THE REBEL By D.J.ENRIGHT  Critical analysis of the poem Difference between the two categories of rebels  Bring out the element of humor and irony  D.J.

Literary qualities of the poem Moral of the poem As the title of the poem makes it absolutely clear, it is related to the New Year and the stocktaking that human beings have at the expiry of the last year and the advent of a new year. We mean to say that at the arrival of a new year, all the human beings make a neutral assessment of their achievements and failures during the bygone year. Thus they chalk out for themselves a new and better line of action to be followed in the coming year. While so doing their intention is to avoid the follies which they had committed in the days of past. In the poem under discussion, the poetess is also facing the same dilemma of making new and better resolution regarding her future in the light of her past experiences. She doesn't want to welcome the new year in a traditional manner. As the poem reveals, her life in th
