Through The Darkness Ethos Pathos And Logos

In life, we are often faced with difficult choices. We are forced to make these choices, but they affect not only our moral ideals, but also our surroundings. The metaphor in Through the Darkness reveals the importance of acting rather than observing, which is important in unexpected situations. Otherwise, ignorance and failure to make immediate decisions can have serious consequences, so it is everyone's responsibility to act correctly and follow morals and ethics.

The poem sets a dark scene at the beginning. It is a dark night and the speakers find a dead deer while driving on a narrow road. Instead of driving past it, they decide to roll it into the canyon to avoid more deaths. The desire "to swerve might make more dead" (4) suggests that the speakers feel responsible for the safety of others, and here the authors imply that they have encountered this

"her side was warm; her fawn lay there waiting, alive, still, never to be born". (10-11). The author realizes that the fawn may still be alive. The emphasis is on the possibility of the word "still". But the speaker insists that the fawn will die. However, when the fate of the fawn was in the driver's mind alone, he hesitated, and his concern made him stop.

In the fourth stanza, indecision accompanies him. The red color suggests the blood of the dead deer, and the car symbolizes this technology. All this happens in the darkness, and although it is a small event, the impact is enormous. It is a moral dilemma to save the fawn, risking the other cars. Or pushing the doe into the abyss. Around him, "I could hear the wilderness listen."(16). Anthropomorphism is used here. It shows that like the "wilderness" can listen like a human being. As the poet tries to decide what to do with the dead deer and fawn, he anthropomorphizes the natural wilderness that surrounds the speaker. This brief description is
