Show transcript
Arguably, we might see Duffy’s poem as a critique of the viewer and their response to suffering in art. We might see Ghose’s poem as a critique of humanity and the artist. Arguably, we might see Duffy demonstrating the futility of using art to inspire action against suffering. Potentially, we might see Ghose suggesting the futility of trying to capture human suffering through art.
