In order to make comparisons for your exam, it's useful to be clear about which poems might be grouped in different ways in order to write a clear and coherent argument. Poems might be grouped by e.g. their source, their themes and ideas, their mood and tone or their style and form.
Try to group and make connections between the poems under the following headings:
Mythology
Historical figures
Biblical figures
Literature/Film
Make mind-maps - with key quotations and points that you draw between the poems. That way you will be able to apply this work to which ever question comes up (hopefully!)
If you have done this now see which poems actually could be classified as 'wives'. Under that you have conventional 'wives' (married etc) and unconventional ones.
Good luck - and remember you can post your thoughts here to help you share and formulate your ideas.
