Question

In the poem, ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’, why did the men of Light Brigade charge at their opponents despite knowing that it was a blunder?

Answer 1

Answer:

in that poem, even if the soldiers knew that they were going to die they fought to protect thier land and as it was an order which they had to obey...

Answer 2

They did so as they were obeying the order.

• The poem describes a military unit's valorous acts during a battle.
• The higher-ranking officers made a mistake, but the lower-ranking men had no choice but to follow the order.

• If only one or a few men had refused, they may have been punished for it. It would be an act of misconduct or even treason if all the men refused.
