war photographer

Question 1

structure

Answer 1

Form: 4 regular quatrains (four-line stanzas), written in iambic pentameter, which adds a controlled, measured rhythm — reflecting the photographer’s attempt to impose order on chaos.

Volta (turn) in the third stanza: shifts from the darkroom to the memories of war, showing how trauma intrudes into his quiet space.

Cyclical structure: begins and ends with the photographer alone — showing the endless cycle of war, memory, and emotional isolation.

Enjambment and caesura: used to disrupt the rhythm — mirroring emotional tension and the disjointed nature of trauma and memory.
