Wind

In Wind, Hughes uses metaphors to present the danger of the wind.

'Flexing like the lens of a mad eye' - Metaphor

The 'lens of a mad eye' is a metaphor used to symbolize the eye of storm, referring to its volatile and unpredictable nature, with the word 'mad' personifying the wind, suggesting that the it's nature is much more sinister and malevant. This depiction of the wind being through the spearkers words has the effect of

emphasizing the wind's danger, as the speaker is used to make the reader more engaged and more personally involved in the poem.

The jaguar

Hughes presented animals in the poem with lots of Personification. In the poem, Hughes wrote 'Fatigued with indolence, tiger and lion'. where he personified tiger and lion's fatigue as a sign of indolence. But 'Indolence' is a word used when describing an status of a human. Thus, through portraying indolence on animals in the poem, Hughes creates an contrast effect between the

stoutly jaguar and the other

animals who seemed to have lost

their nature.

Hawk Roosting (Nature and Supernatural)

In the poem "Hawk Roosting", the hawk embodies the primal force of nature. It sees itself as the center of the natural world, with a sense of superiority, power, and control over its surroundings.

The hawk's perspective reflects a belief in its own divinity or supernatural status. Lines such as "I kill where I please because it is all mine" and "Now I hold Creation in my foot" convey the hawk's sense of absolute power and authority over nature.

This explores the idea of the hawk as a powerful creature,

transcending the ordinary boundaries of the natural world.

Cat and Mouse

The Mouse is presented as the prey in the poem. The author illustrates the struggles of the mouse in constant fear of getting eaten "Staring out the chance it dared not take", "Stupor of life". Humans dont understand that most animals live in constant fear of their predators. Could be

presented for the 21st century, like talking to women
