Show transcript
The use of iambic pentameter may represent how homelessness is a regular occurrence in society.
The enjambment may represent how society and people continue without stopping to help.
The metaphorical imagery of decomposition could represent the dehumanisation of the beggar.
The final word “solitude” could represent how alone the old man is in society.
The flippant language such as “thrown aside” arguably shows how dehumanised the beggar is.
