'Cousin Kate' by Christina Rossetti-Voice and Points of View

Voice
The voice throughout the poem is that of the narrator, the woman who has become an "outcast thing" in society due to her brief love affair with the lord without marriage. For the majority of the poem the narrator or speaker is talking to her cousin Kate, who could actually be her cousin or she could be representative of how women should be close (like family/cousins) yet they stab each other in the back often. She is reflecting on everything that has happened to her and adressing Kate directly-"O Lady Kate, my cousin Kate". In the poem the way the speaker talks to Kate it's like she's providing a voice for all these so-called 'fallen women who may have done nothing wrong. Rossetti could have done this intentially as she may have worked with such women, who are also single mothers at St Mary Magdalene's penitentiary in Highgate.
In the last few lines of the poem, the speaker stops talking to Kate and starts addressing her son. "Cling closer, closer yet: Your father would give lands for one to wear his coronet"-So maybe the speaker was just telling a story to her son about society and the injustice of it, but that they will benefit in the end.

Points of View
The main point of view we see in the poem is evidentily that of the speaker, however we also get hints of general society's view. We know that the speaker achknowledges she was tricked by the lord but still seems bitter as she feels she didn't do anything wrong. This is shown in "Shameless shameful life"-she feels she hasn't sinned, but society says she has. We see society's view when it says "The neighbours call you good and pure, call me an outcast thing"-society obviously values marriage very highly and thinks it important in order for a woman to remain "pure". Whereas through the speaker's point of view we see this is unfair, as the same rules don't apply to men.
Also when the speaker says "why did the great lord find me out?" and repeats this it's evident she feels it's the man's fault and that anyone in her situation would have been tricked just as she was. We also see that the speaker thinks it's wrong that Kate married the lord,  and she says she would have "spat in his face". She seems to think that Kate has done more wrong than her as her love for the lord was short-lived and she betrayed the speaker.
The speaker seems to find the most fault in the lord, she repeats over and over again how "he" did this and "he" did that. To perhaps illustrate that he was in the wrong. She was the object and he was the subject.

Finally it is the narrator's point of view that she is still strong at the end of the poem. She is a fallen woman with the means to metaphorically get back on her feet, for example she has a new joy in her son. She shows this by saying "I've a gift you have not got and seem not like to get"-the fact she refers to her son as a gift shows that, in her view she doesn't see her son as proof of her shame etc, she feels she has gained something wonderful by having him. She refers to him as her "shame" and "pride"-again it's like in the view of society he is her shame, whereas in her eye, he is simply her pride.

So overall we are pursuaded by the narrator to see her point of view, we aren't supposed to side with anyone else.
