The irony here is that despite the authors welsh name he was english and never ever visited wales except to research his book. the 'sensitive boy' in question in the play is a boy from a welsh mining villiage who's potential is noticed by his english teacher and he is sent to uni in england therefore escaping his terrible life in the welsh mining village<br /><br />The reference to 'America, Cardiff and the moon' means that anywhere is better than where they are .<br /><br />The last bit i know is that 'Ianto' is a petform welsh version of the name 'Ifan' which is the welsh rendering of 'John' another biblical message. The part about sheep satirises the fact that people have no understanding of or no weish to understand welsh culture or literature and therefore ianto kills himself. Its also a nod to the longstanding joke that there are more sheep in wales than people and also that the sheep are the only people left.<br /><br />the final line means that fact is often stranger than fiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772190.post-20831523805996106552010-06-10T09:21:39.935+01:002010-06-10T09:21:39.935+01:00The reference to the Wales free army is a nod towa...The reference to the Wales free army is a nod towards the welsh nationalists burning down the english holiday homes in the 70's.... i'm not sure the ins and out of that situation so google it.<br /><br />'God the well known tv personality' is the idea that religion has been replaced in culture by the tv in culture and the reference to leaving on the last train means that there is nothing to stay forAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772190.post-81277746896266219452010-06-10T09:18:07.835+01:002010-06-10T09:18:07.835+01:00i am studying this poem for my english GCSE, and h...i am studying this poem for my english GCSE, and have found it almost imposible to find any analysis of this poem but this is what i know.<br /><br />Webb here uses satire to juxtapose the ridiculous in the poem with actual serious problems linked to the decline of Welsh culture. <br /><br />The 'Revival' here has a double meaning between reference to all the girls being pregnant and also a revival being a traditional welsh religious gathering with the point being that the culture has moved away from the religious, hence all the girls being pregnant and immoral.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772190.post-33515008709370281582010-06-10T09:08:18.919+01:002010-06-10T09:08:18.919+01:00i don't get this poemi don't get this poemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772190.post-43215538372157333162010-04-27T15:49:11.339+01:002010-04-27T15:49:11.339+01:00Sorry - it was SimeonSorry - it was SimeonCathy Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20772190.post-38272317935244616342010-04-27T15:48:15.737+01:002010-04-27T15:48:15.737+01:00I'm glad it made Simon laugh.
