Concerning His Poems, Alfred Lord Tennyson’S Work Relies

Alfred Tennyson wrote the “Charge of the Light Brigade” in 1854 and it is about the battle of Balaclava in the Crimean war. Although this battle had no real influence on the outcome of the war it showed the bravery of six hundred British soldiers who charged into almost certain death. The poem itself is a patriotic ballad keeping up with the tradition of the time. The poem is heroic and romantic.

War is a scandalous topic where peoples’ views differ as to what war is. Some people see it as pure evil and wicked while others think that it is brave and noble of what soldiers do. Looking at poems which had been written by people affected by war help show the messages which are portrayed. The two sets of poems which show different views of war as well as some similarities are “the Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson, “To Lucasta, on Going to the Wars” by Richard Lovelace and “Dulce Et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen, “The Song of the Mud” by Mary Borden. Both these poets use linguistic devices to convince the reader of their view of what the war is. Tennyson and Lovelace show how war is worthy

In the poems ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’ by Alfred Lord Tennyson and ‘Exposure’ by Wilfried Owen, both poets incorporate ideas of patriotism to convey a message about the futility of war. This is revealed in many similar and different ways:

The first poem we are going to look at is ‘The Charge of the Light

Conflict drives the audience into the lives of others, making it the best literature. Tim Winton expresses his childhood experiences in his short stories, such as 'Big World'. The conflict includes the narrator’s inner feelings, conflict with his Mother and Biggie, being successful and his attitude towards the environment.'The Charge of the Light Brigade' (1870) is a poem, composed by Alfred Lord Tennyson. The conflict includes the devastation of war and the brave soldiers who fought.

In the poem Charge of the Light Brigade Alfred Lord Tennyson tells the story of a light brigade consisting of 600 soldiers charging on horseback into the “valley of death” during the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1953-56 where they fought against Russian and Cossack forces. The poem tells of the journey that soldiers take through battle. Tennyson uses repetition, personification, and diction to make this poem flow.

Firstly, the 600 knew that someone made a mistake on the commands to attack. In stanza two of “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” it states that the soldiers knew a person made a mistake. “Not though the soldier knew someone had blundered.” These texts prove that the brigade knew a mistake was made. Even though the troops knew they were charging to the gates of hell, they charged valiantly.

Into the mouth of hell. Death. Heros do not run from danger, the run to it. In the poem, “The Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson it celebrates courage and boldness of the soldiers. The soldiers have to be very brave to do what they do.

causes the poem to flow, and thus lightens up the dark and serious issue of war. The lines "But ranged as infantry, And staring face to face, I shot at him as he at me, And killed him in his place." are easy to read; however, their meaning is extremely

The Battle of Balaclava happened on October 25, 1854 it was an epic battle between a handful of men and a Russian army. There are stories and article written about the battle, but what really was a game change is “The Charge of the Light Brigade” it was written by Alfred Lord and with the help of William Howard Russell, the the first modern foreign correspondent to witness and report on the actual events of a war. “The Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson affects the understanding of the real events behind the poem by using repetition to show action or a great moment in the battle. It was quite heroic for that group of men to go out and fight thousands of Russian soldiers even though they were outnumbered by a lot. The Poem adds sentimental feeling behind it without naming or explicitly telling you.

With a distraught tone in this poem, the next poem features a more passionate and inspiring tone for the reader. The poem “If We Must Die” has a more positive tone even though the setting is an upsetting scene. With soldiers lined up, knowing they will die in their upcoming battle, their leader gives a very inspiring speech about how important it is to fight with honor. In line 5 where the narrator quotes, “If we must die, O let us nobly die”, he wants the soldiers to fight like men and to be brave, not to fight like cowards. The leader’s courageous speech most likely worked on his troops to encourage them into war
