wilde' suggested that, "Lucy has a very real desire to possess her own soul or, at least, to share it on terms of equality with the man she loves." This highlights how much she wants to find true love and her perseverance throughout the text ultimately pays off. The idea of true love that women have gained in relationships is present in Duffy's poem "Anne Hathaway", although we learn that the heroine's husband has died, her descriptions of how much she loved him are strongly expressed. She writes about her dead husband "Shakespeare". The poem is written in the form of a sonnet and the idea of love and admiration is strongly present. The ending of the poem stirs emotion as the reader becomes aware of the endless love Anne has for her dead husband. The woman is described as very strong in dealing with the loss of her love. This is evidenced by her frequent thoughts of him being “My living laughing love”. These words are obviously very complimentary and expose deep love
