Different stories, plays, poems and films, told in different ways and at different times, can all provide insights into our contemporary society. This is the power through language and also one of Ted Hughes’s two main themes along with “the war between vitality and death”. Many of Ted Hughes’s poems show this “war” and “elements of shock and violence and aggressive imagery”. This is experience through language. Good morning year 11 and Miss Marsh. Today I’m going to talk to you about two of Ted Hughes’s poems “View of a Pig” and “Hawk Roosting.”
Wild creatures are one of the main subject choices in Ted Hughes’s poems. These wild creatures are “active, defiant, and untamed”. They “cannot be conquered by artificial society created by man”.
“View of a Pig” is about learning to think through problems and inconveniences to end up finding acceptance. The poem runs through all the frustrating steps of a new problem and yet finds sympathy and acceptance at the end.
With some thought the once frustrating encounter with the pig leads to sympathy when remembering the being once had earthly pleasure. First of all the poem starts off in a rather frustrating manner.
There is an encounter with a large lifeless pig laying on top of a barrow. First contact with the pig causes the person to “Thump it without feeling remorse.” The thumping however did no good as “It was like a sack of wheat.” After some physical abuse the pig turns out to be not like a pig at all. The pig felt too dead to be mad at as it was like “A poundage of lard and pork.” The blame for where the pig lay was formally upon the pig but it “Did not seem able to accuse.” Through all the frustrating events, and attempts to accuse the pig, sympathy for the pig starts to appear. Instead of the anger, the poem changes to being more sympathetic towards the pig. The frustrating resting place of the pig does not matter as much when thinking “Of earthly pleasure it had been.” When looking at the closed eyes with white eyelashes, and its feet sticking straight out, its life “Seemed a false effort, and off the point.” It became hard to believe that all of the pigs “Distinctions
бряжно: “Hence the pig’s tendency to ignore the truth and the truth is now a form of pride in itself. ” The more intense the wolf’s action, the less support it has, and less sympathy it has with the truth and the truth is now a form of pride in itself. ” Its fear is too real, and as such the pig never fully shows it any sympathy or is satisfied with this kind of behavior. ”As for its other senses, they were quite different, and the emotions with which they relate are more interesting as they relate to its own sense of anger. ”з It is easy to understand that when a pig is attacked, it is provoked, which means that it is only a matter of time until it is finally calmed down. ”This is what happens even to animals. ”A pig that is aggressive doesn’t care what the other man does to it. This is how animals handle their situation. ”When a dog, pig or man is attacked, it is too aggressive for it to go for the safety or welfare of any woman. ”She is angry at any man that might come over after it! There are many such issues. ”It is important to remember before any of our poems that animals are as much victims as they are friends or foes. ”The more aggressive a subject gets, the more easily the other man will find it in ways that other creatures cannot. We are not alone in having to deal with animals in the same way. ”When a pig is attacked, it is still as calm as if she had no fear of the enemy. ”I have to admit that it is better to have calm than fear when it is a threat. ”No matter how angry the enemy goes, there are no guarantees that no animal will react kindly to you. ”The most critical moment in a fight is when the animal is afraid of the enemy. As for the opponent, I will not speak of her pain, her rage. ”In almost every single fight, the pig will not look at you, and she would rather not. Only a pig could have that reaction. ”While she is at peace, the pig has very little energy because the person does not understand. ”That’s because if you make noise and make a noise to the rest of the room but the rest of them do not follow through on your order—there is nothing even they can do. They are just sheep. You may not even react if you hear or feel something. ”The pig just won’t let you have a good time in the fighting arena or other situations where you have a bad experience with other beasts. ”Because the pig likes confrontation more than anything, you should also not take the time to start a fight. She will lose. ”It is because her anger is much greater than her courage that a Pig will become one during her anger.”The human intellect is the same as any other sort of animal, as it has a capacity to make a choice to make a reasonable decision. It has
