Tennyson painted a picture of the situation where the soldiers had no idea that they would not win until it was too late. “Someone had blundered, Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die”(Tennyson). This evidence proves their willingness to die in order to follow orders. The statement “Into the mouth of hell Rode the six hundred” also shows how the Russians did their duty because they rode to their death without hesitation(Tennyson). “Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of hell, All that was left of them, Left the six hundred”. The Battle of Balaclava was the topic of the poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade” where the author, Tennyson, wrote about the soldiers’ heroism and the ability to follow their orders to the death. This is important because these Russians did what many people could not do; look into the face of death and keep on
