29. The Prelude: Stealing the boat

30. The Prelude: Stealing the boat
(Mountain): after me

31. The Prelude: Stealing the boat
(Mountain): strode after me Personification: the verb ‘strode’ sounds big and dangerous; the phrase ‘after me’ sounds like the poet feels he is being chased and is therefore intimidated by the mountain. FEAR.

32. The Prelude: Stealing the boat
Over my there hung a darkness

33. The Prelude: Stealing the boat
Over my thoughts there hung a huge darkness Metaphor: the ‘huge darkness’ sounds very threatening and menacing. The fact that it has persisted and is ‘hung’ in his thoughts tells us that this awesome mountain (representing the power of nature), has left a significant impression on him.

34. The Prelude: Stealing the boat
(mountain) peak, black and

35. The Prelude: Stealing the boat
(mountain) huge peak, black and huge Repeated adjectives: his is overwhelmed and intimidated by the sheer size, hence calling it a ‘monster’

40. The Charge of the Light Brigade
Valley of

41. The Charge of the Light Brigade
Valley of death METAPHOR: Makes the valley sounds extremely dangerous and certain of death; in turns, it makes the ‘noble 600’ instantly appear strong, brave and heroic.

42. The Charge of the Light Brigade
Jaws of

43. The Charge of the Light Brigade
Jaws of death REPETITION/METAPHOR: again, it highlights the incredibly difficult battle that they face, as they are expected to die. This inevitability is enhanced further by the noun ‘jaws’, which sounds enclosing, with no escape.

51. The Charge of the Light Brigade
REPEATED: Rode the 600 (towards end): rode back, but not 600 The repetition of ‘600’ highlights the pride in the soldiers fight as one: unity. However, although we are never told exactly how many die, we are saddened that the unity has been broken.
