Light Brigade
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Content
- Context: 1854: disastrous charge led against Russian forces in Crimean War: folly, brave, courageous, but not wise
- War so glamorous: “all the world wonder’d”
- Noble, brave, etc; duty, sacrifice
- The kind of stuff Owen was condemning
Form
- Lots of use of repetition and anaphora: “Their’s not to make reply, / Their’s not to reason why, / Their’s but to do and die” and “Cannon to the right of them, / Cannon to the left of them, / Cannon in front of them”
