\u201cAbout his person\u201d, suggests that this poem is\u00a0about what is\u00a0found about the person of\u00a0a\u00a0dead corpse. It\u00a0also follows the theme of\u00a0identity because we\u00a0as\u00a0the reader are attempting to\u00a0analyse the poem to\u00a0find out the corpse\u2019s characteristics and why he\u00a0died. \u201cAbout he\u00a0person\u201d, can also be\u00a0linked to\u00a0us because we\u00a0are made to\u00a0think about what makes up\u00a0our own personal image.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0first observation about the poem is\u00a0the fact that it\u00a0is\u00a0spilt into two line couplets.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This could be\u00a0linked to\u00a0the content because the lines are short which could represent his short life, but they also give the impression of\u00a0a\u00a0list, which ties into the fact that the poem is\u00a0basically a\u00a0catalogue of\u00a0what was found on\u00a0the body.<\/p>\n

Stanza one says that the corpse had exactly five pounds fifty in\u00a0change. This in\u00a0itself is\u00a0strange because it\u00a0isn\u2019t normal to\u00a0carry around that exact amount of\u00a0money.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The comma on\u00a0line one helps to\u00a0exaggerate the fact that this isn\u2019t normal and we\u00a0are mad to\u00a0think of\u00a0possible reasons for him having this money. The next line shows that a\u00a0library card was found on\u00a0the corpse and that it\u00a0was on\u00a0its date of\u00a0expiry. This could symbolise that his life has ended or\u00a0that his life, like the card, is\u00a0no\u00a0longer any good.<\/p>\n

The next stanza is\u00a0about a\u00a0post card that was found. The card has been stamped and franked which means it\u00a0is\u00a0basically ready to\u00a0send, but nothing has been written on\u00a0it. This could definitely be\u00a0a\u00a0metaphor for his life, it\u00a0has finished but he\u00a0hasn\u2019t done anything with\u00a0it. The commas in\u00a0this section make\u00a0us read the words slower and help\u00a0us to\u00a0realise something wrong with the post card.<\/p>\n

Stanza three is\u00a0all about this person\u2019s diary. It\u00a0has been slashed from March 24th to\u00a0the 1st April. This could have been his last week alive and the person could have died on\u00a0April fools day, which could suggest a\u00a0poor practical joke. It\u00a0may also show that this person life was a\u00a0joke and was meaningless.<\/p>\n

Stanza four is\u00a0a\u00a0very interesting part of\u00a0the poem. It\u00a0says that the corpse is\u00a0found with a\u00a0brace of\u00a0keys for a\u00a0mortise lock. The word brace is\u00a0symbolic for his death because when you kill foul you would normally end up\u00a0with a\u00a0brace of\u00a0birds. The mortise lock suggests that his life was very complicated because mortise locks are complicated lock mechanisms. The next line describes that the man was carrying a\u00a0stopped analogue watch. This is\u00a0very symbolic of\u00a0his death because time has stopped for the watch and for this person. The line is\u00a0also written with commas between the words. This makes\u00a0us read the words like the ticking of\u00a0a\u00a0clock, which is\u00a0slowly dieing and eventually stops.<\/p>\n

Stanza five contains the line, \u201cA\u00a0final demand.\u201d This is\u00a0normally a\u00a0letter you get when you owe bank money. This would suggest that this man was so\u00a0badly in\u00a0debt that he\u00a0killed himself. The next line could also prove this meaning because he\u00a0was holding the final demand in\u00a0his own hand and died because of\u00a0the letter, but there is\u00a0a\u00a0different meaning to\u00a0this stanza. \u201cIn\u00a0his own hand,\u201d could mean that the final demand was written in\u00a0his handwriting. This would mean that he\u00a0has written his final demand to\u00a0the world that may mean the letter was some kind or\u00a0suicide note.<\/p>\n

