Answer:

The poem 'Invictus' is by William Ernest Henley.

The Rhyme Scheme of the poem is abab. One example of a Figure of Speech is Personification. 'In the fell clutch of circumstance', 'Circumstance' is personified. It is said to be clutching wickedly.

'Invictus' is a powerful poem. It is all about showing courage in the face of death, and of the will to survive with dignity in the face of severe hardships. The poet stresses that he alone is responsible for his actions, and though he has been battered by fate, he has not been conquered.
