How does Betchman portray the weakness of English Middle Classes in Ess

How does Betchman portray the weakness of face Middle Classes inWestminster Abbey?In the poesy In Westminster Abbey the poet (John Betchman) speaks infrom the view of a maam liveliness in the English middle classes in theperiod, in which the Second earth War took place. The poet has set thepoem in the head of the heart of Englands church, Westminster Abbey.The poet narrates to the reads the feelings of this lady and herfeelings of the war, but what the poet does in mainly stereotype allwomen in the English middle classes at the time. In the following Ishall talk virtually how poet portrays the weakness of the English middleclasses.The poem starts of with the lady talking to immortal and continues d 1out with this lady talking to god. The poet sustains a continuesrhythm through out with a regular four beats in separately line, for exampleLET me TAKE this OTHER glove OFF , this technique retains the lectors interest in the poem since the this technique has been usedconsistentl y through out the poem. An supernumerary technique that thepoet has used is couplets this is an early(a) method that stays persistentthrough the poem, for example in the first stanza lines two and fourLet me take this other glove offAs the vox Humana swellsAnd the beauteous fields of heavenBask beneath the Abbey bells.This is another example of the poet trying to keep the contributorattracted to the poem through out, and keep a persistent flow.As one reads the poem they expected to realize that that the lady hasa selfish attitude, this is shown in many aspects of the poem one ofwhich is shown in the second stanzaGracious Lord, OH BOMB THE GERMANS, trig their women for thy sake,If that is not too ea... ...mpire, this I thinkthe poet also narrates this fact in the third stanzaKeep our Empire undismemberedGuide our forces by Thy Hand,Here the lady is ask God keep the Empire united and to guide themto victory.In expiration the poet portrays a major weakness of the English middlecl asses in the poem In Westminster Abbey, although they werewealthy, well educated for the times standards and considered as of asuperior status than others. one and only(a) is led to believe that they lackedthe understanding and wisdom that people generally acquire today, alsothey were selfish and ironic which have learnt from lines like Dontlet anyone go me and If that is not too easy. I have made thesestatements from the assumption that the reader is led to believe thatthis poem is a stereotype and a reason out view or opinion of theEnglish middle classes.
