In the poem they show a close relationship between the father and the son and the and an acceptance of letting go of his child is evidence of his love and shows a close relationship between the father and son. the poem shows the connection the strong bond the father has towards his son.

love is presented in many various ways in the poem natural tone. the writer presents love as betrayal an uses many language techingue to get his message across.

Thomas hardy uses pathetic fallacy to create the atmosphere of the poem. he uses winter day to create a scene of foreboding this is shown through the poem Thomas hardy uses these in language techniques the setting that is presented in the poem witch shows him beside a pond shows romance in an negative manner from the first paragraph its portrays love as fake due to its paste tense this shows that the relationship was already over. already the poem indicates that the relationship was depleting. as you go on into the poem it describes their relationship by using language technique they are many changes throughout the poem neutral tone including the 4th stanza.The fourth stanza provides a turning point for the poem as the reader realises that what has been explained so far is a described memory this already shows the reader the relationship and love ha been lost the third line is also broken up which perhaps suggests that the speaker does not feel quite as neutral about the memory as the title suggest’s. The third and fourth lines start with negative words such as None and Not the poems uses of negatives undermines the presentation as the second stanza is less conventional as wishes are offered. another way witch the poem portrays love as a betrayal is the smile on your mouth was the deadest thing . this quotation suggest that that the relationship between the man and the woman was fake and was fading away it also show that their love was was ent going to survive. the following line also backs up my theory alive enough to have strength to die. I think that this quotation suggest that she wanted to break up as the relationship had already died a long time ago.

A grin of bitterness swept by this quotation suggests that her smile is fake just like her relationship it also shows her happiness on the outside was masking her true emotion on the inside. The closing lines are presented as a list, an energetic, optimistic outburst that contrasts with the previous language of being average and dull witch suggest optimism. Thomas hardy also calls love as deceiving as he says loves deceives this is another way he shows that love can trick a person Tone is broadly described as the author’s attitude toward his or her subject. It can be passionate, distant, angry, and light hearted among many other possibilities. Unfortunately there are too many possibilities for us to cover, and without knowing your subject, we cannot give the most specific advice possible. The obvious pitfalls include sounding condescending or frivolous, while sounding energetic and enthusiastic is a definite positive.Despite the title’s claim, there is a clear pattern of negative words which runs through the poem lost deadest die bitterness ominous the poet sets the poem in the winter when natural life is less readily visible. The natural features of the landscape in which the poem is set have all been chosen carefully by Hardy to highlight the meaning of the poem and contribute to the tone in the first stanza, for instance the Water is often used by poets to represent life here it is a small, still body of water with no movement emphasizing how the relationship is not going anywhere. the sun is Usually associated with life and here the sun is white and seemingly needy for its warmth and nurture. the decaying leaves these are decaying – just like the relationship. They are gray, as though the color has drained from them. Interestingly, the leaves presumably from the same tree in the last stanza are grayish almost as if the memory is stronger than the reality from where the speaker currently stands. the ash is an ash tree is the source of the leaves but by leaving out the word tree’the reader is reminded of the remains of a fire that has long since burned out symbolizing the death of the relationship and that it burnt out quickly this also means the relationship ended quickly as fire burns trees quickly this is a symbol of saying their relationship was also weak.
