We are quickly acknowledged to the fact that the man is a very loving and caring person, and so was his wife. However, as much as he trusted his wife and loves her, she does not feel the same way: " Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died." (153). Quickly we realize that his wife was not as loving, caring, or faithful as him because she was going to deceive her man had it not been such a dreadful outcome, her death. The man always thought his partner loved him back equally as much as he loved her, perceiving almost a perfect relationship to the reader.
She referred to this processing as the five stages of grief; they are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. These stages are not necessarily in order and are unique to each individual person. In the book “Lament for a Son”, the author poignantly expresses the five stages of grief. The denial stage appears to be brief and fleeting as the death of his son is so sudden. He describes the moment in which he is told of his son’s death and his denial by writing, “For three seconds I felt peace of resignation: arms extended, limp son in hand, peacefully offering him to someone-Someone.
The poem is about the life of a young man who went to war with the idea that that it was a brave and noble act and upon returning home he would be showered with thanks and parades on his bravery. However, the soldier comes back with both his legs amputated and his arm. The third person narrative of the poem makes the poem impersonal but to an extent that Owen's audience can sympathize and maybe even some can relate to the disabled soldier. The story of the soldier's life is put down in chronological order in which the poem starts with how happy he was when "Town used to swing so gay.." (Line 7) to when "There was an artist silly for his face, For it was younger than his youth, last year..." (Lines 14-15). The soldier's reminiscence of the past makes the reader pity the soldier as he was a youthful and lively young man who was innocent in the sense that he was living a vibrant life,

He was sent home from his boarding school and when he returns home he is greeted with strangers saying they were sorry for his trouble. The next day, he goes up to a calm room where his brother is laying. He looks at him and Heaney gives you an idea of what his little brother looks like and how he died. Throughout the poem, Heaney uses imagery to help convey how he is feeling. This is effective as you can feel what he is and understand what he was going through.
He started expressing a strong word that is “love” and the sayings of Robert Kennedy when Robert was alive. Ted used examples to contribute the image of his dead brother, such as the speech of his brother to the young people of South Africa and what Robert really meant to do if he lived. The introduction grabs the audience´s attention almost instantly since the speech is a eulogy of a dead honorable man; however, the audience´s attention slowly decreased during the middle of his speech. The conclusion raised the attention at the end because of the strong last quote and the intense emotions expressed by Ted Kennedy toward his brother. The language that Ted has used can be understood, so no unfamiliar words were present; however, his vocabulary was very advanced but acceptable to the mature public.
As an individualistic person, he cares about himself, and his immediate family. This ironically causes a conflict of interest within him. He has stayed with his wife and chosen his career path (a police officer) because it is best for his family, and, having been abandoned by his own father, he explains to his new love Kathy “I swore I’d never do that to my own…” (Dubus 140) Staying together for the children used to be a very common excuse given regarding
He does not show any outward sign that he is grieving too much over the death of his brother, but traces of his sadness could be seen in the times when he recalls memories of his brother, “the baby cooed and rocked the pram” and “lay in the four foot box as in his cot”. Heaney delivered the poem shrouded in mystery. His introduction in the first stanza does not give the audience a clue about what would happen next. It had a relaxed, happy tone, and gives us the impression that he had all the time in the world to spare. This was shown by the act of “Counting bells knelling classes to a close”, making the first stanza seem to last a long time.
