"Edward"

"The curse of hell from me shall ye bear,
            Mother, Mother,
The curse of hell from me shall ye bear,
    Such counsels you gave to me, O."

This was a interesting poem.  It had a lot of repetition. It was also kind of disturbing because it talked about killing a few different things.  I was a bit confused as to why it said "Mother, Mother" over and over again because it did not really seem relevant.  But towards the end I realized that the speaker was saying that he did these things for his mother.  He killed his father because his mother wanted him to.  At the end, the speaker curses his mother because of what she made him do.
