Q: Did Hamlin Garland need to use depressing imagery to use the reader’s emotions to support his story Under the Lion’s Paw?

The Bereavement of the Lion-keeper The Bereavement of the Lion-keeper is a poem about a relationship between an old Lion-keeper with his Lion who eventually died at the end of the poem.
