본문내용

Poems are typically written in a metaphorical way to deliver a distinctive
message to the reader. The descriptive words create a poem by depicting its background, characters, main idea, and theme. Thomas Hardy, however, in “The Man He killed” delivers a strong message to his readers directly. The diction makes the reader realize more keenly the irrationality of war.
In the first stanza of this poem, the speaker says, “Had he and I but met, By some old ancient inn” (1-2). In the lines, the speaker asks if the two guys met at a pub. The diction from the lines that the speaker is trying to convey gives the reader a hint that the two guys did not meet at a pub. Also, the speaker states, “We should have set us down to wet, Right many a nipperkin!”(3-4) The nipperkin is used by the speaker makes the imagery of something bright, loud, and vivid. So, the diction and the imagery of this stanza contrasts to the images of war.
In the second stanza, however, the speaker says that the two guys meet as infantry in the war unfortunately. Since they meet as soldiers in war, they are obligated to fight, and one man has to die. He states, “I shot at him and he at me,” (7) This line explains that he had to kill the other guy to protect himself. So, this line fully shows the absurdity of war, which someone has to kill somebody to protect
