The poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes tells the story of an unnamed highwayman in love with Bess, the daughter of a landlord in one town. But a jealous man Tim alerted the authorities about the highwayman and their relationship, betraying them.
In the second part of the poem, when the highwayman returned, the now captive Bess tried hard to warn him of the ambush waiting for him. But unable to do so subtly, she took the gun and shot herself, which was enough to ward off the lover and he took away, returning the next morning where he was also shot dead. In order to save her lover, she had sacrificed her life. But they reunited in the afterlife.
Uh..it depends on what the topic of the essay is. If it has any form of torment included in the topic to that should be ok..if not, then I wouldn’t use it just to be safe..but ask your teacher to make sure it’s ok. I know some teachers are protective about that.
