Question

In the poem Throwing a Tree by Thomas Hardy, why do you think that the poet has mentioned the names of the two woodcutters only in the last stanza?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the last two lines of the poem, the poet is showing you how the tree dies and it's life of two hundred years has come to an abrupt halt. So to say that the woodcutters 'Job' and 'Ike'  will be cause for the abrupt halt, the poet mentioned their names on the last stanza.
