“The interrogation” by Edwin Muir

The numbers The motion by Edwin Muir is near the polar ship canal that raft deal with and re exercise in different situations. I look this verse form is ab out a few emigrants who ar illegally hybrid the border to enter a country they argon non licitly permitted to. The interrogation that the poem talks about is the questioning that these people are put through by the law enforcement troops that these emigrants encounter at the border.We know that the poem is about this illegal emigration because at the ascendant of the poem states, and thus came the patrol This confirms that at that place is a governmental classify of people involved. I think the central opposition of the poem is about bravery and fear. The way these people choose to handle the interrogation determines whether or not they will be able to breed the border. If they answer with courage and assertion then they will be much more likely to be allowed through as opposed to if they answer with fear. We kno w that they reacted unwisely in this scenario because the poem says they vacillated in their approach to crossing the border. This is what led them to be interrogated by the patrol.This has a direct relation to real life you are more likely to succeed in things that you handle with courage then those that you handle with fear, as fear leads to suspicion. These people are doing an illegal act and we know that they handle the situation with the wrong approach. We are further corroborate that what these people are doing is illegal when the poem says Must come out now, who, what we are, It conveys a sense of deception to the readers. I also think that concord to the poem virtually people, that were confident and came as families were let through to cross the border with ease. This is supported because the poem says, The careless lovers in pairs go by, around the end of the poem, the poet talks about the response and state of mind of these emigrants. The poem tells us that these peop le are getting more nervous as they are being questioned more and more. This is a build-up in the poem and it demonstrates how the people are increasingly getting more nervous as this interrogation progresses. We know so from the following lines,And the thoughtless field is near.We are on the very edge,Endurance almost done,And still the interrogation is going on. there is a contrast between the different companys of people shown in this poem because the people that are going in pairs tend not to hesitate when they cross the border, whereas these other people do. This is a contrast between the different ways that people handle situations. We can assume, from the evidence that I render given that it is an interrogation that questions the actions of these emigrants and why they are trying to cross the border. These would be regular routine questions. The fact that the poem is pen using we shows that there is more than one and perhaps its a gang or group of people. However, the impr ession that is given to the readers is that these emigrants are innocent people just look for a new home, rather than a group of criminals.The poem is written in clear language and has a lasting effect on the readers. It demonstrates how actions can determine where different people will end up in the long run. It gives the readers a chance to think of how and why some of the people were held back and interrogated while others werent and crossed this road without difficulty. The effect of the courage and fear aspects is significant and seems like it was the main intention of the reader to play up those features in the poem. They happen to be very effective techniques in contagious the readers attention. However, the poem is not so predictable and changes its style in which the points are pointed out to the reader often.
