Paper Summary:

This paper presents a detailed examination of the imagery, irony and tone in the poem "Sex Without Love," by Sharon Olds. The paper describes her use of these tools to illustrate her disgust for purely physical sex void of the emotion, love.

From the Paper:

"Throughout time, authors of poetry have used their words to underscore a point or to draw out an emotion from their readers. In Sharon Olds "Sex Without Love", the use of imagery, irony and tone make clear to the reader that Olds had an aversion and disgust for causal and purely physical sex. Her poem speaks of the lack of understanding she has for the way people can make love without feeling love and her use of imagery creates an understanding of the contradictory nature that loveless sex holds for its participants."
