Description
This thesis probes the conditions of violence in Hughes's
verse, explains why it occurs so frequently, and gives
reasons for its use. While scrutinizing Hughes's use of
violence, I also demonstrate the strong celebration of life
which occurs in the poetry. I show that both violence and
the celebration of life spring from the same impetus or
spirit which works together to give humankind a sensitive and
complete vision of the universe. I prove that the seemingly
diametrically opposed concepts of violence and the celebration
of life actually exist because of each other, and are in
fact the same exultant energy occurring in different forms.
My thesis deals with Hughes's less-known works:
River: New Poems, Season Sonas, Under the North Star,
The Tiger's Bones, The Iron Man, and selected poems from
Crow.
