How does Ted Hughes convey the ruthless power and violence in animals through the poems “Pike” and “Hawk Roosting”?
How does Ted Hughes convey the ruthless power and violence in animals through the poems "Pike" and "Hawk Roosting"? Animals are living things that we see in our everyday lives yet we don't seem to give them any importance. Very few people give them the respect they deserve. The poems I am going to compare are based on animals. The animals are given human qualities, which are done purposely by Ted Hughes to make us realize what we really are. Very few poets have chosen animals to take the lead roles in their poems. Ted Hughes is one of those few poets who have taken animals to play the lead role in his poems. Many of Ted Hughes poems have their subjects on predatory animals and birds. The latent feeling of violence and power in untamed creatures fascinated Hughes. In his poems, animals and birds are not decorative or incidental but central symbols of vitality. "Pike" and "Hawk Roosting" are the two poems of Ted Hughes, which I am going to compare. These two poems convey the theme of violence and power very clearly. The selfishness and self-centered attitude of the animals is another prominent theme in the play. These themes are brought out in various ways and various lines. Both animals, the "Hawk" and the "Pike" make it very clear that they want to be the dominant creatures in their respected habitat. Ted Hughes always has most of the most of the poems he writes with the
Using a Selection of 20th Century Poems Compare and Contrast the Treatment of Nature and the Environment In the Works of the Poets You Have Chosen
USING A SELECTION OF 20TH CENTURY POEMS COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE TREATMENT OF NATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE WORKS OF THE POETS YOU HAVE CHOSEN In the first half of the 20th century the main form of entertainment in the home was still reading books and poetry. Not many people had televisions even when they were first invented so poetry was a much more important part of peoples' recreation. Despite the increase in new modern technology much poetry was about nature or used nature in a variety of ways to portray other meanings to the poem or emotions. A lot of poetry was also written about the environment around people which is always changing. The poets showed how they saw the world themselves. Many more of the poems than in the 19th century or before were very personal. More poets wrote about their lives and childhood or about what they thought about certain issues. This was interesting very often and was very popular. Some of the poets such as Sylvia Plath also had very deep personal troubles and this was shown in the poems. This also made a more interesting read for many people because it was new and different. In this coursework piece I will analyse some poems written in the earlier part of the 20th century and compare them. I will look at the ways in which each poem has used nature and the environment. The poems I have chosen to study are "Blackberrying" by Sylvia
Poetry Comparison - 'Telephone Conversation' by Wole Soyinka and 'Ballad of the Landlord' by Langston Hughes.
Poetry Comparison The two poems 'Telephone Conversation' by Wole Soyinka and 'Ballad of the Landlord' by Langston Hughes both focus on the issue of racism. Thus the poems have a similar theme but present the theme in a variety of different ways. The backgrounds of the poets tell us a lot about their intentions. Soyinka is a Nigerian who was raised as a Christian. He is also highly educated and went to two universities, one a Nigerian university the other an English university. His background shows he mingled into western society but he was never treated as an equal. Soyinka wrote political literature and was arrested for seizing radio stations and making a political broadcast about the fairness of the Nigerian elections. He was politically oppressed and his whole life has been a struggle. He often voiced his opinions on the Nigerian government and the racism he has experienced. His intentions are quite clearly shown in 'Telephone Conversation' where he illustrates a typical example of racism, possibly autobiographical, through the absurd reaction of the landlady. If he had gone to see the flat, the landlady would have lied and told him it was already taken so it would have been directly racist. But when he rings on the phone, she tells him the flat is free before being told by the character, who is anxious not to make a wasted journey, that he is black. The landlady asks how
Ted Hughes, the thought fox, is an effective poem on both a literal and a symbolic level. Would you agree?
Ted Hughes, the thought fox, is an effective poem on both a literal and a symbolic level. Would you agree? The thought fox has often been acknowledge as one of the best masterpiece created by Ted Hughes. At the same time it is one of the most frequently anthologised of all Hughes's poems. If you are familiar with the poetry of Ted Hughes, you will know that he uses animals not purely for their own sakes but as a vehicle for commenting on the human condition. As he was brought up in the Yorkshire countryside, he uses aspects of his experience there to develop his poetic themes. Just like the other masterpiece done by Ted Hughes, Hawk in the rain, the Thought Fox is also a poem which deals with the presence of an animal. At the most basis level of this poem, this animal which will be encompassed is outlined by Ted Hughes from the beginning, the title of the poem. The title of this poem, which is "the thought fox", has inherently suggested the present of a fox. As to fully appreciate this poem, one must fully understand both the literal and symbolic meaning of the fox, as the fox plays an important role in this poem. The thought fox is a poem about writing a poem. He is alone at the loneliest time of the night, and the most mysterious - midnight. He is a writer, as we can tell from line 4, where he mentions "this blank page where my fingers move" He is obviously waiting for
Concentrating on one Poem by each Poet, Compare and Contrast the ways in which Hughes and Wordsworth Present Man's Relationship with Nature
Concentrating on one Poem by each Poet, Compare and Contrast the ways in which Hughes and Wordsworth Present Man's Relationship with Nature Both Hughes and Wordsworth have beliefs about man's relationship with nature, but I feel that they see the relationship between the two in different ways. Hughes has a more pessimistic and negative approach, feeling that nature must protect herself from man's destructive nature, while Wordsworth believes that nature is a teacher and nurtures you. Wordsworth uses a more optimistic and positive approach in his poetry. Wordsworth sees nature in a romantic and spiritual sense that protects and is constantly feeding and inspiring man's mind and helping it to grow. On the other hand Hughes sees man as interfering and destructive towards nature and is excluded from its harmony. Hughes personality is much more complicated and hard to deal with, so to speak, than Wordsworth's; this is reflected in his attitude towards nature because he thinks that nature is a violent and brutal enemy towards man and even itself. From this you can tell that he is quite a brooding and depressive man. I have chosen to compare 'Work and Play' by Hughes and by Wordsworth I have chosen 'Expostulation and Reply' and 'The Tables Turned' which are poems on the same subject but 'The Tables Turned' is set later on in the day and is the 'Companion-Piece' to 'Expostulation and
Examine the significance and treatment of the natural world in the poetry of one or more writers from the module. The poets Ted Hughes and Dylan Thomas.
