Fish and Eye

Margaret Atwood

You fit into me

You fit into me

Like hook into an eye

A fish hook

An open eye

The poem talks about feelings. To give this feeling the poetess uses images like hook-eye etc. In the first lines the poetess describes the feeling of completeness and idealness, which each girl experiences in a relationship. The poetess talks to us or to a specific person as a girl in an unhappy love. She tells that the person is just perfect and that they are made for each other; however, as always nothing is perfect. In the lines 3 and 4 “fish hook and eye” tells how much this relationship is hurting her. How at the end this relationship, if there’s any, is not good for a girl and that he is not that perfect for her after all.
