Analysis and comments on Hawk Roosting by Ted Hughes

Comment 3 of 3, added on August 1st, 2006 at 11:08 AM.

an abundant but stingy criticism of the present world-order governed by the despotic megalomaniacs.Having maintained a stsrk affinity with Tennyson's The Eagle Hawk Roosting and Blake's The Tiger,Hawk Roosting connectsthe temporal &cerebral images brilliantly.

In this poem the writer suggests that the hawk is very proud. It also shows that the hawk has been mislead in alot of cases. He believes things that cannot be true. Example: He belives that his area will never change, also he believes that the world revolves around him. I think the writer is very interested in the way animals think and in this poem he shows that the hawk is proud but also dumb.