EN1 014 - Twentieth-Century English Poetry - An Introduction Martin Matthews Total Words - 1713 Word used in Quotes - 203 Word Count - 1510 Examine the significance and treatment of the natural world in the poetry of one or more writers from the module. The poets Ted Hughes and Dylan Thomas both explore the beauty of the natural world and at the same time the cruelty and violence contained in it. This is apparent in Hughes's poem 'Pike'. Pike, Three inches long, perfect Pike in all parts, green tigering the gold. Hughes uses the opening two lines of the poem to express the magnificence of the pike and how the pike would seem to be 'perfect' in every way. Killers from the egg the malevolent aged grin In the third line due to the introduction of 'killers' Hughes breaks the 'perfect' image of the Pike in the poem. The audience is made to realise due to the juxtaposition of beauty and violence, that this perfect creation of nature is made to kill and destroy other 'perfect' creations. Of course it could be said that the pike is a 'perfect' killer, so therefore the pike is still perfect, the perfect predator. They dance on the surface among the flies. Or move, stunned by their own grandeur, Over a bed of emerald, silhouette Of submarine delicacy and horror. The above quote is an example of the contrast between the beauty and ugliness of nature. When Hughes

Stressed/unstressed, iambic pentameter etc b. Form on page, reasons for. 4. Language and Poetry techniques 5. Personal preference and reason For this essay I need to compare and contrast a pre 20th Century and 20th Century piece of poetry that share animals. The Two poems I have chosen are Horses be Edwin Muir for my pre 20th century piece. For my 20th century text I have chosen "The Jaguar" by Ted Hughes. The two poets are using their poetry to inform their audience about their beliefs and thoughts on certain issues. In "Horses" by Edwin Muir the poet is informing the audience about his thoughts on the beginning of the industrial revolution and the effect it will have on the countryside and in particular the shire horse. In "The Jaguar" Ted Hughes makes us aware of his dislike of zoos and the imprisonment of animals and the feelings they encounter, boredom, hope and loneliness. Within "Horses" the poet informs us about his fascination with the shire horse. He describes them as 'like a magic power'. This fascination has been lifelong, from some 'childish hour' to the present time. The poet is fascinated by their

In a close reading of 'The Thought-Fox' and 'Roe-Deer', discuss how he uses, the theme of nature. You should analyse his use of language. Poetry - Ted Hughes Various poems by Ted Hughes explore the world of nature and describe the power and mystery of animals. Two particular poems that convey Ted Hughes' theme of nature are the celebrated 'The Thought-Fox' and 'Roe Deer'. When Ted Hughes was only a young boy, he had a love for animals as "he spent a good deal of time hunting and trapping". At the age of about fifteen, Hughes' "attitude towards animals changed." He "accused" himself "of disturbing their lives." And ever since then, he began to look at them "from their own point of view." This led to him beginning writing about animals in his poetry shortly after he began writing poetry. Hughes realized from an early time, well before he wrote his first animal poem that the hunting that he did so much was similar to his thought process, "the slightly mesmerized and quite involuntary concentration with which you make out the stirrings of a new poem in your mind, then the outline, the mass and colour and clean final form of it, the unique living reality of it in the midst of general lifelessness." And then the poem created from that thought process was "a new species of creature, a new specimen of life outside your own". This was his way of equating a poem. 'The Thought-Fox
Ted Hughes famously quoted "What excites my imagination is the war between vitality and death".
Ted Hughes' Poetry - The Contrast between Vitality and Death Ted Hughes famously quoted "What excites my imagination is the war between vitality and death". This is a key factor in the effectiveness of nearly all of Hughes' early work - the stark contrast between life and death, vitality and lethargy. In poems such as "The Jaguar", "Roarers in a Ring" and "Six Young Men", there is a severe and often brutally sudden transition between the two extremes. I found all of these poems, particularly "The Jaguar", intriguing and enthralling; the respect that Hughes has for animals and humans who live their lives to the full is admirably enormous. In "The Jaguar", the poet describes his disregard for the majority of the animals in the zoo he visits because they have accepted captivity and surrendered to a life free from care, excitement and interest. Most of the animals have lost the magic of their natural instincts. He disdainfully describes them with words like "indolence" and "sloth" and uses the simile "like cheap tarts" to describe the parrots. This insinuates that they are willing to "strut" and show off to anyone, as they have lost any sense of pride and self worth they once had. However, there is one creature that excites and captivates the crowds, and as the title of the poem suggests, has also left a lasting impact on Hughes. Instead of lazing around idly, the sleek black
