    The document summarizes Ted Hughes' poem "Hawk Roosting" through analyzing its poetic devices, theme, and tone. It discusses how the hawk uses hyperbole to present itself as godlike. Symbolism reinforces the hawk's sense of power and security. Through its monologue and rhyme scheme, the poem conveys the hawk's self-importance and the violence in its nature without regret. The theme is about destructive forces in nature and life. The tone is one of violence and arrogance as the hawk asserts its superiority through its repeated use of first-person pronouns.

    Rhyme

    - no discernible pattern, representing that there are no constraints on the hawk. - Stresses fall on words of violence, for example, "hooked", kills", "tearing", "death". Frequent end stopping. Lines are quite short which adds to the terseness. to convey hawk's self-importance.
