in the story of after blenheim, do you think the poet is in favour of war?why
Answers
Southey's poem after Blenheim is anti-war poem. he is ironic here to present the fact that people in general glorify war and war heroes without knowing what good it does to mankind or why a victory is called great or famous.
In the poem we see that the old Kaspar repeatedly mentions the battle of Blenheim as great and famous victory but he does not know the reason. the poet has depicted the destruction that the war can cause through a conservation about past battle - the battle of Blenheim. The poet highlights the point that no war is great or famous but all wars are just pointless and they only cause damage to mankind.
