Question

3. What excuse did Old Kaspar give for the enormous loss of
life and destruction because of the battle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet has depicted the destruction that war can cause through a conversation about a past battle — the Battle of Blenheim. Skulls are found here and there in the former battlefield when people plough the field or the children play there — suggestive of the sheer reality of death of thousands of people in the war.
