Write down the theme of the following poem (Not more than 50 words).
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!’ Was there a man dismay’d? Not tho’ the soldiers knew Some one had blunder’d: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
The Charge of the Light Brigade by Lord Alfred Tennyson
Answer : The main themes of the poem are death, duty, courage, warfare. This is a poem about the courage of soldiers. Soldiers have to obey the commands. Even if they understand that their commander has made a terrible mistake, they must not disobey the command. So, they follow orders and ride into the “valley of Death”.
