'Hawk Roosting' analyse af Ted Hughes' digt

When you think about evilness, you will often think about terror, killers, rapist or something like that. Someone will maybe say that evil is when you don’t care about the things you do and doesn’t regret if you do something wrong. Evil can also be when you do things that you know are wrong but do it anyway. There has been made a lot of poems about evilness and some darker than others. Ted Hughes has made some of them. You can ask who is he? Why did he make poems about evilness? Ted Hughes was a man, a writer, from Great Britain. He wrote a lot about the innocent brutality of animals and the evilness of the animals. Hawk Roosting is about a bird there think is owns the world or the Creating, like it calls it in the text.

The poem, Hawk Roosting by Ted Hughes, is based on a hawks’ eye view of the world. The narrator is first person because in the text there is an “I” ex. “I am going to keep things like this” (ll. 24). Like you can see, there is the “I” in the start of the example. The hawk in the poem is a symbol of superiority, powerful and arrogance. It is seated on the treetop, the hawk looks down on the world like a king, just like in the text: “I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed” (ll. 1). You can see that the bird is looking down at the rest of the world “Now I hold Creation in my foot” (ll. 12). You see that it calls it the Creation and it sound like it is the hawks’ own thing. The bird is very arrogant, like you can see in the text “No arguments assert my right.” (ll. 20). The arguments now have to assert the hawks’ right.
