Sadie and Maud tells the story of two women who live very different lives that reflect their choices. Sadie bore two babies out of wedlock and scraped a meager life with her hands, going against social norms. Meanwhile, Maud lived a cautious life praised by society as the ideal woman. The poet uses literary devices like assonance, alliteration, and metaphor to explore how society expects women to conform but advocates living freely for one's own happiness, even if it brings shame.

SADIE AND MAUD By : Khairun Nisa Raudah
Theme • Going against the grain of society is perfectly acceptable. • The poem explains how these women lead very different lives that reflect the choices they make.
Literary Devices • Assonance - Repetition of vocal sound 'a' – "Maud and Ma and Papa" • Alliteration- Repetition of consonants sound 'b' – "Sadie bore two babies" • Metaphor - "A thin brown mouse" • Symbolism - "Sadie scraped life,with a fine tooth comb" • Hyperbole - "Nearly died of shame"
Tone • serious • the poet is ultimately talking about the standard that society holds women to. • They expect women to be like Maud, a smart and live a precautionary lifestyle. • Society shuns women not Sadie who do what they please, even if their happiness brings shame to them.
Message from the poet to readers • The poet wants readers to understand that choosing one's own path and living each day to the fullest, even if doing so means going against the grain, allows one to lead a happier and more complete life.
