In much of her poetry, we can see Bradstreet struggling with the doctrine of weaned affections (the idea that individuals must “wean” themselves from earthly, material concerns and focus only on spiritual matters). It may seem strange to modern readers, but good Puritans were supposed to abide by this doctrine, which means that expressing obvious love and affection for your family, your spouse, and your belongings should never come before your love of God. People have made the argument that Bradstreet’s honest expression of her love for her children, husband, and beloved home clearly violates this doctrine – do you agree or disagree? Find examples from her poetry where you see Bradstreet possibly struggling with this doctrine and explain how she seems to be reconciling what she knows she “should” feel with how she actually feels as a woman, wife, and mother.
