Question

Home they brought her warrior dead
Q3 Explain how this poem is about deep and suppressed greif.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Home they Brought her Warrior Dead tells the story of a woman who lost her husband in battle. The third-person narrative allows the reader to see the widow’s reaction from an outside perspective. The reader, therefore, identifies with the rest of the crowd of gathered people and experiences the same concern for the widow and confusion at her reaction. For the first few stanzas, the widow is seen only as a woman who has lost her husband. However, the last stanza reveals that she is not only a widow but also a mother. This insight sheds light on her reaction, allowing the readers to understand what had been going through her mind as she realized that her husband was dead and she would have to raise the child alone.
