Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred Lord Tennyson
The structure throughout this revolutionary poem proves to
stand the test of time, instantly throwing us into the scene of
blood and gore at the battle of Balaklava with the opening line,
“half a league, half a league, half a league onwards
...
Furthermore, this repetition
is motivational and portrays the nature of war being consistent,
happening quickly and often, almost so often that it is a
meaningless normalcy
...
This is
reinforced by the altering tone in stanza 5, where a reminiscent
retrospect ensues to mourn the deaths of so many soldiers,
supported by “horse and hero fell / they had fought so well / all
that was left of six hundred
...
This is made clear
with a cyclical motion at the end of the poem similarly with the
beginning: “six hundred
...
To add, the line in
the opening stanza that is similarly repeated, “valley of Death,”
is clearly important and heightened by it’s capital letter,
portraying inevitability and insignificance: furthermore, the fate
of the soldiers, demanded to fight by anonymised authority
