The poet Robert Southey has repeated the words ' famous victory ' and the main purpose behind it is that he wants to justify that the victory of the English in the battle was really a famous and also a great one.
Southey’s poem ‘After Blenheim’, Kaspar is a representative of the people who hold the old ideas and who are conservative about everything. He finds it difficult to believe in something new breaking away from the popular belief that the battle ended in a famous victory. He heard so many people mention it as a ‘great victory’. So he believed in it. He did not question it all his life. But now, when his own grandchildren are throwing questions on it, he is afraid to break free from the stereotypes, to upset the status quo. That is why, he sticks to his stands.
