Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Anglistik), course: Introduction to Literary Studies, language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with the poem “1914: The Soldier“ from Rupert Brooke, focusing on the transmitted emotions with their functions and the achieved effect. The particular language and usage of several stylistic, as well as structural devices in a poem are not chosen by coincidence and in order to understand the included message, a detailed analysis of the poem will be provided in the following chapter (cf. 2.) as foundation for the following studies. The third chapter (cf. 3.) contains an extensive consideration of the emotions used in the poem and how they are transmitted to the reader. Furthermore, the effects of those emotions and the intended functions will be examined. Due to the fact, that people are influenceable through rhetoric devices, the following thesis will be validated: The strong usage of positive and patriotic emotions is able to manipulate the reader, in order to present the terrible act of dying during a war as something desirable.
