 Studying remains. Here's how you can analyse this poem. In terms of structure, the poem is written in eight stanzas. The first seven are quatrains. However, the eighth is what we call a couplet. The poem begins in media ray, which means in the middle of action, and it seems like a conversation at first. Illiteration shows that the speaker is a soldier who was sent to tackle looters. Illiteration in Sazira here shows that one of the looters started running away, and he might not have been armed. The hyperbole in line 9 shows that they killed this unarmed man. This metaphor highlights how horrible and grisly this man's death was. These verbs are really dehumanising. They show that the dead man is treated like an animal. The Sazira in line 17 is powerful because it highlights the turning point of the poem. Illiteration in Jean Mont shows the soldier is haunted by the memory of killing this unarmed man. The repetition of line 4 shows that this man is haunted by the trauma of this killing. Illiteration emphasises how the soldier now has PTSD. And this is a reference to Lady Macbeth who went crazy from a guilt.
