Question

what do you think the message of the poem "wind"

Answer 1

we should make ourself strong enough to face all kinds of difficulties in life . as wind blows out weak fires but it rather act as bellows to increase the intensity of flzmes if the fire is strong ; similarly ; adversities make us stronger if our hearts are strong but these adversities will shatter us down if we show weak'ness of heart and spirit before them.

Answer 2

In many ways Hughes really is just describing a windy storm in the eyes of a man who lived on a hill.

However you can see in the way the poet exaggerated the effects of the wind, describing the hills as shaking like ‘tents’ and the storm having a ‘mad eye,’ that he wants the reader to see the overwhelming strength of nature, and the fact that all our surroundings and the things humans have built are but feeble when put to the test against Mother Nature. It is a presentation of the symbolic war between humans and nature, in which, in Hughes’ writing, as well as in the real world, Nature is usually the stronger force.

You’ll notice many of Hughes’ poems use similar methods to convey the power of nature and our own feebleness, while creating vivid imagery of the scenes he describes.
