Analysis Of The Poem Hathaway
Hathaway
The part that surprises me about the poem was how fast things changed. One moment I think about a lovely couple in young love and them it just changes at the end with twist of “growling…Hell’s Angels.” One moment I thought it was going to be a happy poem about this couple and then a train with a “black window” and head lights on in the day. I start think that something was different about this poem once the author introduced the train.
This poem challenges my idea of poetry because I did not think poetry could have so many changes such few lines. With two stanzas the author was able to talk the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotion from happy to surprise in an instant.