Stanzas six and seven, link in\u00a0with stanza five and helps to\u00a0prove my\u00a0last idea. The final demand is\u00a0an\u00a0explanation of\u00a0why he\u00a0committed suicide and has been put in\u00a0his hand like a\u00a0flower that has been beheaded. This flower could also be\u00a0a\u00a0metaphor for his death because the flower is\u00a0dead but it\u00a0could also reflect the reason for his death. I\u00a0presume that this person has killed himself because of\u00a0a\u00a0relationship, this means that he\u00a0would have probably lost something beautiful form his life, like his wife.<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0the same with the flower because it\u00a0has lost its beautiful head. The next line a\u00a0shopping list, links in\u00a0with the fact that he\u00a0has exactly five pounds fifty in\u00a0change. He\u00a0could have the exact money needed for what is\u00a0on\u00a0this list. This ties in\u00a0with stanza four and the mortise lock because this person has a\u00a0complicated life and this is\u00a0shown by\u00a0counting out the exact money needed for what is\u00a0on\u00a0his list. Most people would take excess money to\u00a0the shops but this person has to\u00a0complicate things.<\/p>\n

Stanza eight shows that a\u00a0giveaway photo was found inside this person\u2019s wallet and that it\u00a0was a\u00a0very precious and treasured thing to\u00a0the owner. The fact that this is\u00a0a\u00a0giveaway photo may mean that it\u00a0meant nothing to\u00a0the person in\u00a0the picture but the fact that this is\u00a0now banked in\u00a0the heart of\u00a0a\u00a0locket shows it\u00a0was very important to\u00a0the dead man. It\u00a0may be\u00a0of\u00a0his partner who is\u00a0now dead which would make it\u00a0even more treasured. The photo is\u00a0described as\u00a0being stashed and banked which shows how important it\u00a0was to\u00a0this person and how he\u00a0tried to\u00a0keep it\u00a0safe.<\/p>\n

The last two stanzas are very much liked together. The first is\u00a0saying that there is\u00a0no\u00a0gold or\u00a0silver wedding ring on\u00a0his finger but instead crowing one finger is\u00a0a\u00a0weathered spot where a\u00a0ring used to\u00a0be. The fact that the word crowing is\u00a0used means that this was extremely important to\u00a0the wearer and has a\u00a0royal quality to\u00a0it. The last line has two possible meanings that\u00a0I can see. The first being,\u201d that was everything,\u201d as\u00a0being the end of\u00a0list and that was all that was found on\u00a0the dead body. The other could mean that the ring of\u00a0unweathered skin was everything. The ring less finger could be\u00a0the reason for the suicide. This person could have lost his wife and so\u00a0killed himself.<\/p>\n

While reading the poem\u00a0I also get the feeling that this man didn\u2019t commit suicide because of\u00a0the death of\u00a0his wife. I\u00a0think that someone could have murdered this person and then his ring was stolen. I\u00a0get this feeling for a\u00a0number of\u00a0different reasons. The first being that his analogue self-winding watch has stopped, it\u00a0should continue to\u00a0work because it\u00a0is\u00a0self-winding but instead it\u00a0has been brought to\u00a0an\u00a0end. This is\u00a0how\u00a0I see this person\u2019s death, he\u00a0wasn\u2019t supposed to\u00a0die, but still his life has come to\u00a0an\u00a0end. I\u00a0think that the watch was probably damaged during a\u00a0fight of\u00a0some sort and then gradually died.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0also think that this person could have been murdered because his note of\u00a0explanation has been planted in\u00a0his hand. This could mean that the note was planted because this links with the spray carnation, which is\u00a0a\u00a0flower, or\u00a0it\u00a0could have been planted on\u00a0the body, in\u00a0his hand, by\u00a0the murderer. The final piece of\u00a0evidence\u00a0I see for the murder is\u00a0that there was giveaway photo in\u00a0his wallet. This could be\u00a0a\u00a0giveaway photo as\u00a0I have already said or\u00a0it\u00a0could be\u00a0a\u00a0photo that gives away the identity of\u00a0the killer or\u00a0some information on\u00a0the crime.<\/p>\n

Overall I\u00a0think that this poem shows a\u00a0lonely guy who due to\u00a0desperation has killed himself because of\u00a0the death or\u00a0divorce of\u00a0his greatly loved partner. That\u2019s why\u00a0I would agree that the ring of\u00a0white unweathered skin, \u201cThat was everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
