Question

Pan’s act of creating the flute adversely affected Nature. Justify this
behaviour of the Great God Pan with reference to the poem.

Answer 1

Answer:

An unidentified third-person speaker begins the poem with a question about the actions of the poem’s subject. The speaker immediately draws the listener in by recounting the myth of Pan, a half-god (part man, part goat) known as the god of hunting, rustic music, and shepherds. The speaker uses a reverent tone in the first two lines by describing Pan as a “great” god.
