- The Charge Of The Light Brigade by Alfred lord Tennyson
- context
- form and meter
- ballad with repeated refrain
- glorious but also a reminder to learn from the mistake of the charge.
- millatrised rigid structure - cant defy order
- dactylic diameter, broken in lines, "someone had bluner'd"
- ballad with repeated refrain
- language
- valley of death
- image of isolation and surrounded. metaphor highlights danger and courage. biblical allusion to the story of david versus goliath, however in this case the British are david.
- is it fair to portray the British upper class as David and the poor Russian soldiers as Goliath- when we're talking about class and identity of war. appeals to catholic majority in trying to make an enraged public feel pride in the charge which many disagreed about.
- refrain throughout
