Link between theme and
layout
The charge of the light brigade is a poem with the theme of
war and how as they charge further more of them are getting killed, until they
retreat with few numbers. The poem is set out in a very defined manner due to
the fact that each paragraph is the same length. However the last stanza is
shorter. This symbolises the fact that the amount of people coming back is
smaller. Also the enjambment of the poem
stops on the last stanza to slow the rhythm of the poem this shows that the
battle has stopped and everything calms down.
