question 12

Comment on the use of three symbols in “The Second Coming”.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
observation


The candidates treated this question with a religious connotation interpreting it as
the second coming of Jesus Christ.  The main point of the symbols used was
missed by the candidates.  The candidates were expected to highlight the
following points.

- The poem is on a certain idea of change.
- The poet uses a lot of symbols to illustrate the elements, as well as the ground for worse things to happen.
- The title of the poem is equally symbolic with its allusion of biblical prophecies.

Most of the candidates did not meet the demands of the question.
