The Man He Killed

The Man He Killed by Thomas Hardy gave me a different thought from the title, that the poem was going to be about some guy that got shot. Some one had murdered another man. The second Stanza was the only part that had to do with shooting and was the only part that deal with someone dying. After reading and talking it over in class i realized it was more to do with a soldier that was in the war. In war you have no guarantee if you will survive or n0t, and I think this poem is trying to show that people that go into war do not know what is coming for them.
