Hi. Errm I know that this is a forum for Keats...I 'discovered' Keats last year and I remember coming across this forum then... however, I am a little stuck this year doing Hughes and Hardy. I'm wondering if any kind soul can help...
I have been working on a question considering Thomas Hardy's and Ted Hughes' handling of our relationship to the natural world...
My questions are as follows...
1) what do YOU think this question asks me to consider...
2) what do you think is Hardy's handling of our relationship to the natural world...?
3) What do you think is Hughes' handling of our relationship to the natural world...? So how would you contrast the two?
4) How would you consider 'An August Midnight' and 'Darkling Thrush' (Hardy) in the light of Question 2?
5) How would you consider Wind, Pike, Skylarks (Hughes) in the light of Question 3?
Now this next question is very important ...
6) What criticisms can you make of Hardy and Hughes (in the light of the main question?
