Question

Bring out the irony from the word great victory?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The repetition of the line 'it was a great victory' at the end of every stanza is only to emphasize the irony and to deliver the poet's message that war cannot be great; it can do no good. Thus the poet presents the conflict between the glorious notion of war and the truth of war in the poem.
