Lesson outcome
I can explore how Hughes uses language and structure to present the multi-faceted destructive impact of war.
Show transcript
Hughes shows the destructive nature of war through its impact on the soldier and the environment.
In medias res and the use of a chaotic and disorientating structure shows the inherent panic of conflict.
Hughes’ complex combination of violence, human body parts and weaponry blurs the line between the human and machine.
Hughes subverts pastoral imagery to show that warfare destroys the environment, peace and innocence.
