Gwen Harwood’s poem “Father and child” is different from her sonnets as it is told in a narrative style. It tells the story of a young child whose journey from total innocence to the brutal death of an innocent owl, is the major thematic concern. Harwood crafted the poem in the point of view of the child as it allows the audience to look into the child’s thought and emotions. When the child says, “Let him dream of a child obedient, angle-mild” Harwood is clearly stating that the child is going against his father’s orders.
