The poet starts the poem with ‘GRRRRR’ which show that the speaker is angry about something. The poet also finishes the first stanza with the line ‘Hell dry you up with its flames’. This shows that the speaker is speaking to someone and that the persin has done someth8ng wrong. As the poem is called a Cloister, they must be in a place of worship. This links with the word hell. This implies that maybe the speaker is a monk.
In the second stanza the speaker shows more love as it starts with ‘At the meal we sit together’.

Harry,
This is a good start. You have identified some key elements of the narrative and used two purposeful quotations.
Who is the majority of the hatred aimed at? Why does the speaker harbour hatred towards this person? How is this shown?
Remember – you must show analysis of language and figurative language. Identify these devices – why have they been used? How have they enhanced meaning?
