I totally messed up with Hardy, and I was supposed to get full marks in that question, according to my teacher. Here is a brief outline of what I did..
HARDY AND 'HAP'
* The voice of God, showing blasphemy - Adapts a voice - Shows unconventionality of his poems.
* Link to 'The Oxen' - Shows where he is terms of religion - Uncertainty of the notion of God.
* Form of a dramatic monologue - Shows self-indulgent nature through first person view
* Link to 'The Going' - How he doesn't give a voice to Emma, and uses accusative and abrupt language though his anger is irrational.
* Structure is in the form of a sonnet, ironic as they normally are about love, yet also could show his love and reliance on religion because he feels that just waiting for 'crass Casualty', or random events to take place, gives him less control over life.
* Summary - The poem is effective as it discusses themes that are typical of Hardy, discusses his main views and beliefs, and shows the true Hardy to the reader.
..I know, I know. I totally forgot to disagree that 'Hap' was effective. Do you still think.I'd get an A, with that brief outline..?
