Resource summary
Bayonet Charge
About
a soldier's experience of a violent battle
his thoughts and actions as he tries to avoid being shot
the soldier's overriding emotion is fear
this has replaced the patriotic ideas he had before the violence began
Form
Enjambment
rather than neat line endings
to show the soldier's urgency and desperation
Structure
starts in the middle of the action
describes the soldiers movements over a short period of time
the middle stanza implies a pause where time seems to stand still
the reality of the situation becomes more apparent
the final stanza describes his panic-movement as he runs for safety
Language
Universal
'he' is used rather than a name to keep him anonymous
could represent any young soldier
Figurative
to emphasize horror and physical pain
e.g. 'a rifle numb as a smashed arm
Violent
shocking imagery brings home the sights and sounds of war
helps convey the sense of confusion and fear to the reader more strongly
Feelings/Attitudes
Terror
the poem challenges patriotism
this shows how desperate terror becomes, overriding any emotion
Confusion
the soldiers are physically disorientated by the gunfire therefore making them confused
he is also questioning what he is doing there
