English HL Essay, Moral responsibility as artists, The Troubles, Voice:…

- - - - Used to change from a detached description of the dead body to a more confessional, empathetic tone
- - - - "Dumb" implies that his silence would not only be a sign of complicity, but also foolishness.
      - "Caul" is a membrane that holds the fetus. Visual imagery, covered in transparent tar?
      - "Wept by the railings", builds pathos
      - Connive: to secretly allow injustices to happen
    - - Heaney is peering into the mind of the victim, whilst feeling guilty that documenting such personal matters of a dead person and turning it into art feels insensitive and tasteless.
    - - Heaney assumes that the victim was unjustly blamed and killed, but knows that he would've stayed complicit if he would've witnessed her execution. There is compassion is his words that are contrasted by his complicity. He might be condemning himself.
