Analysis and comments on The Grauballe Man by Seamus Heaney

Simple and well-written, The Graballe Man is a mixture of history with loads of nice sound words to make the poem amazing to read and follow!

I am facinated by Heaney's usage of violence in this poem. He presents both the ideas of history and art in this poem with simple words such as "corpse" and "cast." While I personally liked the Tollund Man better either one could easily be linked to his poem "digging."
