This Poem Can Also Be Read as a Reflection of Convention

question 35

Essay

This poem can also be read as a reflection of convention, of the status quo. Do you read a sense of regret and tragedy in Auden's voice? If so, why might he feel this way about the ordinary life of this unknown citizen? Is there something morally stifling about such ordinariness? Does an ethical life demand that we make adventurous and countercultural choices?
