      Lucifer better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven

      The poem was written in honour of those who gave their life for the country. The poem represents a particularly potent example of bravery as the soldiers knew they would likely die in the battle but choose to carry on anyway. The poem makes frequent use of repetition to emphasise key elements.

      For example “cannon” is repeated a number of times to draw attention to the difference in weaponry showing the danger the soldiers face. Furthermore, repetition is used to command the reader to “honour” the sacrifice the light brigade made for their country.

      Alongside this, personification is used to contrast the battlefield with hell when it says “Jaws of Death” and “mouth of hell” illustrating the horrors the soldiers face in this charge. Overall, the poem was the reader into understanding the sacrifice these men made.
