Explanation:
Explanation:Thomas Hardy began his writing career with novels, but when many of them received negative reviews, he seemed to abandon fiction in favor of poetry. The time period in which Hardy lived was such that he experienced war first hand. He also had a keen interest in history, and studied many of the wars that had happened much before his time. This knowledge of the effects of war, and his first hand experience of war, brought Hardy to write poems which expressed a desire for peace. This particular poem makes war very personal, and causes the reader to think about war in terms of one man killing another even though neither man hated the other. Hardy’s poems are often described as dark and gloomy. The experiences that Hardy had throughout his life did not give him a very optimistic view of mankind. Thus, his poetry reflects his feelings toward humanity, giving them a rather dark and cynical feel. However, the rhyme and rhythm that he uses are light and musical, giving The Man He Killed a feeling of irony that makes the dark images all the more powerful. As in this poem, many of Hardy’s poems cause the readers to think about humanity and to question why people do the things they do
