Analysing how Hughes presents the power of nature in 'Hawk Roosting'

Hughes' poem takes the form of a dramatic monolgue from the perspective of the hawk. The hawk is presented as omniscient and omnipotent because he appears to know everything and see everything. The hawk arguably views himself as a God-like figure in the poem, who controls life and death in the wood. The hawk is presented as an articulate speaker, highlighting that his power is more than just physical. Hughes uses personal pronouns, perhaps to show that the hawk’s only interest is his own survival - he is amoral.
