Hawk Roosting

In the poem of Hawk Roosting by Ted Hughes , the author used metaphor to compare the Hawk in a super natural person . Almost the poems made by Hughes , the main characters are animals . He emphasizes these animals as superb in all things . The Hawk symbolizes as powerful , high flying and has control to its environment for self convenience . Like in the second stanza were the author said that high trees are fitting to the Hawk Are of advantage to me . ADDIN EN .CITE Hughes2006112Ted HughesHawk RoostingPoem2006http /www .erzsebel

The reality of the world is being picture here in this poem . People tend to commit crimes that are a violation on the natural laws made by God
