ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to analyze stylistically Ted Hughes’ poem “THE CASUALTY”.
This analysis covers different aspects of stylistic levels such as graphological level,
phonological level, morphological level and lexico-syntactic level. All these aspects
are helpful to understand the literal and figurative meanings that were employed
by the poet. Ted Hughes in this poem through the accident of an aircraft depicted a
man helpless in face of an adversity, and also showed the people who saw this
happening, unable to help out the man in trouble.
Keywords: Stylistic analysis, casualty, graphological, phonological, morphological
and lexico-syntactic level.
