I can analyse how Larkin presents the themes of a loss of innocence and the passage of time in ‘Afternoons’.
Muuji qoraalka
Larkin presents the young couples as having lost their youthfulness as a result of having children.
Larkin arguably presents the responsibility of having a child as burdensome in the poem.
The title could reflect that these couples are in the 'afternoon' of their lives, creating a pitiful tone.
Larkin uses contrasting tones in the first stanza, perhaps to reflect the expectation vs the reality of having a child.
Larkin’s ominous and, at times, foreboding tone could represent time creeping up on the young couples.
