| Front | What form may 'Storm on the Island' have and what effect might this have? |
|---|---|
| Back | It has some elements of a dramatic monologue. This is where a single person is talking to someone else, but the speaker is not the poet and the listener is silent throughout. Heaney may be taking on the persona of an islander talking about or to the storm (the listener). This presents a one-sided view of the storm and so could show the power imbalance - how the storm is so much more powerful than humans that it is indifferent to it. |
