Nia's re-write 2: The Highway Man by Alfred Noyes (1906)

In high school I was captivated by the sense of 'haunted' in the narrative poem by Alfred Noyes. Since it is set in 18th century, I would like to make a diary form from the perspective of Bess (the female lover) in the idea that she is in fact, not dead. Other ideas I would use would be unstructured, distorted, somewhat spatial type of writing that could contribute towards the post-colonial aspects of the project. Some more ideas would include revenge, witchcraft and link these to Pacific ideologies that will influence my writing. 

Any other ideas are more than welcome.
