Advertisements
Solution
The poet makes the children oppose Kaspar’s viewpoint that it was a great victory. Wilhelmine says the it was a very wicked thing and Kaspar refutes it. Dialogue is used to bring out the clash in the two viewpoints. The writer keeps it impersonal and like in any ballad the suspense is maintained in the tale. The open-ending makes it truly objective and powerful simultaneously in its ant-war stance.
