    Invisible Man Commentary There is a constant struggle for people to find their self identity in a world where society tries to force them to become somebody else.

    Commentary on Field of Autumn Advancing like a silent threat‚ the onset of winter is presented throughout the poem as a season with sinister intent. The “acid breath of noon” approaches in a “Slow” manner‚ as if sneaking up on autumn. The personification of the “acid breath” not only suggests to the reader the fog is murderous‚ but one could be lead to imagine that the fog is poison gas. This is because “Field of Autumn” was published in 1947‚ two years after the Second World War; clearly the memory
