Question 5

Perspective in MLD

Answer 5

It is based in first person monologue in the present tense and takes on the narrative perspective of the duke of ferrera, in doing this browning can give political views in the critical Victorian era with no repercussions, like shelly in ozimandias. The biased perspective means the viewers have to infer the truth and this exposes the lack of female voice in victorian society as they had very restricted rights much like the unjustly killed duchess cannot express her story

Answer 6

• constant communal pronouns, no mention to indiviuals or achievemnts at that would both diminish the nationalism and create anger towards the government by humanising the victims of war to more than a unit

Question 7

Perspective in bayonet charge

Answer 7

It is written in thied person singular. The writer is focussed on the psychological impacts of war which is ironic as soldiers were trained not to show emotion, indeed he seems desensitised to the physical atrocities of battle and is only broken from his trance like state by the overbearing power of nature
The third person singular aspect focuses on the individual and the impactwar had on each soldier,focuses on the horrors of war. here it is impossible to see the effects of war favourably even if you believe in the national benefits and the sense of honour
The singular also focuses on the suffering and lonesomeness of war, they are negelcted by aid as the soldier is the only human mentioned in the story and neglected by society and forced to simply reconform post war

Question 8

Perspective in remains

Answer 8

dramatic monolouge
includes a heavy amount of verbs in the present tense which show it to be a flashback, a sign that the speaker is consantly reliving the events as they’ve deeply impacted him in the present day. It acts as a therapy session or as a conversitional recount by the soldier.
there’s a shift in perspective duirng the poem, he begins heavily alleviating his own blame by the usage of communal pronouns in ‘the three of us’ yet at the end there’s a very clear isolation of the solider showing his acceptance of responsibility and also the effects of ptsd as it corrupts past memories

Question 9

Answer 9

• comes from the sad perspective of those non fighting but affected by the war
• the poem begins in thirs person despite being spoken by the daughter which shows a dissociation from her father
  at the end of the poem there is a volta and shift to first person perspective which shows how war effected her on a deeper personal level
  In the final line it shifts back cyclically to third person, this could be the writer showing how now the speaker is placing themslves away from the jingoistic society that caused the rift in her family and her fathers death, or this could equally represent her composing herself and shifting back to the complete dissociation of her father as her society would applaud her to act
