Show transcript
Arguably, the speaker associates their home with beauty, joy, and a sense of being carefree.
Conversely, the speaker presents their current situation as bringing them pain.
Potentially, we might also suggest the speaker feels as if they must hide their heritage in their current situation.
McKay arguably suggests that returning home will relieve the speaker of this pain.
We might suggest that we can see an idealised view of rural, peasant life in ‘I Shall Return’.
