Question 11: Discuss the effectiveness of the first-person narration, used by Lord Tennyson in the poem ‘The Brook’.
Answer: The brook is an inanimate object but the poet by introducing the device of personification makes it tell its experiences as it flows downhills, valley, villages and fields and finally joins a river. It relates the tale of its journey with accuracy and in detail. Its movements and the sounds it makes as it moves over pebbles, grassy plots, as it cuts its own banks and lets the beams of sun dance on its waters and carries flowers and fish along with it to the big river. There is liveliness, clarity and an effectively painted picture of a brook taking its natural course which comes alive before our eyes.
