Analysis of "Vultures" by Chinua Achebe (AQA POC Cluster 1) focusing on the central paradox of the poem: how is it that love and evil can exist side by side? Constructive comments are always welcome; please take the time to have a look at my other poetry videos.

  • which other poems could we compare this poem to?

  • @ilanabieber2 Watch the comparison video- that should tell you!

  • I know your a busy guy tonight, but could this poem be described as "Oxymoronic?"

  • @BoornIdentity Definitely- it's rife with oxymorons. That said, a better turn of phrase might be "a poem which represents one of the greatest paradoxes inherent in humankind" or similar, then use "oxymoron" to describe the specific linguistic moments where this aplies.

  • From all the exam questions on the poetry, which one has been on the exam paper the least.

  • @101Vanya Doesn't matter- just make sure you know them all as there is absolutely no pattern to help you guess them- believe me I've tried!

  • you are the only reason i might pass my gcse's

  • Could you say that with Belsen being an evil man, but from where it says 'Daddy' and that the daughter/son is waiting for him to come home shows that he is a loving caring person? but is two different people in two different situations?

  • @TheHodge94 Sounds good...
