Could The Suicide be The Executive after a life of failure? :: English Literature
Could The Suicide be The administrator after a life of failure?Although The Suicide might non be The executive after a life offailure, there is strong evidence that he is. The Suicide might not bethe Executive for an obvious reason out and that is that the poets aredifferent. Louis McNeice might not have read John Betjemans poem TheExecutive and this could just be a coincidence besides I strongly believethe poets are talking approximately the very(prenominal) person.There is profound evidence that The Suicide is The Executive. One goodpoint is that they are both set in the late 60s. The Executive isbecause it says I do some mild developing. The sort of positioning I needis a quiet country market townsfolksfolk , he is saying he needs a small townso it is easier to get away with. Thats rather run to informant, this isa metaphor that the town has got past its prime and not spendingmoney anymore like the flower all its efforts go into making seedsthen after that it has gone past its prime and its elegant muchuseless. This is the 60s because there was not a permission of housinguntil after this period of time. No one could just bang downbuildings then. Another aspect of the poem, which makes you considerit is in the 60s, is that Betjeman has pen in his poem I have aSlimline briefcase, which were only use around that time becausethey are like the equivalent of fresh palmtops. Therefore, if theExecutive was so rich he would have the best up to naming technology toshow off for work. In The Suicide it indicates that it is set inthe 60s because McNeice writes in his poem Through which he hadwandered lusciously till he stumbled, which is a 60s song.The executive was so high flying, so cocky and arrogant. Betjeman issatirising The Executive. He was so insecure about his life he had togo talk himself up to strangers who probably siret even care. I am ayoung executive this line shows he was talking to an older person andit was not a woman because they we re not any businesswomen then. Youcan tell immediately that he is trying to sell himself to this otherperson just from two lines No cuffs than mine are cleaner I have aslimline briefcase and I use the firms Cortina. Hes trying to say heis so successful and rich he can afford all these expensive, modernitems like by saying Ive got a scarlet Aston Martin-and does she go?
